Line 46:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Soran is quite savvy about villainy in general and mocks Picard's attempts at talking him down.
{{quote|'''Soran''': I know why you're here. You're not entirely confident you can shoot down my probe, so you've come to dissuade me from my horrific plan. Good luck.}}
* [[The Dark Side Will Make You Forget]]: Soran. "Nice try."▼
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Much of the content is on the darker side of the sort the show would have had, with a larger focus on death and loss. But more literally, the entire movie is shot with much darker lighting than the show was, due to the realization that the sets that looked just fine on television screens now looked like cheap plastic with visible seams on the big screen. They used less lighting to hide the flaws until the sets could be replaced for the next movie.
▲* [[The Dark Side Will Make You Forget]]: Soran. "Nice try."
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Arguably Troi and Crusher.
** More so in Crusher's case, as she barely did anything in the movie, while Troi's role was proportionately about as large as she got in most TNG episodes.
Line 65:
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: A deleted opening scene had Kirk skydiving, echoing his mid-life crisis in ''[[Star Trek V: The Final Frontier|Star Trek V the Final Frontier]]''. Chekov reminds him that they’re scheduled to look over the new Enterprise. Kirk states emphatically, "I’m not going," and of course this would have led to the bottle smashing on the ship and Kirk arriving.
* [[Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress]]: Worf has a Gravitational Cognizance moment after Riker says, "Computer, remove the plank."
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Done as only [[Patrick Stewart]] can deliver. After receiving word of his brother and nephew's deaths, he keeps a stiff upper lip for much of the movie, but in the immediate aftermath is very curt with his senior staff and delegates to Riker many of the duties regarding the observatory rescue operation he would normally handle himself. A typical [[Red Shirt]] might not notice anything wrong with Picard other than maybe he's having a bad day ''(which is both true and a massive understatement)'', but Riker and the others gather some inkling that something is very wrong. It eventually gets even worse when Soran says something that calls back to the event of their deaths ("Time is the fire in which we all burn.").
* [[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!"
* [[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.
