* LikeRealityUnlessNoted: Khan and the first generation of augments was conceived and born circa 1969-1970. The text [[ShownTheirWork shows its work]] when referring to real life science techniques such as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), Restriction Enzymes, gene splicing, and sequencing in relation to Project Chrysalis. In reality, the first time scientists were able to read the genetic code was in 1977 with the development of Sanger Sequencing. PCR (a method of making Xerox copies of DNA) was developed in 1983, and restriction enzymes (used to create recombinant DNA) were actually discovered in 1970 with the first recombinant DNA created in 1972. Although the general technique of gel electrophoresis (a method for molecular analysis and separation using electrocurrent) has been around since the 1930s, it was first used on DNA in 1977. It has always been plausible in the ''Star Trek'' universe that many scientific methods actually exist earlier than publicly known due to the commonplace of ImportedAlienPhlebotinum and [[ETGaveUsWiFi E.T. giving us Wi-Fi]].

* {{Expy}}: The Paragon Colony is essentially the Genome Colony from TNG's "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E13TheMasterpieceSociety The Masterpiece Society]]" -- a colony of genetically-engineered humans in a DomedHometown on an otherwise uninhabitable planet, where every inhabitant is specifically designed to fill a particular societal role, including both leader and opposition. However, there are a few minor differences to make it clear that they are not actually the same colony.[[note]] Most likely because doing otherwise would have caused a ContinuitySnarl, since Picard and crew would have obviously known about the Genome Colony's existence in advance if they'd applied to join the Federation a century earlier.[[/note]] For one thing, they're based on the second planet in the system, not the fourth, and it has a name (Sycorax) rather than simply a designation. Also, their biosphere is itself a living plant-type organism which is beginning the process of terraforming the planet, whereas the Genome Colony's was implied to be constructed from synthetic materials.

* TookALevelInBadass: Roberta Lincoln. When seen in "Assignment: Earth", she was a somewhat ditzy, albeit [[InformedAttribute apparently intelligent]], young woman employed as a secretary, whose most impressive feat was hitting Gary Seven over the head with a box. However, after several years unter his tutelage -- not to mention [[NoodleIncident encounters]] with an assortment of interplanetary threats, ranging from [[NuclearNasty radioactive mutants]] to [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E26S6E1TimesArrow Devidians]] to ''the freakin' Borg'' -- she has become a highly capable agent and a full-fledged ActionGirl in her own right. Heck, her first scene has her beating the crap out of what is strongly implied to be ''[[Recap/StarTrekS2E14WolfInTheFold Red]]UsefulNotes/{{jac|kTheRipper}}'', although neither she nor Seven realize that he's anything more than a "run-of-the-mill mad slasher".
