• Actor Allusion: Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock, pins down Kirk by the neck, eerily Sylar-like.
• Ascended Fanon: Uhura's Fanon first name, "Nyota", is confirmed. Nichelle Nichols, who played the role during the original series run, was actually the first person to suggest the name "Nyota" for Uhura. This was known by fans before it ever appeared in novels.
  • The lack of a first name for Uhura is a Mythology Gag for much of the movie, until Spock calls her "Nyota", Kirk notes "Ah, so that's her name..." and Spock archly replies "I have no comment on the subject."
• Dawson Casting: Most of the cast is semi-plausibly close to the ages of recent Starfleet Academy graduates. However, John Cho is a 37-year-old playing the 21-year-old Sulu. Karl Urban is also 37, though he's closer to his character's official age of 30. And Zoe Saldana (Uhura) is 31.
