References to other Trek series

[Alidar Jarok]

Maybe this has come up before, but I'm too lazy to do a search (if it was recent, please merge/close this thread). I remember before the movie came out, there was a claim that they'd reference the other trek shows. What references, if any, were there (note, not from the original series, that obviously doesn't count).

 

[Jeri]

Admiral Archer and his prize beagle (ENT) would be one.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

That's actually a kinda obvious one that I missed, when was that?

 

[SalvorHardin]

^ On Delta Vega, when Spock and Kirk meet Scotty

 

[UssGlenn]

after we meet Scotty he says he used Archer's beagle as a transporter test subject

other references:
DS9: Uhura orders a cardassian sunrise at the bar

 

[Jeri]

Yes, Scotty is just sure he's been exiled to that Starfleet outpost for using the beagle as a test subject.

A fun fact in the novelization: in the epilogue, a beagle appears on the transporter pad of the Enterprise.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

So wait, Archer is

a) still alive
b) has a beagle (probably not Porthos of course, but a newer one)
c) Scotty got his hands on it and put it through the transporter?

Simon Pegg's Scottish accent was a bit hard to understand, so I guess I missed this completely.

 

[M'Sharak]

As Kirk gets out of the escape pod on Delta Vega and begins to climb out of the impact crater in the ice, the duffel bag slung on his back has a stenciled description which includes "NCC-1701-D".

 

[Vigilance]

There a LOT of obvious call-outs to TWOK.

"I don't believe in no-win scenarios."

"Changed the conditions of the test."

"I have been and always shall be your friend."

Pike's paralysis is a call-out to The Menagerie.

Sulu fencing is a call-out to The Naked Time.

I think he didn't want TOS references. I don't know whether he wanted movie references.

I thought Kirk knocking his head in the shuttlecraft was a reference to the similar scene with Scotty in TFF.

 

[Jeri]

You know, I don't know if anybody but me noticed this, but the suit Sarek wore was made out of material reminiscent of the material in the Next Gen Romulan uniforms. It was kind of quilted in squares like the uniforms; Sarek's was a darker color.

The hitting the head one is OK, but it would be a bit pointless to point out the ones that are actually integrated into the plot because they're the same characters (Kobyashi Maru stuff being an obvious example).

 

[Possum]

The "Jellyfish" (where did that name come from?) has the same odd eggbeater look as the Vulcan ships from ENT. I saw that mentioned elsewhere or I'd have never known as I haven't seen many ENT episodes.

 

[CommodoreKong]

That's actually a kinda obvious one that I missed, when was that?

Yeah I missed that one too, I heard Scotty say he transported the admiral's dog but I missed the word Archer. I was pretty surprised I missed it when I read about it on this forum. Since I heard part of it the whole thing made so much more sense.

 

[-Brett-]

Future Spock's status as an ambassador is obviously a reference to his appearance in TNG.

It's the "ring" design that's familiar. The Vulcan ships in ENT mostly have a ring design. They are beautiful.

 

[Creedence]

At the end of the novel (and maybe the film, I can't recall), Kirk is awarded a commendation for original thinking for beating the Kobyashi Maru as he alluded to in Wrath of Khan.
