It’s a reference to the Maginot Line, a series of military fortifications the French built along their border prior to WWII to prevent Germany from invading. Spolier: didn’t work.

About as subtle as naming the ship the Maginot.

I don’t think Kirk was feeling remorse, exactly. Or not just remorse. More like identification. They started out as explorers, the best and the brightest. Kirk was contemplating how many hard command decisions like the one he just made turned them into the scavengers.

Allow me to make an argument for space navies: Space Battleship Yamato and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. (they don't make any sense but they sure are fun)

I’ll never forget the first time Gandhi threatened me with nukes.

A few months? Maybe not even that. This was back in the mid-80s when I was in high school and lived 1 town over from a Complete Strategist.

The opening credits to Enter the Void.

D&D 5e converted to D&D 5.5e The Giant Badger Great Escape.

Civilization VII (why did I break my 'wait 2 expansions' rule?). BG3 (finally). Clair Obscur (that opening!).
