* FriendOrIdolDecision: In "Worlds Collide", Admiral Kirk tells Dr. [=McCoy=] that they can't save the M-Class planet about to be destroyed by a 25 mile long asteroid because doing so would violate the Prime Directive. [=McCoy=] points out that they are not talking about the planet's natural development but its complete devastation. Bearing in mind that the asteroid is similar to the one that struck Earth and killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, Kirk counters that humanity would have never evolved if an alien race had intervened and saved the dinosaurs. However, [=McCoy=] is more concerned with lifeforms living in the present than purely hypothetical future ones. This argument eventually wins Kirk over but it turns out that the creatures are able to save themselves without the ''Enterprise'''s help. Kirk finds it to be a humbling experience while [=McCoy=] thinks that it is a good thing that humans get a kick in their rear end every now and then.

He would eventually become captain of the U.S.S. ''Excelsior'' in ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''.

''Reliant'' as its first officer, Admiral Kirk accepts a teaching position at Starfleet Academy, the ''Enterprise'' becomes a training vessel with Spock as its captain and Kirk hopes to form a relationship with his son David Marcus.

** Also in "Renewal", Admiral Kirk considers retiring to his family farm in Iowa. ''Film/StarTrekGenerations'' revealed that Kirk eventually did so but returned to Starfleet prior to the events of ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''. ''Generations'' also featured a version of the farm created by the Nexus from Kirk's memories.

** In "Worlds Collide", Dr. [=McCoy=] reminds Kirk that the ''Enterprise'' saved Miramanee's planet from being destroyed by an asteroid in "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E3TheParadiseSyndrome The Paradise Syndrome]]" and asks him why they can't do the same thing in the current situation.
** When Saavik comments that she is aware that a mind meld is a deeply personal experience in "Worlds Collide", Spock admits that he has never melded with his father Sarek, as was revealed in the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E8Unification2 Unification, Part 2]]".
** Also in "Worlds Collide", after Kirk notes that he can almost hear Spock's voice in his absence, Dr. [=McCoy=] remarks that he can't think of anything worse than having Spock's voice in his head. ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'' revealed that Spock transferred his ''katra'' to [=McCoy=] before his HeroicSacrifice in ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Worlds Collide" refers to both the asteroid heading towards an M-Class planet and Saavik's difficulties in learning to become truly Vulcan because of her half-Romulan heritage.
* ImmediateSequel: The beginning of "Renewal" recreates the final scene of ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' and carries on immediately from there. The Klingon High Council has sent three battle cruisers, including the ''Ravager'' and the ''Deathcry'', to Earth in order to obtain a full report on the intruder cloud generated by V'Ger which destroyed the ''Amar'' and two other ships. Furthermore, Admiral Nogura has recalled Kirk to Earth so that he can resume his position as Chief of Starfleet Operations now that the V'Ger Crisis has been resolved.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: In "Renewal", Krell kills his helmsman, Kross, after he reminds him that they were ordered to travel to Earth and meet with the Federation Council. This serves as a stark reminder to the rest of the crew not to offer any unsolicited opinions about how to run the ship. Nevertheless, Kross' replacement points out that they are still expected on Earth after Krell fails to capture the ''Enterprise'' and orders him to return to Klingon space. As he did with Kross, Krell kills the second helmsman. He then instructs the remaining members of the bridge crew to find him a helmsman who can keep his mouth shut.
* MindOverMatter: In "Worlds Collide", the creatures living on a newly discovered M-Class planet gather together and use their collective mental energy to divert the asteroid that was about to strike their planet and wipe them all out. As they seemingly lack higher intelligence, Admiral Kirk attributes it to a herd mentality.
* MoralDilemma: In "Worlds Collide", Admiral Kirk tells Dr. [=McCoy=] that they can't save the M-Class planet about to be destroyed by a 25 mile long asteroid because doing so would violate the Prime Directive. [=McCoy=] points out that they are not talking about the planet's natural development but its complete devastation. Bearing in mind that the asteroid is similar to the one that struck Earth and killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, Kirk counters that humanity would have never evolved if an alien race had intervened and saved the dinosaurs.

* SuperBreedingProgram: In "Worlds Collide", it is revealed that Saavik and the other half-Vulcan, half-Romulan children that Spock found in the ruins of an abandoned Romulan colony almost a year earlier were part of a secret Romulan project to breed hybrids using captured Vulcans. The Romulans hoped to improve their race through selective breeding by exploiting the subtle genetic differences that had developed between Romulans and Vulcans since the two races diverged 2,000 years earlier.

''Star Trek: Early Voyages'' was a five issue comic book miniseries published by Creator/MarvelComics. It was written by Glenn Greenberg.
The miniseries is an {{Interquel}} which takes place between the events of ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' and ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''. It depicted the second five year mission of the U.S.S. ''Enterprise'' (NCC-1701) under the command of Admiral James T. Kirk from 2273 to 2278. Each issue is set approximately one year after the previous one.

!!The series provides examples of:
* AsYouKnow: In "Worlds Collide", Spock finds it necessary to remind Saavik of her life story, how they met and everything that has happened to her in the meantime.
* ContinuityNod:
** In "Renewal", the commander of the Klingon battle cruiser who attempts to capture the ''Enterprise'' is Krell, who previously provided the Villagers, one of the factions on Neural, with flintlocks to fight the Hill People in "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E19APrivateLittleWar A Private Little War]]".
** Also in "Renewal", Admiral Kirk considers retiring to his family farm in Iowa. ''Film/StarTrekGenerations'' revealed that Kirk eventually did so but returned to Starfleet prior to the events of ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''. ''Generations'' also featured a version of the farm created by the Nexus from Kirk's memories.
** Again in "Renewal", both Kirk and Krell refer to the Organian Peace Treaty, signed as a result of the Organians' intervention in "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E26ErrandOfMercy Errand of Mercy]]" and first mentioned in "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles The Trouble with Tribbles]]". Krell relishes the idea of abandoning the treaty and engaging the Federation in open warfare but Kirk is concerned that the Organians seem to be no longer willing to enforce it.
** When Krell threatens to attack the ''Enterprise'' in "Renewal", Kirk tells him that a new superweapon called the Omegatron, which has the capability of destroying Krell's ship and the other two battle cruisers under his command, was installed aboard the ''Enterprise'' during its refit. This is essentially the same as the corbomite bluff that he used successfully against Balok in "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E10TheCorbomiteManeuver The Corbomite Maneuver]]" and ten Romulan birds-of-prey in "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E12TheDeadlyYears The Deadly Years]]". However, Krell does not believe him as he is of the opinion that the Federation is too weak and soft to use such a device, especially since it has never made use of the Romulan cloaking device that the ''Enterprise'' stole in "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E2TheEnterpriseIncident The Enterprise Incident]]". Neverthless, the ''Enterprise'' manages to penetrate Krell's shields and disable his ship by channeling all of its phaser energy through the warp engines. Will Decker previously explained that the phaser systems had been redesigned in this fashion in ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture''.
** In "Worlds Collide", Dr. [=McCoy=] reminds Kirk that the ''Enterprise'' saved Miramanee's planet from being destroyed by an asteroid in "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E3TheParadiseSyndrome The Paradise Syndrome]]" and asks him why they can't do the same thing in the current situation.
** When Saavik comments that she is aware that a mind meld is a deeply personal experience in "Worlds Collide", Spock admits that he has never melded with his father Sarek, as was revealed in the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E8Unification2 Unification, Part 2]]".
** Also in "Worlds Collide", after Kirk notes that he can almost hear Spock's voice in his absence, Dr. [=McCoy=] remarks that he can't think of anything worse than having Spock's voice in his head. ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'' revealed that Spock transferred his ''katra'' to [=McCoy=] before his HeroicSacrifice in ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Worlds Collide" refers to both the asteroid heading towards an M-Class planet and Saavik's difficulties in learning to become truly Vulcan because of her half-Romulan heritage.
* ImmediateSequel: The beginning of "Renewal" recreates the final scene of ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' and carries on immediately from there. The Klingon High Council has sent three battle cruisers, including the ''Ravager'' and the ''Deathcry'', to Earth in order to obtain a full report on the intruder cloud generated by V'Ger which destroyed the ''Amar'' and two other ships. Furthermore, Admiral Nogura has recalled Kirk to Earth so that he can resume his position as Chief of Starfleet Operations now that the V'Ger Crisis has been resolved.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: In "Renewal", Krell kills his helmsman, Kross, after he reminds him that they were ordered to travel to Earth and meet with the Federation Council. This serves as a stark reminder to the rest of the crew not to offer any unsolicited opinions about how to run the ship. Nevertheless, Kross' replacement points out that they are still expected on Earth after Krell fails to capture the ''Enterprise'' and orders him to return to Klingon space. As he did with Kross, Krell kills the second helmsman. He then instructs the remaining members of the bridge crew to find him a helmsman who can keep his mouth shut.
* MindOverMatter: In "Worlds Collide", the creatures living on a newly discovered M-Class planet gather together and use their collective mental energy to divert the asteroid that was about to strike their planet and wipe them all out. As they seemingly lack higher intelligence, Admiral Kirk attributes it to a herd mentality.
* MoralDilemma: In "Worlds Collide", Admiral Kirk tells Dr. [=McCoy=] that they can't save the M-Class planet about to be destroyed by a 25 mile long asteroid because doing so would violate the Prime Directive. [=McCoy=] points out that they are not talking about the planet's natural development but its complete devastation. Bearing in mind that the asteroid is similar to the one that struck Earth and killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, Kirk counters that humanity would have never evolved if an alien race had intervened and saved the dinosaurs. However, [=McCoy=] is more concerned with lifeforms living in the present than purely hypothetical future ones. This argument eventually wins Kirk over but it turns out that the creatures are able to save themselves without the ''Enterprise'''s help. Kirk finds it to be a humbling experience while [=McCoy=] thinks that it is a good thing that humans get a kick in their rear end every now and then.
* SuperBreedingProgram: In "Worlds Collide", it is revealed that Saavik and the other half-Vulcan, half-Romulan children that Spock found in the ruins of an abandoned Romulan colony almost a year earlier were part of a secret Romulan project to breed hybrids using captured Vulcans. The Romulans hoped to improve their race through selective breeding by exploiting the subtle genetic differences that had developed between Romulans and Vulcans since the two races diverged 2,000 years earlier.
