The station was seen in “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” during Mariner’s flashback to her time on the USS Quito, which we now learn was one of her five previous ship postings. Speaking of DS9, Mainer revealed that she once served on station Deep Space 9 at the same time as Worf, which would have to be at least six years earlier. But the references in the signage aren’t done yet: A club headliner includes the Zebulon Sisters, who performed their famous Chu Chu dance on the USS Cerritos in the Lower Decks episode “ Terminal Provocations.” In another DS9 reference, Qualor II has a Quark’s Bar, which appears to be a franchise now as there is also one on Freecloud as seen in Star Trek: Picard. Also performing was Vic Fontaine, the hologram lounge singer first installed by Dr.
Tendi and Mariner visit Qualor II, first seen in the two-part TNG episode “ Unification.” As the pair enters the city, you can see a promotion for the four-armed piano player Amarie, whom Riker met in that episode. Unlike Picard, they escape without getting knifed through the heart. Her wishes are answered in the form of Nausicaans, a nd just like a young Picard in that episode, she ends up getting into a bar knife fight with the aliens over a game of dom-jot. One of the destinations visited by Tendi and Mariner was Starbase Earhart, named for real-world aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart who appeared in the Voyager‘s “ The 37s.” But Starbase Earhart is also The location of a pivotal moment in Jean-Luc Picard’s life, as seen in the TNG episode “ Tapestry.”Īt Starbase Earhart, when Mariner needs money, she looks for “the biggest, dumbest guys” in the bar. Of course, Voyager didn’t get all the love in the episode this is Lower Decks, after all, so there had to be some for Star Trek: The Next Generation. As he takes on Boimler, Paris proclaims: “This is how we kick ass in the Delta quadrant!” When Boimler accidentally falls into the bridge completely spikey-haired and disheveled, Paris jumps into action, mistaking him for a Kazon, Voyager’s primary villain in the early seasons.
The bridge crew had fun with Tom, joking with him to be careful not to get them lost in the Delta Quadrant, the primary location for Voyager. In addition to playing a plate, the real Tom Paris was visiting the USS Cerritos on his “handshake tour” to boost morale around the fleet. Boimler also hummed part of Jerry Goldsmith’s theme to Star Trek: Voyager, officially making it canon in-universe.

Later Jet jokes with Boimler that he can help get him into a turbolift by carrying him “across the threshold.”īoimler even used the real-world official acronym “VOY”-to save time!-while talking about the USS Voyager and his collection of collectible plates featuring the full bridge crew “from Janeway all the way down to Kim.” Mariner later jokes, “Did Chakotay sign your bowl?” referencing the ship’s first officer.
Mariner snarked back asking if Paris was “still a salamander,” referring to the notorious episode “ Threshold” when Paris broke the warp 10 barrier and de-evolved. But when Boimler learned that Paris himself was coming aboard the Cerritos, the Starfleet fanboy rattled off some of Tom’s accomplishments, including his holodeck programs Fair Haven and Captain Proton. The return of Star Trek: Voyager’s Robert Duncan McNeill to voice Tom Paris was telegraphed by the show a month ago in both the Comic-Con trailer and the announcement of a Tom Paris commemorative plate.
In some cases the references are clear, with others it may just be our Trek interpretations art is in the eye of the beholder. We have already recapped and reviewed “We’ll Always Have Tom Paris” and discussed it on the All Access Star Trek podcast now we take a deep dive into all the Easter eggs that caught our eyes. As indicated by the title, the third episode of the second season of Star Trek: Lower Decks brought in a legacy Voyager character, but the references went well beyond the Delta Quadrant.
