* LeVar Burton was in the running for director on this film, but Paramount went over his head and installed Stuart Baird, who repeatedly called him "Laverne" and was under the impression that Geordi was an alien ("[[UnforunateImplications Why? Because he's black?]]"). Stuart Baird hasn't directed another film since ''Nemesis'' was released, and Chuck points out that Burton in on the board of the Director's Guild of America. [[LaserGuidedKarma Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.]].

* The buggy scene and the compared opening driving scene of ''Film/StarTrek2009'', both set to "Cotton-Eyed Joe" by the Rednex.

'''Spock:''' [[QuoteSwearUnquote Double dumbass on you?]]\\

* Oh, and the name for Reboot Khan: Khaanderbatch.

* Chuck turns Creator/GilbertAndSullivan into a running gag, adds a car lock sound effect to the special tricorder Worf uses to subdue an out-of-control Data, makes reference to a "Turnip of Mass Destruction", has Riker playing Pac-man, comments on how the planet can make Geordi grow new eyes but no hair for Picard, and totally rips into the so-called perfect Ba'ku, to the point of calling them [[OurElvesAreBetter Elves]].

-->'''Chuck:''' Anyway, I suppose as we see Kirk head off, it's a good time to comment on how the updated ship is an improvement, despite overdoing the beige a little bit. They've clearly gone out of their way with all the stuff to not have that sixties era feel to it. Instead, be a timeless piece that-- ''([=McCoy=] shows up on the transporter dressed in what can best be described as a [[Music/TheBeeGees Bee Gees]] ensemble)'' [[FlatWhat The hell]]? ''(disco music plays)'' I'm not sure, this might be Grizzly Adams, and he seems to have [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk the headpiece to the staff of Ra]] around his neck.

'''J.J. Abrams:''' ...You, sir, are getting a motherfucking ''raise!''

'''J.J. Abrams:''' You, sir, are getting a motherfucking raise!

--->'''Alternative Kirk:''' Hey! Hey, you know how you brought up my dead dad? [[MotorMouth How do you like it? Huh? How do you like it? Dead mom! Huh? Huh? Dead mom! Dead mom! Huh, does that bother you? Does that bother you? Dead mom's not touching you!]] Huh-Oh, what was that Dr. Seuss book he wrote about your mom? ''One Bitch, Two Bitch, Dead Bitch, Blue Bitch'', wasn't that it? ''[laughs]'' Hey, Spock, you know what? [[YourMom Yo momma's so dead]], the only thing that's going down on her now ''ARE THE WORMS!''

** This leads to an even funnier scene later on when Chuck examines Creator/NicholasMeyer's criticism of ''Into Darkness'' -- specifically the observation that Kirk's death scene is a ripoff of Spock's death scene from ''Wrath of Khan'' and adds almost nothing beyond Spock's howl of "[[ChewingTheScenery KHAAAAAAAAAN]]." Realizing that Orci is now being criticized by someone who actually ''has'' written for the Star Trek movies, Chuck jokingly assumes that any competition between the two writers would end in a draw: Meyer wrote [[Film/TheDayAfter a film that convinced a sitting president to change his national policy]], and Orci wrote a one-season show about a soccer player who's also a secret agent. [[SarcasmMode Same thing, right?]]

(''disco music plays'') I'm not sure, this might be Grizzly Adams, and he seems to have [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk the headpiece to the staff of Ra]] around his neck.

* Oh, and the name for Reboot!Khan: Khaanderbatch.

* Chuck notes Sisko's absence in the film and points out that according to the stardates, Sisko at the time was in the Badlands hunting the Maquis. he then jokes that the Borg had to have planned this deliberately:

* When the frequent point of Starfleet not being a military organization, Chuck points out the fact that groups like NASA don't arm their space shuttles, and observes that Starfleet isn't military in the same way that UsefulNotes/Donald Trump isn't white.

* From the First Impressions video, Chuck mentions that everyone gets to do something and promptly lists off a bunch of normal things and then ending with [=McCoy=]'s. [[spoiler: ''Necromancy.'']]

** "So yeah, [[StatusQuoIsGod Kirk's a captain again]]! [[TenMinuteRetirement That was a short-lived emotion, wasn't it?]]"
