Crowning Moment of Awesome: Enough to go around.
- Usually when someone is about to make a Heroic Sacrifice
- The Hirogen invasion in the third book.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Inyx admitting that Erika Hernandez "made eternity worth contemplating".
Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy: Oh look. The Star Trek EU is doing genocide on a planetary scale. Again. But this time there's more of it. So chilling. Yawn.
Mary Sue: Erika Hernandez (who wanders through various types of it). Perhaps summed up best when, towards the end of the original three-book arc, someone says "We did it" and Picard smiles and answers with "No, Erika did it. We just went along for the ride." Yes, that's the actual line.
Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: To the limited extent that Ezri Dax was ever in The Scrappy Heap, she is well and truly out of it now.
Tear Jerker: The contents of Owen Paris' final message to Tom in Gods of Night.
Trapped by Mountain Lions: Troi's pregnancy subplot, at least if you just read the trilogy on its own. It may not be relevant to the thrust of Destiny's plot, but it's very relevant in terms of the ongoing Star Trek: Titan series, which is one of several brought together here.
Wangst: Riker and Troi are the worst examples of it. Picard's not much better.
What an Idiot: Riker and Troi, again. Both do a lot of wailing and rending of their garments about how they want a family but the genetic problems mean they can't. So, what, with all the horrible wars going on in the last decade, there are no orphans that could use a good home? While this is Truth In Television to some extent (some people just really want their own children), the fact that the two of them are always talking about "we want a family!" instead of "we want our own child!" but never even seem to consider adoption makes them look like idiots at best, and selfish jackasses that completely violate the whole "enlightened" perspective of the Federation at worst.
