** This one deserves a CMOA on a meta level as well, since Creator/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.

* Immediately on the heels of Kruge's execution of the ship's gunner whose "lucky shot" destroyed the ''USS Grissom'', when Kruge had told him to only target the engines so he could take prisoners, his first officer, Torg, speaks up. Kruge still has his disruptor out and whirls on Torg, warning him that if he says the wrong thing, he'll end up as the gunner. As coolly as a Vulcan, Torg simply reports that he is picking up the life signs of Saavik, David, and Spock on the Genesis Planet, theorizing (correctly) that they're the prisoners he seeks. While you'd expect Klingons to respond to a casual execution like this, given that its frequency among them earned [[KlingonPromotion a trope of its own,]] it's still taking some balls of solid neutronium to not even bat an eyelash.

** The fact that Kirk notices the cloaking distortion and anticipates and fires the instant they decloak before they can get a shot off. Yeah the automation gives out and leads to his loss but Kirk's battle instincts are still on point even though he likely hasn't fought against a Klingon ship in years. If Enterprise were fully crewed it would have won easily.
