** Spock laying out that a human made it through the ritual also leads to him truly becoming aware of Amanda's own awesomeness - she is a human on Vulcan, doomed to failure by Vulcan standards before she even makes an attempt. Her chosen memory is of the day that Spock was accepted by other Vulcans, even as she continued to be dismissed by the Vulcan mothers, and makes explicit the difficulties that Amanda has faced to have her family on Vulcan, difficulties that she has stoically endured without having ever let on to her family.

** Not only that, the use of montage for Uhura's duties is typically done to show how exhausting the work is, which this certainly does, but instead of being overwhelmed, Uhura just stops for a moment, takes a breath to get herself back under control, and dives right back into it like the pro she is without hesitation. Uhura HAS GOT THIS.

* When Spock pretends he and Christine are having an affair to derail the hostage exchange that will ruin T'Pring's career, Christine immediately picks up what he's putting down and plays along, selling the story much more effectively than Spock could on his own. Even better, T'Pring worked out what was happening as well.

** What makes it even better is that Pasalk forcing Una to reveal that Pike knew and concealed that she was Illyrian is presented as an OhCrap moment: now Pike is on the chopping block next to Una! But Neera effortlessly repackages that as "a Captain's discretion," effectively lawyer-judoing the jerk's own argument into further proof that Una has every right to be in Starfleet.

* ''Star Trek'' finally tackles its first musical episode, and the cast ''kills it'' at their musical numbers. From ensemble pieces, to power ballads, and even Klingon K-Pop, everyone signs their heart out and makes it all the more memorable. As an added bonus, there's even an acapella cover to the title!

** All the numbers are great, covering a huge gammut of stylings. Spock's is one of the more notable, after Christine told him about leaving the ship and their relationship. It's almost a DarkReprise of Christine's number, with a pounding bassline, musically indicating what's often been stated: the alien power of Vulcan emotions, wrapped tightly in their mental discipline. While Spock's singing about the sorrow he feels and he and Christine being over, the music illustrates the rage beneath it. . . a familiar emotional milieu to anyone who's been dumped.
** La'an and Uhura's solo numbers (quite literally, in Uhura's case) are moving pieces of character development, La'an wanting break out of her shell and start connecting more with people, Uhura learning she has everything she needs to become a legendary Starfleet officer and starting to stand on her own.

* Among the many alien abductees on the planet are a group of Vulcans who get their hands on an eighteenth-century British warship that belonged to more abductees. When they find Pike and a group of allies cornered by antagonistic powers, they sail up for a bold GunshipRescue.
* Pike lectures the planet's wardens about restricting the development of any technology for recreational purposes, then demonstrates what he's talking about with a mechanical device that scatters the wardens.

* While her motives aren't exactly pure, Warden Lila Talley impresses everyone by riding over an enormous mountain range in eight hours to make it to the climax.
