I’m really starting to enjoy Star Trek: Lower Decks. This week’s episode, “Veritas” was particularly fun. Because I have too much time on my hands, I decided to count the obscure references to previous Star Trek Episodes. This isn’t just fan service, this is a whole fan buffet:
- Alien courtroom: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
- Roga Danar: TNG The Hunted
- Khan: TOS Space Seed
- Vineyards: TNG Brothers
- Soul Food Restaurants: DS9 Homefront
- Romulan Bird of Prey: TOS Balance of Terror
- Fan Dance: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
- Mark Twain with a gun: TNG Time’s Arrow
- Tasha & The Garbage Bag: TNG Skin of Evil
- Gorn: TOS Arena
- Remans: Star Trek Nemesis
- Q the Judge: TNG Encounter at Farpoint
- Salt Vampire: TOS Mantrap
- Giant Spock: TAS The Infinite Vulcan
- Scottish Ghost Lamp: TNG Sub Rosa
- Drumhead: TNG The Drumhead
- voice actor Kenneth Mitchell: DIS Battle at the Binary Stars
That’s a lot for a 21-minute episode. Can’t wait for next week! 🙂
