* TheReveal of the ''Excelsior''. Her first time out of the gate might've been an EpicFail, but she would go on to be a vital part of the Trekiverse, not to mention one of Starfleet's most utilized designs.

* Scotty getting promoted to the rank of Captain ''of Engineering''. Sure, other non-command division people in the various series eventually became captains, but they all did it by getting command of a starship. Scotty is instead promoted because he's just that badass of an engineer.

** This one deserves a CMOA on a meta level as well, since GeorgeTakei was opposed to the scene where Sulu is called 'Tiny'. It wasn't until he saw the finished print that he finally admitted that the scene was one of Sulu's finest moments.
* Uhura's part in the plan - she takes a posting at an out of the way transporter station, paired with an obnoxious young officer, then, when Kirk and company enter, she pulls a phaser on him and makes him get in the closet.
** Like the above instance with George Takei, Nichelle Nichols was initially upset at how little she had in the script until she actually read the part and loved what she got to do with that little.
** Given the time and circumstances in which the original TV show existed, Uhura was intrinsically awesome just by being an indispensable crew member on the bridge who happened to be a black woman. Whoopi Goldberg cites seeing Uhura on TV as a life-changing moment for her - and that was undoubtedly echoed in the minds of millions of other young people at the time. Giving her a bad-ass action moment here may have been long overdue, but it comes as no surprise that she's more than capable of handling herself.
