** The novelization states the Federation planned to clone one or more infant humpback whales from previously collected humpback cell samples that George and Gracie could raise to adulthood in order to provide a basis to repopulate the species. It also explains that the reason this was never done before was because the cloned infants would need adults to teach them how to survive in the wild.

** Relations between the Feds and the Klingons are left in bad shape because of the Genesis Incidentt. The Klingons vow there will be no peace as long as Kirk lives, setting up Klaa's pursuit of Kirk in the next film (and the eventual resolution of the antagonism with the Khitomer Confrence in VI).

* SimpleSolutionWontWork: When Spock deduces that the probe is seeking humpback whales to communicate with, Kirk suggests trying to answer it with simulated whalesong based on recordings, which would certainly be much easier than traveling back through time to try and find living instances of a long-extinct species. Spock points out that since they have no idea about the ''language'' of whalesong, they'd effectively be speaking gibberish.

Even if not gibberish, if the response doesn't match the question ("How are you doing on your planet?" "This is nice weather." "Hello? Can you hear me?" "I will go look for food now."), the probe could become, for lack of a better term, angry about the attempted deception and make things even worse[[/note]].
