Please let me know if this seemingly subtle scene comparison is long-known intended fact:
TUC may have an accidental series bookend (as well as loose callback) to Kirk's first filmed story ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"), and the scene is where Gary Mitchell mocks to Kirk about how Kirk cannot see him, just like Chang had in TUC. The main difference being Mitchell was telepathically throwing his voice (after going through a barrier of which the ship had gong through later and nobody developed powers) and Chang was in a cloaked ship prototype that, go fig, never went anywhere in any spinoff show (the technology was never perfected.) The other difference is that Kirk was never friends with Chang.
If not, then it's a fantastic little nod to Kirk's story without making it a heavyhanded bit of twaddle.
