** At the end of "To Boldly Go, Part II", [=McCoy=] announces to Kirk that he is resigning from Starfleet, listing amongst his reasons that he wants to spend some time with his daughter, whom he hasn't seen during the entire ''Enterprise'''s mission. This a nod to the fact [=McCoy=]'s daughter, while part of his backstory in the production notes and was loosely planned to appear in the ''Original Series'' at some point, never actually made it all the way to an on-screen appearance or even getting a mentioning during the show's run.

The team's first output were a series of three short vignettes that were released from July 31 to November 30, 2012.

Two more episodes per year were released in 2015 and 2016, with the final four episodes released in 2017. The series is planned to end at eleven episodes, per WordOfGod.

* CannonFodder: When Security Chief Sulu says that there might be casualties trying to capture the Spock of the mirror universe, Kirk tells him to "Take Chekov and put him out front."

'''Spock:''' ''([[OCCIsSeriousBusiness actually outraged]])'' [[CallBack Vulcans never lie!]]\\

* AbusiveParents: Usdi from "Come Not Between the Dragons" took refuge on the ''Enterprise'' because, as it turns out, [[spoiler: its father is this, and it fled in fear.]] And then, Ensign Taylor [[spoiler: reveals her father was this as well,]] which is why she and Usdi bonded in the first place.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Used extensively in "What Ships Are For".

* ExistentialHorror: "Still Treads the Shadow" sees Kirk meeting a very aged duplicate of himself who was created via the NegativeSpaceWedgie which shallowed up the ''Defiant'' and ended up stranded alone on the other side of the anomaly for a little over two centuries. Kirk is extremely disturbed by the whole thing, not least from seeing how far beyond said duplicate went over the DespairEventHorizon during his entrapment as he [[GoMadFromTheIsolation the isolation caused his mad and hope to slip]], noticing how it was just sheer stroke of luck that kept him from suffering the same fate.

** "To Boldly Go, Part 2" has Kirk meeting with a Starfleet admiral, who has models of various ships from the fleet standing on a shelf in his office. These ships includes the [[Film/StarTrek USS Kelvin]] and even the [[Series/StarTrekDiscovery USS Discovery]].

* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: "The White Iris" sees Kirk being haunted by resurging memories of several women he loved, but died before he could come to any closure to their relationships or even bid them a proper goodbye, including [[Recap/StarTrekS3E19RequiemForMethuselah Rayna Kapec]], [[Recap/StarTrekS1E28TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever Edith Keeler]], [[Recap/StarTrekS3E3TheParadiseSyndrome Miramanee]], and an unnamed girlfriend from his time aboard the Farragut.

* MadDoctor[=/=]TortureTechnician: The mirror universe [=McCoy=] is willing, even gleeful, to use his "patients" as guinea pigs.

** The intro of "Pilgrim of Eternity" has Scotty proudly showing Kirk the new holodeck technology him and a team of other leading Starfleet engineers are working on. It should be great... [[HolodeckMalfunction once they've worked the bugs out]].

* TortureTechnician: Mirror [=McCoy=] is Mirror Kirk's head interrogator, and since they live in the Mirror Universe, torture is an inevitable part of any interrogation. And, well, it is made obvious that Mirror [=McCoy=] gets quite a kick out of inflicting pain on others.

* GrandFinale: By going beyond the rather [[AntiClimax Anti-Climatic]] and infamously sexist "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E24TurnaboutIntruder Turnabout Intruder]]" which capped off the ''Original Series'' back in the day in what be described as a somewhat lacking fashion at best, the series tries its hand at offering a properly grand send-off to the original show with the "To Boldly Go" two parter, which is set as a {{Bookend}} to "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E3WhereNoManHasGoneBefore Where No Man Has Gone Before]]" and sees the original ''Enterprise'' crew facing off against a threat to all known galactic civilisation and finally complete their five year mission, before ending on more low-key moment of Kirk taking one last stroll on the bridge of the ''Enterprise''. On top of that it even sets the stage for ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture''.

* VillainBall: In "Fairest of Them All" Mirror Kirk orders the Halkans' civilisation destroyed via bombardment to make them an example of what happens to those who dare to resist the Terran Empire. While the pitiless attack wipes out the Halkans, it also destroys the dilithium crystals on the planet that the ''Enterprise'' needed in the first place, something Mirror Kirk first realises afterwards.

* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Relative to the original series, the character of Scotty (though played by a different actor) ''finally'' makes the opening titles, rectifying a longstanding fan criticism of Creator/JamesDoohan's low billing relative to his character's prominence. He even gets the AndStarring designation!
