Line 69:
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|When Admiral Dougherty develops a sense of morality, Ru'afo kills him.}}
* [[Reed Richards Is Useless]]: The Ba'ku have discovered a planet with amazing healing/rejuvenating powers, which would surely help billions more, but keep it to themselves because... they believe a life without technology is better?
** Yes. Yes they do. And they don't "keep it to themselves", they just live there. They have no obligation to run around the galaxy going "HEY, MOVE TO OUR PLANET!"
* [[Series Continuity Error]]: Troi saying she's never kissed Riker while he had a beard. Number of times this happened in the series: ''four''. You'd think at least Frakes (who was also directing, remember) or Sirtis would point this out.
* [[Space Amish]]: the Ba'ku.
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]{{context}}
* [[The Needs of the Many]]: The last tropes you'd expect to be subverted in Star Trek. Picard chosing to help 600 Ba'ku when the technology studying the planet would bring could save literally billions.
** Especially since this was taking place at around the same time as [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|The Dominion War,]] where such advanced medical technology would have been especially useful in the war that the Federation ''was losing.''
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: Not while [[Patrick Stewart Speech|Picard yet breathes]], it doesn't!
** The tagline was ''The Battle For Paradise''.
* [[Villainy-Free Villain]]: With the sole exception of {{spoiler|killing Admiral Dougherty,}} Ru'afo really doesn't do ''anything'' but [[Wangst|complain and moan]] throughout the movie.
