* [[More Hero Than Thou]]: In "The Empath" when aliens offer Kirk the choice of sacrificing McCoy or Spock, McCoy takes out Kirk with drugs. Spock is glad; since this leaves him in command, he can make the sacrifice himself. McCoy proceeds to drug him as well and sacrifice himself. |

* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: Don't expect to ever hear Sulu say "''Oh, my''." That's [[George Takei]]'s personal [[Catch Phrase]]. Sulu himself was the only regular who lacked a memorable [[Catch Phrase]] or [[Verbal Tic]], one of the reasons he didn't show up in too many parodies (and when he did, he was usually the [[Straight Man]]). More recently, given Takei's predilection for [[Adam Westing]], parodies of Sulu are basically parodies of Takei (including the [[Camp Gay]] antics - see below). |
