This week has a grandchild of Zeus serving in starfleet. Similar ancestry to Mark McHenry
Ah! I saw the preview picture. Based on that it was a toss-up between Polluxian and Magna Roman.
How about Lower Decks 5x09 and the Sons of Star Trek comic, eh?

Hmm, possible reference to Shatner's The Return this week? When naming off all the various possibilities that could be behind the the fissures, William Boimler mentions "a Borgified Kirk."
I think that's a real stretch.
As I recall, Kirk was revived by the Borg, but he wasn't "Borgified," i.e. assimilated. Just because something puts "Borg" and "Kirk" together doesn't make it a reference to that specific thing that did the same, given that they're two of the most prominent and obvious things in Trek that someone could reference.
As a rule, the kneejerk tendency to assume that any vague similarity between two things is evidence deliberate imitation is getting it backward. Coincidental parallels are so unavoidable that creators actively try to avoid them (since nobody wants to be accused of unoriginality or plagiarism) yet still accidentally run afoul of them all the time despite our best efforts.
I also thought line may have been a sly nod.
I noticed a naming coincidence today.
In the Season 3 episode „Reflections“, the gang is looking at Starfleet officers on a PADD. One of these officers is Commander Saticoy.
In Star Trek: Coda, the USS Saticoy is a California-class ship active in 2387.

Maybe more a parallel than a coincidence. Saticoy is a community in Ventura County not far from LA. All California-class ships are named for California cities and towns, something that the authors of Coda surely knew; and it wouldn't surprise me if the writers or graphic artists of LD named a few characters the same way.
Probably just coincidental; I picked the name for the Saticoy from a list of Californian towns to follow along with the theme of Cali-class ship names in the show, and also because I liked how it rolls off the tongue... Although in early versions of my outline for The Ashes of Tomorrow, it was briefly going to be called the Oxnard...
