* AuthorsSavingThrow: ''Buried Age'' features a few of these regarding some of the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness in ''Next Generation'', such as defining Worf's earlier role in the show as "Bridge Watch Officer" (essentially encouraging him to take responsibility for various roles on the bridge to give him a wider variety of experience as opposed to his existing focus on security) and explaining Data's more emotional appearance early on as him exaggerating his emotional capacity to try and blend in.

** Picard comes to after being exposed to a BrownNote to find Guinan standing over him. They're both completely naked. Picard's only comment? First time in thirty years he's seen Guinan not wearing a hat.

* {{Anvilicious}}: In "The Buried Age", Guinan is there to help make the point about the Carnellians absolutely and unmistakably clear, as she did in "The Measure of a Man".



* HarsherInHindsight: In ''The Buried Age'', Giriaenn pretty much says that if Humans don't make the same mistake her species made, they would make some other mistake that would destroy all intelligent life in the galaxy. Season 2 of Series/StarTrekDiscovery shows a possible future where Section 31's threat assessment AI went rouge and did just that and more.

** The example from ''Catalyst of Sorrows'' mentioned down in the tearjerker section? Some years later a part of the ''Enterprise'' relaunch novels would confirm that yes, that did indeed happen.

* The Manraloth have triggered an empathic weapon that basically cripples all life that it touches with what amounts to a severely debilitating sensory overload. The two people who stand against it? Guinan, whose connection to the Nexus is cited as helping her keep her sense of self... and Tasha Yar, in full {{Determinator}} mode.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments:
** Picard effectively leading Data to the point of asking (rather than being ordered) to join his mission - it's the first time Data has made any effort to actually REQUEST a better assignment, having only ever accepted orders. His anger over the treatment that Data had been effectively relegated to a glorified filing clerk isn't that shabby either.
** Deanna has just been assigned by Admiral Hansen to covertly use her empathic abilities to judge Picard's mental state and see if he's becoming obsessed with the Manraloth, over her repeated and strenuous objections about the ethical violation. Hansen introduces her to Picard, and the moment that she and Picard are alone in a turbolift, she immediately comes clean to Picard, also acknowledging that she is disobeying a direct order and that she would turn around and tell Hansen exactly what she's done. Instead of sending her back to Hansen, Picard accepts her on his crew, clearly impressed by her honesty, forthrightness, and morality.



** The added context to Picard and Janeway's relationship, where she was one of Picard's crew in the investigation that discovers Ariel, to the point where he ends up being disappointed he can't tap her for a later crew because she's serving on one of her canonical assignments. Gives an extra layer of warmth and friendship to their interaction in ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'',

** As ''The Buried Age'' goes on, we effectively see how every member of the senior staff of the Enterprise-D is assembled, how they impressed Picard enough to make him want to bring them to his next assignment. Even though many of these were preestablished within canon, actually getting to see them play out is still the heartstring tugger.
