** It's noted under TheCastShowoff, but it needs reiterating: Kirk has his horse ''walk sideways'' to join Picard. Anyone not suitably impressed has never ridden one. It's not something that horses naturally do, nor are apt to want to do unless a very knowledgeable individual is at the helm.

** She also takes the helm during the fight itself. Considering the advantage the Duras sisters had of being able to shoot right through their shields, much of her focus had to be on evasive maneuvers, and Troi manages to keep the ship moving to the point that, while they did manage to take the ship down, it still came AFTER the Duras sisters were out of the picture.

* The ''Enterprise''-D shows off why she was the Flagship pretty damn well in the movie. She was always shown to be tough as nails in the series, taking on and surviving shots no other ship had a hope in hell of coming through on the other side anywhere near intact. In the movie, it takes some of the trickiest moves Soran and the Duras sisters have just to have a fighting chance against her. And she ''still'' takes a beating no other ship would have been able to ''and'' manages to keep almost the sheer entirety of her crew alive despite the crash. She may have just been a ship, an inanimate object at best, but she reminded us of why people were always actively shown feeling hope and relief anytime she came to the rescue in the series. She went out like a badass before her time...but she kept the people who called her home safe. Nobody could have asked more of the ''Enterprise''-D than that, and she delivered in ''spades'' when it counted. Like [=McCoy=] said at ''Encounter at Farpoint'': "You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home." Damned if he wasn't right.

Despite clearly out of his depth, Harriman does continually make an active effort, not just his crew but Harriman himself, leading by example to find a solution and do something, to make sure that the Enterprise isn't just there to passively watch as people die.
