* Moreover, the simpler equivalent term "One terahertz" would be pretty esoteric to 1979 audiences, but would be recognizable with a decade and common within two. By 2273, it would probably be second nature.

*** Indeed, part of Kirk's briefing to the Federation Council is shown in the opening of ''Star Trek IV'', showing the destruction of the ''Enterprise'' and discussing the Genesis project.

* Addressed on the main page. The original idea was that there were other ships in range, but ''Enterprise'' was the most advanced ship Starfleet could send, with the most experienced crew, and after seeing the brand-new Klingon ships prove useless they decided it had to be ''Enterprise''.
Added DiffLines:
** Spock has never been shown genuinely moving his ears, so I would assume it was meant figuratively, while also allowing the reader to recollect that Spock has unusual ears (Spock is often the butt of "ear" jokes).

*** According to diagrams of the Movie ''Enterprise'' created during production, the part of the engineering room that goes up is going up into the "neck" that connects the engineering hull with the saucer section, and the intermix shaft ends in the big crystal on the impulse drive. You can see the windows of the rec-room on the back of the saucer section, on the starboard side. It's actually a pretty good match, size-wise. The shuttle bay is very large, but if it takes up most of the back side of the engineering hull, again, as it does on diagrams, it fits.

** Deltans are a very sensual race. AnythingThatMoves doesn't even being to cover it. Apparently sex for them is both extremely culturally significant and also transmit telepathic information between the members involved, sending anything from speech to memories or pain relief. However, with a human or other species is dangerous because 1. the Deltan may demand for more sex than the human can supply, and 2. the telepathy [[YourHeadAsplode may go bad for your brain]]. Plus, like the silk moth on earth, Deltans emit "pheromones" that cause humans to go insanely horny. (We are not told what effect Deltan women have on gay men or Lesbians.) Much of that had to be cut out of the film because, well, G rating.

->''Kirk saw Spock cock an ear as if half-understanding.'' (from the novelization)
Would you or would you not read this as implying Spock's ears can move, like a cat's or a dog's? It seems just this side of ambiguous. You might speak of round-eared human types figuratively cocking their ears, ie., tilting their heads to one side. And obviously his ears don't do that on screen. But for the purposes of this passage, are we to read it as Spock genuinely moving his ears, a la ExpressiveEars?

Wrath of Khan did references Motion Picture - phasers and warp drives
Added DiffLines:
** Wrath of Khan references it obliquely. In Kirk's first scuffle with Khan, the Reliant has to withdraw because the Enterprise damaged "our photon control" (meaning that it couldn't fire torpedos) "and our warp drive", meaning that it couldn't fire phasers, either, because the refit that Kirk insisted on being undone on the Enterprise (warp drive augments phasers and phasers will not work without it) was clearly still in place on the Reliant.
