Line 36:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Galatin. {{spoiler|Dougherty tries as well but Ru'afo kills him.}}
* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: The Ba'ku's planet.
* [[Human Alien]]: The Ba'ku, they look exactly like humans.
* [[Hypocrite]]: The Ba'ku's clothing looks nice for a race that doesn't believe in technology like a loom. Their crops benefit from an irrigation system, and that stone dam with a wheel and chain system can't possibly be technology. Also note that they don't seem all that ungrateful of being saved my medical technology when crushed by rocks.
** They're tools that need to be operated by hand, not machines. Big difference.
Line 51:
* [[The Magnificent Seven Samurai]]: Complete with "Seven to beam up." Hmm....
* [[Machine Empathy]]: Picard detects that the ship's torque sensors are ''slightly'' out of alignment just because "they don't sound right."
** {{spoiler|''[[Star Trek: Nemesis]]'' indicates that Picard was born with a rare genetic condition that gives him supersensitive hearing. Although treated in his youth to ensure that even the slightest of sounds don't cause him pain, it's entirely possible that Picard would retain extremely acute hearing (by most human standards) into adulthood.}}
* [[Mundane Utility]]: So its implied that all of the Ba'ku have developed the ability to significantly slow the passage of time. What is stopping them from using this to avoid being tagged by the seeker drones?
* [[Nightmare Face]]: The Son'a with that face-stretcher device. Okay, maybe that's not being fair to them; how about {{spoiler|''[[Cruel and Unusual Death|Admiral Dougherty with that face-stretcher device.]]''}}
Line 60:
** It's not outright stated they're Dominion allies until a later episode of ''Deep Space Nine''. So it's possible the Son'a just happened to make ketracel-white for other people besides the Dominion and after the events of ''Insurrection'' their falling out with the Federation gave them the final push to join forces.
*** What other people? Ketracel-white's sole purpose is to keep the Jem'Hadar healthy. It's never stated that it has uses for other people. It was created just for the Jem'Hadar. Though, I can get around this by saying maybe Ru'afo's group was not part of the Dominion alliance.
** In the [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine
* [[Off-the-Shelf FX]]: Riker's "manual steering column" is an off-the-shelf computer game joystick.
** Made [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] since in [[Star Trek Online]] you can use a joystick to pilot your starship, and if you own the exact same model of joystick...
** On the other hand, this is exactly the job joysticks were created to do. We don't mock real-world fighter pilots for using them.
*** That's because fighter aircraft is designed with joysticks in mind. In Star Trek, this is the first time we've seen one used. It looks so narmishly out of place.
**** Yet, years later, the NX-01 would be piloted by a joystick. I'm not even kidding.
* [[Perfect Pacifist People]]: The Ba'ku, whose leader even says "The moment we pick up a weapon, we become one of them."
Line 81:
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: Not while [[Patrick Stewart Speech|Picard yet breathes]], it doesn't!
** The tagline was ''The Battle For Paradise''.
* [[Villainy
