      when Chekov is in the Botany Bay cargo carriers/shelters and looks at the bookshelf, there’s a very conspicuously-placed copy of Moby Dick sitting there.

      As Kahn is activating the Genesis device he directly quotes Ahab from chapter 135, starting with “to the last…”

      Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.

        Reading the text of Moby Dick? Okay, cool.

        Hearing it performed by Ricardo Montalban? Some of the best goddamn poetic prose ever.
