Line 5:
Joining forces with some unsavory [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|Rubber Forehead]]... and face... [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|Aliens]] offering their <s>technology</s> friendship, [[The Federation]] decides that the [[Alien Non-Interference Clause|Prime Directive]] is optional so that they can relocate the new-agey [[Space Amish]] inhabitants of a paradise planet. After all, [[Utopia Justifies the Means]], right? The ''Enterprise'' crew uncovers the plot and rebels against Starfleet (hence the title) to save the day.
With bigger guns, the rekindling of the Riker/Troi romance, and a generally out-of-character original cast, the movie is a far cry from ''[[Star Trek:
----
=== Tropes seen in ''Insurrection'' include: ===
Line 31:
** Picard's [[Machine Empathy]]; in the scene where it comes up, he mentions that it was much more acute when he was younger.
** At one point Crusher notes that the Captain was quite a dancer, when he was '''younger'''.
** Once we get to the Ba'ku planet, there's the rekindling of the Riker/Troi romance and Worf's [[Call a Rabbit
* [[Fountain of Youth]]
* [[Freudian Couch]]
Line 49:
{{quote| '''Dougherty''': They are not indigenous to this world, they were ''never'' meant to be ''immortal!''}}
* [[Love Transcends Spacetime]]: Anij's ability to slow down time seems linked to how romantic it makes the moment.
* [[Ludd Was Right]]: The Federation are portrayed as the villains, using their advanced technology to bully peaceful agrarian settlers. [[Atop the Fourth Wall
* [[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."
Line 58:
* [[Obviously Evil]]
* [[Offstage Villainy]]: The library scene really goes out of its way to make the Son'a unlikeable, with records of conquering and enslaving worlds, drug dealing, and possessing illegal weapons. [[Horrible Judge of Character|It makes the Federation look really stupid to have ever turned to them.]]
** Especially since the drug they are mentioned to be dealing is often brought up in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
** 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.
Line 79:
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]
* [[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
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: Not while [[Patrick Stewart Speech|Picard yet breathes]], it doesn't!
** The tagline was ''The Battle For Paradise''.
