![]() ![]() Iconian Empire- This one is such a deep cut, that, when it comes to actual visual canon, we’ve not even really seen the Iconian Empire.Does DISCO love referencing Voyager or what?! This is the formal name for the “Caretaker” species from Voyager. Metrons– These were the god-like beings who forced Kirk to fight the Gorn on Cestus III in the TOS episode “Arena.”.Although the DMA kind of looks like V’ger from The Motion Picture, nobody mentions V’ger,and V’ger continues not to get the love it needs.īut, Vance does mention the following four groups If someone asks you if you are a space god, you say…yes! In trying to figure out various candidates as to who could have constructed the DMA, Admiral Vance throws out some very deep cuts to aliens who might have had the super-advanced tech to cook up this artificially constructed space wave of doom. Vance name-drops a lot of god-like alien species The other ship, which is almost certainly from Ni’Var, is called “the T’Pau.” This references the character T’Pau, first introduced in the TOS episode “Amok Time,” and later appeared in the Enterprise three-parter which began with “The Forge.” In the TNG episode “Unification I,” Geordi and Riker are also trying to analyze the wreckage of a Vulcan ship called the T’Pau, proving that this is one Easter egg Star Trek loves naming Vulcan ships after the lady who officiated Spock’s wedding. Interestingly, although the Voyager-J is a 32nd Century Intrepid Class when this style of ship was incorporated into the game Star Trek: Online, a variant class was called “Janeway-class.” The T’Pau ![]() Instead, it looks like it’s one of the new Constitution-class ships, kind of like the USS Armstrong, which was referenced in Episode 4.

The first is the USS Janeway, an obvious reference to Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager, and more recently, Star Trek: Prodigy. Right away, the episode hits us with a few starship names that sound familiar. ![]() ![]() Here’s every Easter egg and big reference we spotted in Star Trek: DiscoverySeason 4, Episode 5… USS Janeway Last week, Tilly got her “Galileo Seven” moment, but this week, in “The Examples,” DISCO tackles a classic Trek ethical dilemma.Īs Burnham and Book navigate the morality of saving prisoners on a doomed colony, “The Examples” front-loads the episode with a ton of callbacks and Easter eggs to the rest of the franchise. if given more screen time, I believe everyone would see what I am witnessing.This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 5.įollowing in the footsteps of Season 3, the first batch of episodes in Star Trek: DiscoverySeason 4 do two things: The overall story of the season-long arc is explored, but, the episode itself presents a standalone story in the classic Star Trek tradition. this show still gives off a wonderful orchestration of unique flare within its fast-paced production. I believe with a little more freedom, we would see an outstanding performance. this star trek attacks the political and emotional standpoints, along with social development and honesty. I especially like how the new captain had to earn her chair rather than being appointed. the demographics and storyline are more aboard than the others and it shows a different take on the relationship within the crew, with their evolution with each other. I have been a star trek fan since the first one. ![]()
