Line 14:
* [[Career Versus Man]]: Carolyn must choose between Apollo and her duty. Early on, Bones even discussed the trope.
* [[Death of the Old Gods]]: Apollo says that gods "return to the cosmos" when they are no longer worshiped. All the other gods have done this, and now he will too.
* [[Did We Just Have Tea Withwith Cthulhu?]]: Apollo pops out of nowhere and casually invites Kirk and co. over for a visit. (It isn't purely social, though.)
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: Kirk and co. turn their back to Apollo and laugh when he demands sacrafices of deer and laurel leaves in hopes of getting their point across.
* [[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?]]: Carolyn charms Apollo, and is charmed by him.
* [[Divine Date]]: Apollo demands some alone time with Carolyn. She doesn't exactly fight it.
* [[Expy]]: Female ''Enterprise'' historian is wooed by superior being and briefly turns her back on the crew? [[Star Trek (Franchise)/Recap/S1 E22 Space Seed|Where have we heard this before?]] (It's especially funny if you assume Carolyn is Marla McGivers's replacement, though that raises the question of why their uniforms were different colors.)
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: Chekov mentions creatures that can produce their own energy, vis a vis, the electric eel, some creature from another planet and something he called "Fluffy".
* [[Gilded Cage]]: The pastoral setting Apollo has conjured looks like Paradise. But, it is still a prison if one is not allowed to leave.
Line 30:
* [[Negative Space Wedgie]]: The weird green hand.
* [[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions]]: In his tantrum, Apollo says he would love Kirk and his crew like children. Kirk comes out and says they have outgrown that need.
* [[Power Echoes]]: Apollo loves using a booming, echoing voice that would put [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Princess Luna]] to shame. His voice softens when he speaks to Carolyn.
* [[Physical God]]: Apollo
* [[Please Spare Him, My Liege]]: Carolyn pleads with Apollo not to destroy Kirk and co. for openly mocking him.
Line 39:
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Apollo just knew someday humans would go to the stars and has been waiting centuries upon centuries for them, only to find they have no interest in being his followers. No one does. He's so lonely.
* [[Wine Is Classy]]: Apollo invites Kirk and co. to "drink the sacramental wine". He serves no wine, but a bowl of grapes can be seen.
* [[You Are a Credit Toto Your Race]]: Apollo tells Carolyn she is wise for a woman. She later turns it on him, telling him he's quite good at imitating humanity.
