* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:: In the 30th anniversary special, there is a skit featuring the cast of ''[[Frasier]]'' sserving on the USS Voyager under Janeway. At one point, a Klingon beams aboard with the dog, which had been digging up azalea bushes on the Klingon homeworld. Janeway remarks, "Now you see why we shouldn't have [[Star Trek: Enterprise|pets on starships]]".

* [[Mary Suetopia]]: Roddenberry's vision for Trek, but especially the first season of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''.

* [[The Problem with Licensed Games]]: Star Trek has been notoriously variable with the quality of its forays into interactive entertainment - partially because distilling the essence of the best episodes of the series into a truly interactive format is goddamn hard. The "best" Trek games to date have been somewhat more combat-focused than many of the shows really were. Of course, the fact that the license keeps bouncing between hands and developers (unlike [[~~Lucas Arts~~]], who've been refining their Star Wars offerings for the better part of two decades now) has not helped matters in the slightest.

** The two genres which are widely considered to have been ''most'' adaptable are [[Real Time Strategy|strategy games]] (''[[Star Trek Bridge Commander]]'', ''[[Star Trek Armada]]'', et al) for the combat elements, and [[Point and Click|point and click adventures]] (''[[Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (video game)]]'', ''[[Judgment Rites]]'', ''[[A Final Unity]]'') for their episodic nature and ability to explore some of Trek's more ponderous aspects. ''25th Anniversary'' and ''A Final Unity'' in particular are often held up as being the closest you can get to actually playing interactive episodes of their respective television series, complete with the complete original casts providing the in-game voices of their characters ([[And the Fandom Rejoiced|which helps a '''lot''' with the atmosphere]]).

* [[Sequelitis]]: it began with the very first episode of ''Voyager'', but by the time ''Insurrection'' rolled around, even major critics were noting that the franchise was taking a fairly serious and noticeable dip in quality. ''Enterprise'' and ''Nemesis'' are "credited" with coming within a whisper of '''killing''' the franchise (''Nemesis'' being the only Trek film in history to ''not'' turn a profit); the reboot salvaged it, but the quality of sequels to it remain to be seen.

* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: Watching a later ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode is almost like watching a movie in television show form. The best examples would likely be "The Best of Both Worlds" (TNG), "The Way of the Warrior" (DS9), "Scorpion" (VOY) and "Twilight" (ENT). Of the movies the favorites are ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan|Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan]]'', ''[[Star Trek: ~~First Contact|Star Trek~~ First Contact]]'' and ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]].''
