Trek movies calling back to other Trek movies

Personally, I'm not troubled by the Kirk El Capitan climb. Number one, a 55 year-old guy in the 23rd century would likely be more able compared to someone of our time. Number two, he didn't make it. If he had ascended to the peak, arms raised in victory while a camera-wielding helicopter filmed him while flying around him in a circle, yeah, that would've been pretty silly (though I can imagine Jerry Goldsmith would've provided excellent music to the moment, though ). As it is, he slipped and fell. And McCoy chided him about performing crazy stunts. So all in all, I can buy it as presented.

I always think of UK film critic Mark Kermode's description of Trek V as "the one you know Shatner directed, because it starts with bloated, 58-year-old Kirk, looking like he'd have trouble running a couple of laps in the studio car park, free climbing El Capitan, and ends with him squaring up to God."

Also, it's a movie. If you have your hero climbing a mountain, make it an impressive one.

You can't really argue against that quote can you.

In Nemesis, Admiral Janeway calls back to the prior TNG movies when she says Picard gets "all the interesting assignments"

I must have missed those movies.

How about the deleted GEN scene of an even older Kirk orbital skydiving?

Star Trek 2009 recalls Kirk orbital skydiving.

Janeway has lower standards of "interesting" than most other people.

Admiral Janeway might be one for sarcasm seeing she outranks Picard.

First Contact has Picard and Crusher discuss the self-destruct sequence. "Oh, there are plenty of other letters in the alphabet." From the first shot and LaForge's comment about the shakedown up until that point of the movie, the viewer was concerned about all the current action. But then Picard and Crusher imply that little reminder that two other Enterprises with letters were both in Generations. (I think only LaForge inthe beginning and Crusher near the end call her the E-E, kind of bookending the movie with the name. Everyone else just says Enterprise.)

Blatant reference, but a callback via dialogue nonetheless.

If one so chooses, it could also be taken on a bigger picture, that the original Enterprise was destroyed in TSFS and then replaced with the E-A in TVH -- but I think that's a stretch.
