* TimeyWimeyBall: "In Harm's Way" shows an alternate time-line where the Doomsday Weapon (from the original series episode "The Doomsday Weapon") was sent back through time, where it destroyed the Enterprise under command of Christopher Pike and proceeded to multiply and wreak havoc throughout the galaxy. Years later, Kirk is in command of the USS Farragut (with a Klingon first officer), and is summoned by Spock to the planet Gateway(home of the Guardian of Forever) in order to lead a mission into the past to destroy the Doomsday Machine before it could destroy Pike's Enterprise and threaten all life throughout the galaxy. Added to the mix later on are Admiral Kirk and Mr. Spock from 10 years later, attempting to avert the accident that left Pike a vegetable.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In Kitumba, the bridge crew is speculating as to the state of the Klingon Empire in 100 years' time. Bones comments that he's glad he won't be around to see it; prompting the camera to linger on the four ''Enterprise'' crewmembers who will ''indeed'' make appearances in about 100 years' time during the [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]]-era: Bones ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E1EncounterAtFarpoint Encounter at Farpoint]]"), Spock ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E7Unification1 Unification]]"), Scotty ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E4Relics Relics]]"), and Kirk (''Film/StarTrekGenerations'').

James Cawley plays the role of Captain James Kirk in what's supposed to be the fourth year of the Enterprise's original five-year mission. Starting with "Mind-Sifter", Brian Gross has taken over the role of Kirk.

To date, eleven episodes have been released - "Come What May" (the pilot episode) "In Harm's Way", "To Serve All My Days", "World Enough and Time", "Blood and Fire" (a two-part episode written by original series scribe David Gerrold), "Enemy: Starfleet!", "The Child" and "Kitumba" (both adapted from scripts written for the original Star Trek: Phase II series, the former of which became ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture''.), "Mind-Sifter", and "The Holiest Thing". As the series has been discontinued mid-production, the episodes "Bread and Savagery" and "The Protracted Man" are in limbo.

* BuryYourGays: Unfortunately, in "Blood and Fire". Kirk's redshirt nephew Peter is deeply in love with medical tech Alex Freeman, and the two plan to marry. (Everyone charmingly takes this for granted.) [[spoiler: Alex ends up the last person alive on a doomed research ship, killing himself seconds before the Regulan bloodworms get to him.]] This was probably supposed to be reminiscent of Robert Tomlinson and Angela Martine in the TOS episode "Balance of Terror".
** It's also because the episode is based on a script David Gerrold wrote for ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' that [[GayPanic kept getting punted into the wastebasket]]. For when the episode was originally envisioned, having gay characters in a relationship would be revolutionary, even if one of them died at the end. For the 21st century, well...
* TheBusCameBack: LIEUTENANT Rand is on the bridge of the Enterprise, prompting Kirk to record "The more things change, the more they remain the same."

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: The actor playing [=McCoy=] makes no effort to mimic Deforrest Kelley's signature drawl. The guy playing Scotty at least [[OohMeAccentsSlipping tries]].

* RippleEffectProofMemory: The fan episode "In Harm's Way" treads similar ground as the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The City on the Edge of Forever"; history is altered such that the Federation is fighting a losing war against a fleet of Doomsday Machines, and Kirk and his crew are stationed aboard the USS ''Farragut'', with a Klingon first officer. Only Spock, who was engaged in studying the Guardian of Forever when the change took place, remembers the way things are "supposed" to be.

* YearOutsideHourInside: "World Enough And Time" has Sulu and a RedShirt specialist transported to another dimension while the Enterprise was trying to beam them out of the Romulan ship inside a multidimensional spatial anomaly that they are trapped in. Sulu and the specialist apparently spent years inside that dimension during which he had fathered a daughter through her, which explains why he appears on the Enterprise as an older man (played by the character's original actor George Takei).

* LiteraryAllusionTitle: "World Enough And Time" is from the first line of "To His Coy Mistress", a poem by Andrew Marvell: "Had we but world enough, and time, this coyness, lady, were no crime."

* {{Expy}}: Ensign Isel for [[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture Ilia]], due to being set before the original Phase II would have been (Bizarrely, though, she's also Deltan, but has a full head of hair)

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In Kitumba, the bridge crew is speculating as to the state of the Klingon Empire in 100 years' time. Bones comments that he's glad he won't be around to see it; prompting the camera to linger on the four ''Enterprise'' crewmembers who will ''indeed'' make appearances in about 100 years during the [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]]-era: Bones, ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E1EncounterAtFarpoint Encounter at Farpoint]]"), Spock ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E7Unification1 Unification]]"), Scotty ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E4Relics Relics]]"), and Kirk (''Film/StarTrekGenerations'').

Bones comments that he's glad he won't be around to see it; prompting the camera to linger on the four ''Enterprise'' crewmembers who will ''indeed'' make appearances in about 100 years during the [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]-era: Bones, ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E1EncounterAtFarpoint Encounter at Farpoint]]"), Spock ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E7Unification1 Unification]]"), Scotty ("[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E4Relics Relics]]"), and Kirk (''Film/StarTrekGenerations'').

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In Kitumba, the bridge crew is speculating as to the state of the Klingon Empire in 100 years' time. Bones comments that he's glad he won't be around to see it; prompting a reaction shot of Kirk and Spock since Bones will indeed be alive in [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E1EncounterAtFarpoint Encounter at Farpoint]]. (incidentally, Spock's longevity carries him through and Kirk makes a brief [=TNG=] appearance courtesy of the Nexus) Could also be seen as a form of [[{{Futureshadowing}} futureshadowing]].

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: The actor playing McCoy makes no effort to mimic Deforrest Kelley's signature drawl. The guy playing Scotty at least [[OohMeAccentsSlipping tries]].

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In Kitumba, the bridge crew is speculating as to the state of the Klingon Empire in 100 years' time. Bones comments that he's glad he won't be around to see it; prompting a reaction shot of the ''other'' two characters on the bridge who will be alive in the [=TNG=] era. Could also be seen as a form of [[{{Futureshadowing}} futureshadowing]].

Four short vignettes - "Center Seat", "No Win Scenario", "1701 Pennsylvania Ave" and "Going Boldy" (which introduces a new actor for Kirk) - have also been released.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In Kirtumba, the bridge crew is speculating as to the state of the Klingon Empire in 100 years' time. Bones comments that he's glad he won't be around to see it; prompting a reaction shot of the ''other'' two characters on the bridge who will be alive in the [=TNG=] era.

** Subverted in "Blood and Fire" when Kirk asks Bones to solve a deadly disease that's baffled doctors for a century. Before McCoy even opens his mouth, Kirk says "I know, I know, you're a doctor, not a miracle worker."

* RecycledScript: "The Child" was an episode of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]] that was itself recycled from the original Phase II concept. As stated above, "Blood And Fire" was also originally written for TNG, but was never produced. Several episodes in the planning stages are also based on rejected Original Series and Phase II stories.
