* NightmareFuel: John Doe's appearance when he's first found by the ''Enterprise'' away team. More immediately apparent than the loss of his left arm is that he's received extreme facial trauma, ''with his brain exposed and skin ripped away from his cheek, exposing his back teeth.'' One wonders how that bit of makeup SFX made it past Paramount censors...
** Possibly because of the low quality of the original TV-standard recording, as remasters show the trauma on his face more clearly.

** The scene is rather long, but at least it includes a decent example of ShownTheirWork, using a downloaded star chart and the pulsars shown within to trace John Doe's ship back to its destination. (Pulsars have a very stable "flash" frequency, which makes them useful for triangulating positions in space. The ''Pioneer'' and ''Voyager'' probes included a map that depicted Earth's location relative to over a dozen pulsars.)

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: For some, this episode is oozing religious references. It helps this episode is called ''Transfigurations.''

* MoralEventHorizon: If Sunad hadn't already crossed it for wanting to kill John Doe (and possibly having already killed his comrades) for supposedly being a threat, then trying to murder everyone on the ''Enterprise'' definitely puts him over the edge.

* {{Padding}}: The two-minute scene of Picard and Data trying to determine where exactly John Doe came from is one of the more notorious TechnoBabble scenes in the show's history, with the two doing nothing but sitting on the bridge and spewing out meaningless jargon.

The HD remaster ''really'' doesn't help, turning what was originally a hit-or-miss effect on first transmission into a thousand-yard miss.
