Added DiffLines:

** Tuvok admits that Archer's paranoia regarding the Vulcans did have a small bit of merit, as it's a matter of historical record that the Vulcans held back certain information that the humans could have used to build a working Warp 5 Engine much earlier. Braxton dismisses this, saying that it's not set in stone what would have happened.

* NeverLiveItDown: Seven of Nine, as a result of dating the parent of a small child, inadvertently calls out Tom Paris for swearing during the chapter based on ''The Killing Game.'' Fast forward to the chapter based on ''Shattered,'' over three years later in-universe, and future adult Naomi (makes sense in context) manages to bring it up.

--> Tom Paris: What do resources matter in a virtual reality? You just need to be able to convince the people there that they can operate these things, and they'll be able to walk all over any Borg attackers. [[CheshireCatGrin Literally]].

Added DiffLines:

* OneSteveLimit: At one point, the EMH encounters an alien who is named Phlox, like the Denobulan that they encountered among Archer's crew. He even notes how strange it is.
** [[spoiler: In the finale, the EMH asks that they call [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] by his real name, as he also goes by "The Doctor," as his name. As Seven points out, though, "The Doctor," is also the only name they knew that individual by. Tom suggests they just call the alien "The Gallifreyan," as that is his race.]]

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalHeroism: Played straight with the Holograms of the Hirogen, who despite taking similar actions, are not responsible for what their breakaway Lokirrim holograms have done, and are willing to listen to reason. In canon, their leader, Iden, was practically a cult leader, who mind-raped the Doctor and refused to listen to anyone but himself. Here, he and the crew of ''Voyager'' are capable of establishing a Holographic Homeworld where they can live in peace. [[spoiler: Then the trope is averted partially, as Iden and Weiss reveal at the end of the chapter that they're just waiting for ''Voyager'' to leave so they can get back to planning to exterminate the Hirogen. It's only partially averted, as Iden has acknowledged now that while they are planning to genocide the Hirogen, there are organics who aren't bad, and they don't need to purge the whole galaxy of anything made of meat. That sounds bad, but it is a step up from one-note ax-crazy.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ExternalRetcon: [[spoiler: Because the story is in continuity with the Doctor Who crossover, this story explains that the reason that the Borg get [[AdaptationalWimp progressively less impressive and sillier]] after Wolf 359 is that as one last "screw you," the Cybermen planted a computer virus in the Borg systems that slowly makes them dumber and less efficient.]]
** The reason no one remembers the events of the show "Star Trek: Enterprise," is that the NX-01 suffered a problem and... well, even the Time Agents involved aren't sure of exactly what happened, since there was a small explosion and then the NX-01's empty hull was found in the Delta Quadrant by Voyager. Eventually, it's revealed that Time Agents (later) would steal the ship and crew, and return all but Phlox and Archer to their respective time with a little tampered memory. Thus the events of that series never happened, and history wouldn't remember Jonathan Archer other than as a brief footnote.


Added DiffLines:

* IMeantToDoThat: Seven's opinion of the Borg when she meets the Queen for the first time is that this trope is something the Queen is overusing. She's very disappointed, since she was used to the type of Borg who were, to put it mildly, ''competent.''


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: Jonathan Archer's paranoia is portrayed as a very bad thing that would eventually prevent the formation of the Federation. This is true, but it's hard to not feel that it's at least somewhat justified when he learns that three of his crew are actually time travelling secret agents from the future who came back specifically to sabotage his ship, one of whom is an alien cyborg related to classified alien corpses found on earth. It's easy see where he's coming from when he has a full-on mental breakdown later on.


Added DiffLines:

* TemptingFate: After dealing with Archer, Janeway comments how she's glad she won't have to deal with another insane captain for a while. The next chapter starts off with Captain Ransom and the Equinox sending a distress call...

Seven of Nine, Naomi's step-mom at this point (Step-Mama Bear?) naturally does not respond politely when Neelix suggests they try to fix the memorial beaming the false memories of the crew committing war crimes into their heads instead of shutting it down.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Captain Janeway verbally rips the Borg Queen a new one in the chapter based on ''Unimatrix Zero Part 2,'' including comparing the (now former) greatest threat the Federation had ever faced to "a cat falling off the back of the couch" and acting like it meant to do that. This prompts laughter from the only other non-Vulcan member of the away team. The Borg Queen demonstrates just how far she's fallen thanks to [[spoiler: the Cyberman virus]] that she's rendered speechless by Janeway's verbal smackdown.
