- Only Kirk could have the balls to challenge what is supposed to be the Almighty.
- Spock's "pain" was Narm, but after McCoy's genuinely affecting experience of his father's death ("Release me..."), Kirk's refusal to share his pain is also affecting.
- Scotty is all kinds of awesome in this movie, first he avoids Sybok's Mind Control, then he breaks Kirk and the gang out of "jail", and then he manages to (partially) fix the transporter! To quote Kirk, "Mr. Scott, your amazing!"
- When McCoy sees "God" zap Kirk and Spock:
 |
"God": Do you doubt me? |
 |
- Sybok's last lines before his Heroic Sacrifice.
|
Sybok: I couldn't help but notice your pain." |
|
- This also deserves a bit of an explanation: For most of the film Sybok, who is Spock's Long-Lost Relative plays a bad ripoff of Jesus while searching for God In Space and treating the entire crew to Epiphany Therapy that makes him his loyal mooks. This makes this one bit deeply rewarding, since it turns Sybok's annoying Catch Phrase on its head when he discovers that "God" is simply a Sufficiently Advanced Alien.
- The climax of the film. Kirk is running from the fake God alien, only to have a Klingon warship appear in front of him and blast "God." Kirk expects the Klingons are about to kill him, only to be beamed on board to see that the gunner is... Spock. Spock just shot a Sufficiently Advanced Alien pretending to be God.
- General Korrd. 'Nuff said.
