* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Averted, which leads to the death of himself and his boarding party when none of them realize that the computer is counting down to self destruct. The novelization states that he assumed that the computer was chiming the time, and chocked it up as an annoying human affectation.

* KindRestraints: In the novelization, the main reason why Uhura locks him in the closet. It was meant for his own protection and not to implicate him in the plot to steal the Enterprise. In fact, he even gets an apology from Uhura in the novelization before she flees to the Vulcan embassy. Uhura knows that "Mr. Adventure" would be [[LampshadeHanging publicly humiliated]], but it was better than being court-martialed.

And as noted above, he was originally going to appear in VI to testify against Kirk and Bones at their show trial.

* YouHaveFailedMe: Averted in his case as he's very careful to avoid the fate of his predecessor. When Kruge orders him to disable Enterprise (with a clear threat of what will happen if he also gets a "lucky shot" like the first guy) he understands his orders quite clearly and aims very carefully. It helps that unknown to him Enterprise is undermanned and running on a very precise automation system that fails at the slightest damage. He was actually about to keep firing until Kruge stops him.

However, without Kirk and crew being in exile on Vulcan at the start of the next film (and not having access to the Klingon Bird-of-Prey), it's likely that the events of that film would have turned out far worse for everyone involved.
