* {{Zeerust}}: Played with. The production design is intentionally adopting elements of classic 1960s and 1970s Trek. The ''Enterprise'' is extremely 70s in its decor: cream and red with polymer appliances and recessed lighting. The control panels are almost as goofy and sparkly as the original. There are crisp OLED screens instead of 70s transparencies, but they [[TypesetInTheFuture kept the same font]] as the 1979 ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture''. But the CGI ''Enterprise'' exterior shots are quite modern.

* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: This actually serves as part of the plot of "Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow" [[spoiler:as the plan by the Romulans is to kill Khan Noonien-Singh, thereby preventing the Eugenics Wars from ever occurring and the constant struggles that strengthen humanity to help become a founding member of the Federation and become a massive thorn in their side in the first place.]] It's also discussed why ''this'' doesn't end up working in the long run as it is explained that [[spoiler:even when events are successfully erased in continuity from how they should of been, either other factions or ''time itself'' will correct the actions if the original place in the timeline can no longer logically exist, as explained when the Temporal Cold War forced the Eugenics Wars to be moved up several decades from the 90s rather than cease to exist altogether — only a full blown immutable paradox (such as killing Khan himself, a historically significant figure) can drastically alter the continuity of the universe in a way that timelines wildly diverge.]]

* MultiGenderedOutfit: In "[[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS1E07TheSereneSquall The Serene Squall]]", Dr. Aspen ([[spoiler:who is actually the SpacePirate captain "Angel"]]), played by non-binary actress Creator/JesseJamesKeitel, uses "they/them" pronouns and wears an embroidered black bodystocking and combat boots. They have a couple significant conversations with Spock about his being a HalfHumanHybrid, suggesting he view being half-Vulcan, half-human as a point on a spectrum instead of trying to fully be one or the other.
