Spoilers Eastereggs, references, observations, nods – the LD collection

When Boilmer is in the tubes and the impulse engines start up, the whole plasma fire and hatch are most likely a reference to DS9: One Little Ship, when the runabout almost got vaporized the same way.

Also ENT Era.

 

Jorg as always pointing out all the background stuff most people probably wouldn't notice

One of the Shax's is wearing Moriarty's outfit from TNG

One of the Orions was wearing the Orion emblem from TAS

 

Anbo-jytsu
Denobulan face puffing
TAS Kzin
Ferengi whips
Tellarite blood is purple
"the power of math" from Disco (Tilly)

 

When did we originally find out, that Tellerite blood is purple?

 

I believe that it was Enterprise season 4, "United". But I could be mistaken.

 

The TOS Cookbook, 1974.

 

Discovery Season 2. in Reno's operating room on the Hiawatha.

 

The Area 51 in 1950s... wait, is that still top secret?

 

Prototype Saru with all the eyes was at the Starfleet ball! I think that's our first explicit Discovery reference in Lower Decks. Also I thought I saw a Gorn in the chase scene wearing a Discovery uniform but it might have been some other blue outfit, it went by so fast.

 

Another Quark's on the station, and he also sells model kits now
3D chess, tribbles, TOS tricorder, blinking rod thing, lirpa, bat'leth, mek'leth, TNG rifle, VOY rifle, Nomad top piece, WoK field jacket in the Mizarian store
Duplicating dooplers remind me of Mr. Meeseeks XD
Ceti Alpha IV is worse than V
Boims was stranded on Rubicun III
Some of the Data bubble bath bottles (opened by removing the head) might be Lores XD
There are Gorn, Lurians, a Benzite, Pike chair, Antedeans, and a Bolian hair salon on the station
The Cerritos model saucer is misaligned at a funny angle in 2 scenes
Buggies have unconnected wheels like in ST09
Several Ems from TAS are serving at the party
Captain Shelby
Saru concept (which I think was also a concept for one of the Kelvin films)
Pictures of a Bajoran solar sailing ship, Voyager, Alice alien, TOS Enterprise, salt vampire, TOS spacesuit, Ruk, Apollo, Arex, Talosians, and M'ress; models of the GoF, Phoenix, and planet killer
DJ Okona, still with his guidance module! XD

 

Plus the Data bubble baths copy the "emergency floatation device" gag from Insurrection.

 

How many Nasats did we see?

 

There are FOUR Nasats!!

 

Guidance module/boom box

A gold Discovery uniform being looked at by a Starfleet officer on the Starbase, and Alex Kurtzman in the Pike wheelchair in the chase scene.

 

Missed the Disco uni; will watch for it!

 

The invincible redshirts!
"Excelsior!"
Crimson force field
The Kzin briefly looked like the telepath from TAS
Padded uniforms like in early TNG
The slug screamed like the youtube goat
Prank-calling Armus, who is a skin of evil XD

 

The murder drones look a bit like echo papa 607
...that's all I found

 

The text on the alien computer is in Ba'ul.

 

Ah, TrekCore has been doing the canon connections at the bottom of each episode review this time, not separate articles. That's why I've missed them
(episode 8) after the review

Good ones:
TOS bioscan sound
T'Ana standing in the transporter bay all day in case anyone needed to be transported (like in the O'Brien cartoon)
The queen blowing on Boimy's face like she did with Data's arm
Mariner jumps over the tactical console like Picard in Yesterday's Enterprise
Some of the holo programs are episode titles
The Terran Earth is as in TOS, DS9 and ENT, not mirrored as in Disco
Mirror Boims has a very incomplete beard and shrieks like the guy at the end of the Body Snatchers remake
A hegh'bat knife
Wild west town with just facades like in SOTG
Borg interiors (including incubation chambers) use the TNG design, only darker like in FC
Borg shields are a combination of TNG and FC as well
Love Mankind graffiti as in Naked Time
Dom Stevens beats his sub Ransom with a Horga'hn
A Robin Hood-esque guy mentions there's a Q on the ship, and Jem'Hadar, all during a Klingon attack XD
The crystalline entity looks amazing!
The black hole could be the one from the intro, and it has an effect that is similar to the TMP wormhole and the Disco time vortex

Odd ones:
The Excelsior in the simulation has diagonal, straight pylons, instead of the right-angled ones
The simulated 24th century Empire still uses TOS-like uniforms and 23rd century agonizers
WoK uniforms have the FC badge
