** The {{novelization}} by J.M. Dillard adds considerable backstory to Sybok and his mother, and explains that "God" had telepathically sent Sybok a formula for configuring a starship's deflector shields to penetrate the Barrier. After Sybok orders Scotty to set up the ''Enterprise''[='=]s shields in this way, Klaa's Bird-of-Prey copies the same shield configuration in order to follow the ''Enterprise''.

** Not having the same "this must have slapstick" restriction the movie did, the book does this genuinely, having Kirk confirmed as DeathSeeker after... [[TraumaCongaLine everything]] (where the film could only imply it), more angst with Sybok and Spock, Uhura being a StepfordSmiler even before being brainwashed, and Sulu's pain including a terrorist attack as a child.

* VillainBall: ''You staged all this to get your hands on my ship?'' If Starfleet had sent literally any other ship with a working transporter then Sybok's plan would have failed immediately as the hostages would have just been beamed aboard the moment they entered orbit. The plan itself doesn't even seem all that necessary anyway as with his mind manipulation powers he could easily have found a far more direct way to get hold of a ship than this.
