** The [[CrypticBackgroundReference Eugenics Wars]] are not explained very clearly, said to be connected to Earth's last great war but the date of 1996 eventually caused the chronology to separate the Eugenics Wars of the 1990's with WorldWarThree in the 2050's. Khan was said to be one of several dictators in that war, and [[ALighterShadeOfGrey comparatively more moderate]] than his genocidal counterparts. Khan's infamy as a TV and movie villain caused him to be upgraded to being the only notable figure in the conflict and at its' center. By ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' it affirms that there has been TimeTravel messing with Khan's originally stated time period and moves him closer to the 2040's but the broad events will still result in a CloseEnoughTimeline.

** Khan is described as a leader in the CrypticBackgroundReference of the Eugenics Wars and physically superior to any average man. Eugenics in general may be better understood as Survival of the Fittest, Selective Breeding and/or elimination of unwanted traits, thus Khan's abilities appear to be [[DesignerBabies natural from birth]] and the Enterprise crew express modest admiration to who Khan is and the era he was from. It wasn't until the [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]] episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E16DrBashirIPresume Doctor Bashir, I Presume]]" that affirm the Eugenics Wars was related to GeneticEngineeringInTheNewNuke and that Khan was basically a LegoGenetics science project, and that resulted in vague NoTranshumanismAllowed Federation laws (reiterated in some ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episodes). ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' then said that these laws were quite militant and Federation society in general had strong FantasticRacism towards augmentation of any kind.

* EveryoneKnowsMorse: The Botany Bay is transmitting the letters "CQ", which Uhura recognizes immediately. To be fair, she ''is'' the Communications Officer, so knowing morse code is her job. However, ''Kirk'' appears to recognize Morse as well and even shuts Uhura down as she's translating it, saying "we're hearing it, Lieutenant" as if the entire ''bridge'' understands.
