Engisn Mariner makes her debut in the series loaded on Romulan Whiskey, making fun of Boimler for recording a "Captain's log" in his downtime. This is the first time we encounter this particular beverage, but it's an obvious offshoot of the traditional RomulanAle, which has a long and storied history as an illegal alcoholic in the Federation. Romul...
Mariner accidentally takes a chunk out of Ensign Boimler's leg with an old rusty Bat'leth she finds on Douglas Station, as she drunkenly screams about demanding honor. The Bat'leth is a traditional Klingon weapon, most closely associated with Star Trek: The Next Generation'sWorf, who had a Bat'leth prominently displayed in his quarters and took on ...
From the musical cues to the opening credits' choice of bright blue font, the show is an aesthetic sequel to TNG, while also serving as an actual sequel, as it takes place two years after Star Trek: Nemesis, the final installment in the TNGfilm series. Those aesthetic choices make the show seems more authentically Star Trek than an irreverent comed...
In the opening credits, a massive battle is shown to be taking place between a handful of Borg cubes and a fleet of Romulan warbirds...which the Cerritos promptly retreats from. The designs of the Borg cubes and Romulan warbirds are lifted directly from Star Trek: The Next Generation, another nice piece of connective tissue to what came before.
An unnamed ensign is seen sporting the VISOR that Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge wore for seven seasons on TNG. Born blind, the VISOR allowed Geordi not only to see, but to process information visually that normal eyes couldn't. He'd eventually ditch the visor for ocular implants in the proceeding TNGfilms, but those were never quite as iconic...
Mariner uses a version of the all-terrain vehicle to deliver farming equipment to some local natives. The Argo was first glimpsed in Star Trek: Nemesis, when Captain Picard infamously blasted around an alien planet in it, with Worf stationed on a gun turret. It was an immediately unpopular choice for the buttoned-up Picard, but makes more sense wit...
After he gets her out of trouble, Mariner tells Boimler she's going to be his cha'DIch, which is a Klingon term for a sort of protective warrior that defends the honor of a fellow Klingon. After his brother Kurn was injured in the classic TNGepisode "Sins of the Father," Picard became Worf's cha'DIch, a role that brought the two closer than ever be...
As Mariner runs down a litany of Star Trek references, she mentions the Genesis device, which was the technology developed for incredibly fast terraforming in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and would also play a role in the resurrection of Spock in the next film, Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, which also gets a nod from Mariner.
"Space Whales" is a reference to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, where Kirk and company have to time travel to 1980's San Fransisco to recover a pair of Humpback Whales, which are extinct in the 23rd century and the only species able to answer a probe that threatens all life on Earth. That movie was the first in the franchise to lean hard on the inh...
Mariner mentions Sulu being a "sword guy," which is a reference to the Star Trek: The Original Series episode"The Naked Time," where an inhibition-lowering infection brought out the swashbuckler in the Enterprise's beloved helmsman. Sulu also showed off his sword skills in the first Kelvin timeline film, and it's become an iconic aspect of the char...
