Line 66:
* [[Hero of Another Story]]: Captain Harriman, though this doesn't begin to become apparent until he overcomes his nervousness at having [[Famed in Story|Captain Kirk]] aboard and steps up as [[The Captain]].
* [[Humans Are Ugly]]: "Human females are so repulsive!"
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: This is the only member of the Trek franchise without a colon, probably because the title refers to generations of Star Trek casts.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Riker's "shoot once, get shot at 100 times" tactic of defending the ''Enterprise'' while trying to find a quick fix kill to the Klingons is stunning. The ''Enterprise'', even in the TV series, is shown to be capable of a volume of fire far greater than that which is displayed. He also never orders the shield frequency to changed, which would have given them a decisive advantage even when damaged. The novelization, at least, explains that the damage from the first attack prevented them from changing shield frequencies.
** This is made particularly egregious by the Klingons repeating Khan's tactics in ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]''; their initial salvo goes for the engineering deck, and they start shooting up the engines after that. A single throwaway line like Scotty's about main power failing would've been a sufficient hand-wave and consistent with what was shown on-screen.
