#StarTrek #Picard #EasterEggs
Right away, this debut episode beams in a double Easter egg with a font style and specific text on the screen with the phrase “In the 25th Century…” This font is reminiscent of the onscreen text at the beginning of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which began with “In the 23rd Century…” This aesthetic callback isn’t just superficial either. Because, as we’ll see, this episode has other similarities to The Wrath of Khan.
[CLIP: Wrath of Khan opening, “In the 23rd Century…”]
As we get our first scene, we’re hit with two musical Easter eggs back-to-back; we briefly hear a snippet of Jerry Goldsmith’s overture from Star Trek: First Contact, [clip] and then, as we see the SS Eleos surrounded by enemy ships, we get th e 1941 song “I Don’t Want to Set the World On Fire,” from the Ink Spots. This intro, complete with a nebula and a golden oldie is very similar to the very beginning the season premiere of Picard, Season 1’s “Remembrance,” which opened with very similar shots set to the Bing Crosby version of “Blue Skies.”
But the Ink Spots have an even deeper connection to Next Gen nostalgia. In 1991, Brent Spiner released an album of standards called Ol’ Yellow Eyes is back. On the track, “It’s a Sin To Tell a Lie,” Spiner was joined by four backup singers called “The Sun Spots,” who were Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Patrick Stewart, and LeVar Burton. So, The Ink Spots singing at the start of Picard Season 3, could be interpreted as foreshadowing the reunion of the TNG crew, or maybe, that Brent Spiner might sing later in the season? Or is that wishful thinking?
[CLIP, Data singing Blue Skies in Nemesis]
Before we see Beverly Crusher, we’re shown a slew of objects that should remind us of the good doctor, including her flowers, from “Cause and Effect,” her pearls from “The Big Goodbye,” as well as two drama masks, reminding us of Bev’s love of playwriting and the theater, which cropped up in the episodes “The Nth Degree,” “Disaster,” “Frame of Mind,” and “A Fistful of Datas.” In the latter episode, it was kinda implied that Bev’s play, “Something For Breakfast,” was probably a play about her having breakfast with Captain Picard.
[Clip: Bev saying “Something For Breakfast” IN TNG]
We also get a very deep cut here with an award that says “Cor Caroli V, Medical Away Team, Honorary Citizens.” This references a mission of the Enterprise-D from TNG, which we NEVER ACTUALLY saw. In the episode “Allegiance,” Picard mentions that the Enterprise’s medical relief mission to Cor Caroli V had been classified, which, at the time, allowed him to realize that Cadet Mitena Haro was an imposter. [CLIP: Picard saying “Starfleet has classified the Cor Caroli V plague…]
“Allegiance” also featured a Jean-Luc imposter on the Enterprise-D, who made romantic moves on Beverly.

What did you think of the premiere?
Thank you so much for reviewing Star Trek. I know you mostly do Marvel, so thank you once again sir.
Crash bandicoot.i mean laforge.
Pretty good episode...Really liked it
So glad your covering this!
@@robertw31968 I was gonna say the same thing aha
At the end of the credits, we see a dedication: "For Annie" I assume it is for Annie Wersching, who played the Borg Queen in season two who passed away recently.
Obviously.
I was VERY sad to hear of her passing. I watched her portrayal of a Rittenhouse agent in Timeless Season 2 and am re-watching Picard 2 to see her work. Such a shame. 💔😢
Terrible loss - great actor
Yep. Sad she passed away.
Yep
I don't think Picard got the DS's confused. I think he didn't know DS4 was shutdown for a year, and Seven was covering for him.
This is exactly how I read the situation too. Which is why Seven started to be suspicious of them.
Honestly points towards how fast this stunt was planned, he didn't have the time to study up on the area.
He's put of the loop
Agreed.
I agree. That is what i thought when watching.
I think Raffi's Intelligence contact is Worf, based on the "You are a warrior" line
Of course it's worf these writers are no geniuses. In fact they are stupidest as hell.
thats already been spoiled a few weeks back
Absolutely. It was pretty great when I saw that.
Agreed.
I thought that also.
As much as I love the references, the Easter eggs, our old friends from TNG, it’s in fact the music that gets me teary eyed. Every time a musical sequence borrows from ST history, it literally warms my heart. That’s the power music holds over us.
The golden Enterprise model (8:17) was also from First Contact, when he yells out "The line must be drawn HERE", and soon Lily Sloane replies, "you broke your ship".
And he crawled upon the whales great hump.
Little ships
Worf “little”
If you look closely at the fleet museum part you will see that voyager is there. Along with the enterprise A and the excelsior. And the pioneer.
Glad to see voyager, after the shuttle Easter egg in prodigy I was worried they’d gotten rid of it too soon.
I guess it got all its delta quadrant stuff studied and reverse engineered before they decided it was too much effort to bring up to new star fleet standards.
Yep! I picked up on that too! 1701A, such a gorgeous ship!
There was a reference to a constitution class being in the fleet museum in a TNG episode
There was also a disc shaped one just as the screen was blurred out. Potentially the saucer from the Enterprise-D which was revealed in a plaque made for Picard S2 to have been retrieved from Veridian 3 and moved to the Fleet Museum.
The Defiant is also there... nice!
When Riker is explaining the computer virus he says it added 3 arbitrarily to every digit, doesn't that allude to (or at least remind you of) Data sending "3" into the next time loop in "Cause & Effect" ?
Youd think so. As a borg computer virus is new.
That was my first thought. Probably where they got the idea.
One does not simply walk away from a scrape with the USS Cheers without a few psychological scars.
It would have made more sense if the code word had been "Batesman" to tie back to that episode. Although, Picard would have potentially been able to figure that one out on his own since he was present for those events.
Another thing you missed to mention: Geordie La Forge's daugher Ensign Alandra La Forge is portrayed by LeVar Burton's real-life daughter Mica Burton.
I don't think he mentioned it because that character hasn't appeared on screen yet.
@@erex21why would he have to wait until Geordi shows up? There’s no reason to wait until that happens.
@@spcmegreg Alandra La Forge hasn't shown up yet. Not Geordi.
Sidney was shown, not Alandra. Both of Geordi's daughters are in this season.
Wrong daughter, Sidney La Forge who appeared in Episode 1 was played by Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut, not by Mica Burton.
I have a few for you...maybe not Easter Eggs, but interesting observations:
On the Titan bridge...was that a Changeling Starfleet Officer?
In the end credits, there's a reference to a U.S.S. Constance destroyed on stardate 44002.3, the stardate of the Battle of Wolf 359
The music notes on screen during the end titles belong to "Pop Goes the Weasel", the song Data is trying to whistle in "Encounter at Farpoint"
Good catches.
yea its pretty obvious at this point shaw hates picard cuz someone died alf wolf 359(or he was an ensign or something)
Don't think it was a changeling. The guy from. 10 Forward and the Titan-A, I think is Section 31. I know if Section 31 it will not be Empress in charge, one could hope.
Really 3rd Bass?
I noticed those, too! I'm going to rewatch that whole credit scene again in slo-mo. I bet there are clues to what we about to see in the rest of this season.
Picard wasnt confused about DS4…he clearly just wasnt aware that DS4 had been shut down and Seven was covering for him
Raffys contact was Worf...... "Speak Freely"..... "Act of war, Your Are A Warrior"... Read it in Worfs voice
Yes, in the commercials Worf implies he is no longer always looking for a fight. I think it is a cover. After the events of DS9 and "Nemesis", Worf was recruited into Starfleet Intelligence, and maybe even Section 31.
Thats a really good point. That could also explain why hes dressed all in black (mostly). And also why the last mission of the Ent-E was completely classified.
You missed Picard's "Shut up Will" after Riker's "nice save" comment. It goes back to all the "shut up Wesley" tweets aimed at Wil Wheaton and when he declared everyone saying that will be blocked, Patrick Stewart responded with "Shut up, Wil."
He said "shut it Will" not "shut up"
No, Patrick Stewart did not reply so rudely to Wil Wheaton - this is a completely made up story from two unrelated tweets (with the “reply” being from years earlier).
Ryan I know it's not just you and Doug you must have 30 people to help you break this down LOL. You did a wonderful job as someone who's been a Star Trek fan since he was 6 years old and it's now 54 I appreciate your attention to detail and all your videos
That's cool. We've been fans the same amount of time. I'm 54 also will be 55 in March. Cheers fellow fan!
Cheers fellow old farts! 55 this year as well! Also been watching since 1st grade when the re-runs would air.
@@robertw31968 LOL we were both born in 68 then cuz I'll be 55 in May God willing
1968 babies are everywhere LOL. Where the last generation who will know what our grandparents lives were like but also we were at the beginning of all the modern stuff cable microwaves pagers cell phones internet it's pretty wild when you think about it. Remembering that late seventies early eighties if you had one of those little boom boxes with one speaker while you thought you were hot on the technology scale😂😂😂
James Callas also appeared as Picard's father in season 2. Lots of 12 Monkeys callbacks.
In the scene where Riker is talking to Picard in a bar there is a bottle of Swaford on the table.
This was a Malt Whisky produced in Scotland and contained 40% Synthehol.
Terry Matalas said the name is a tribute to an old friend.
Yeah, Quentin Swafford, perhaps?
Unless Quentin was named for someone else.
the musical call backs to Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock was amazing...I LOVED IT!!!
Best part of the show!
Well the music is the only thing they got right. I didn't even finish the episode it was so boring.
Dearly departed James Roy Horner, the maestro of the second and third Star Trek original series movies, would be proud.
He had a cameo appearance as an enlisted officer on the second movie in one of the Enterprise 1701's corridors.
Kirsten Dunst played Hedril, not Kestra (though she did remind Lwaxana of her).
I think the “Red Lady" being a statue of Captain Garrett is a tease that we may see Sela later on in this series. Yesterday's Enterprise was the cause of her existence, and it's been teased that other legacy characters/threads may show up in this series which haven't been announced yet. Would be nice to see Denise Crosby on Trek one last time.
ALSO, “47" is a long-running gag from the TNG-era that continues today. No surprise to see it in Picard's password (again).
I thought the same thing about Sela. We could see her.
Kirsten Dunst did play Kestra in some of the dream sequences.
It would be REALLY fucked up having Sela in the season and not inviting Denise Crosby to the premiere on the Chinese Theather
@@victor100judo Or maybe a good way to hide her involvement.
@@Reticuli not a good excuse
"Boatswain" is pronounced "Boe-son". The Titan was Riker's ride in several post-TNG novels
No Boatswain is just that .. Bosun is the shortened version of Boatswain. As "Swain" is Short for Coxswain
@@blazer666del Don't you mean cox'un?
Boatswain: ˈboʊ.sən (Cambridge dictionary)
@@blazer666del It's still pronounced bosun, no matter how you spell it.
Another reference from Star Trek VI that I like is when Seven went 1/4 impulse out of space dock (it's thrusters only while in space dock according to Lt Valeris)
I like how Shaw is eating blue food
@@hezekiahramirez6965 William Shatner ate the blue squid in ST VI. He said that Meyer owed him real money for eating it on screen
I am SO glad I am not the only one who recognized the theme from TMP with subtle overlays of the Titan theme upon her reveal. In fact, the musical easter eggs are aplenty in this episode. So much nostalgia.
The metaphysic shielding mentioned in the episode is also a ref to decent. It’s how crusher was able to hide close to a sun without being destroyed.
Came to comments just to mention that as well.
Actually "Suspicions," not "Descent."
@@L8onL8on when Bev is in command in Descent pt II, she asks Ensign Taitt and Lt Barnaby who was played James Horan, the same actor who played Jo'Bril from Suspicions, to look up the metaphysic shielding program and implement it. Kris said it's *also* a reference to Descent which is the first time we see her in command.
@@toddramsey3799 Yeah you're right, I remembered after I posted that, my bad.
Couple notes, Picard 4 7 alpha tango was mentioned twice in the episode (end credits yes but also earlier when he received the communicator message) and the reman ship he crashed into with the E is called the Scimitar (you called it the Shinzon)
This season is already far better than the previous 2. The music and style is star trek perfection. I really hope they pass the baton to the new generation.
Dr. Crusher used the metaphasic shields when she was in command on the Enterprise while fighting the rogue Borg led by Lore.
The red borg? 😂
The Elios alarm at the very beginning, “Warning. Security Breach. Hull damage” is the alarm from TMP Epsilon 9 station when it confronts V’ger. “We are under attack.”
Respect.
The Enterprise-F Odyssey class ship was the winning design in a contest held by Star Trek Online. It's awesome to see that it is made canon now.
the render they used on the screen was also ST: online promotional art, or at least the same framing and motive.
It’s the only Enterprise I don’t have in the game. I haven’t played the game much in the last several years.
There are other references to Star Trek Online as well. The museum has a Pioneer class ship and the Voyager-B looks a lot like the Bellerophon class. Also the nacelles on the Titan look like the nacelles from several Star Trek Online vessels
The written music notes featured in the end credits are the song "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" picard sings the melody in Insurrection when he and worf are trying to capture Data ... "Come out, come out where ever you are..."
Yep...which was also the song Data was trying to whistle in "Encounter At Farpoint"
it's actually Pop Goes the Weasel -- mulberry bush has some similarities but doesn't match the notes onscreen. And Pop is what Data was trying to whistle -- he kept cacking out on the "POP" high note.
@@heatherfyffe3618 they are the same song. “All around the Mulberry Bush, The monkey chased the weasel. The monkey stopped to pull up his sock, Pop! goes the weasel.”
At 9:35 in this video, you can see Mr. Mott's Hair Emporium, Dabo Tables, and the Quark Bar with the phrase "What is yours is ours" all on M'Talas Prime
That scene is actually from Picard Season 1 for comparison to what we are seeing on M'Talas.
Picard did not confuse DS4 and DS11, he was just out of the loop DS4 had been shut down, not being an active admiral and all. Seven covers for him knowing something is up and this "surprise inspection" is likely not sanctioned.
The Frontier Day font is very reminiscent of TOS Star Trek title fonts. The starship models Guinan is hocking are Eagle Moss model ships
I've got a bunch of them. Recognized immediately
If you look at screenshots of the ship models, one of them appears to be the Federation Class Dreadnought from the Starfleet Technical Manual. Looks like a glimpse of what was forthcoming before Eaglemoss went under.
Am I the only one that thinks the aggressor aliens at the beginning are the silicon-based “clickers” from TNG “Schisms”? (The one’s kidnapping crew and experimenting on them) The robes look the same, they made similar clicking noises, the “masks” they wearing could be for life support in human atmosphere…ships also insect-like as they seem to be based on. We been hearing for months this show was revisiting an enemy from the past, and that was a very left-open storyline…. that’s one of my theories
I was definitely thinking this!
Nope. I actually think they're the parasitic aliens from Season 1, Episode 25, Conspiracy. It was said by Data that they may return someday and, in the episode, The guy at the end (avoiding spoilers), stated 'they wore different faces' along with Beverly warning them not to trust Starfleet, whom those aliens infiltrated in TNG. I'm wondering if this is a 25 year-in-the-making callback.
I agree that they do sound like them, but if they were going to pick up an unanswered thread, why not go with the parasites. The aliens from Schisms were never clearly defined as malevolent. The parasites definitely were.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the last trailer for Picard. Then I saw Rachel Garrett in red and had to stink. What does she have to do with the conspiracy theory? They wouldn’t show that for nothing either. Maybe it’s a combination of several threats. My first theory was it was the marquee coming back for retribution against Starfleet. Because in that series, you had several Starfleet officers side with the marquee in the DMZ zone. Now look at me. Now I’m having coming up with theories like Alex Jones is. Ha ha. But I love everybody’s theories and I hope they all come true. In a twisted way. I hope they all come true because they all make sense. Every theory I’ve heard of red makes sense.
Believe me, I thought the “Conspiracy” plot line too….what’s to say they aren’t connected, hmmm? 🤔
M'talas Prime was actually previously mentioned in the ENT episodes "Dear Doctor" and "Dawn". But it is named after Matalas, whom at the time was a production associate.
Did anyone else catch the changeling crewperson on the titan?
I did!
Where was the changeling in episode 2? Great spot by the way!
@Adam Ridley it actually wasn't a changling in the episode. Apparently, it's an entirely new race. Trek Culture did a video about it about a week ago. Long story short, the way the scene was lit and the quickness of the shot made them look like a changling.
@@popcultureotaku3761 Ahh ok cool. Thanks for explaining.
Now, all I can think of is Werner Herzog actually being in an episode of Picard... I can dream...
Whenever I hear that Ink Spots song, I always get images of the intro from Fallout 3 in my head... Yeah, I used to play it a lot back in '08-'09.
- Funny as hell, for a game set in a post Nuclear-Armageddon world... in a sort of ironic/morbid kind of way.
We all know that Annika was no. 7 "of 9" - But, be Ernest now... ever wondered who Borg9 was? 🤣
Did anyone else notice Riker pausing at the line up of officers when boarding the Titan? what was that about??
so pumped for this season. Hope it continues like this and I hope we get easter egg videos of each episode
At 11:37 Is that a cali class in the background
No, that's the Sutherland class.
Did you catch the reference to Star Trek 3 in the bar where McCoy is charting passage to Genesis? This is where Picard meets Riker in a bar, and as they leave, a person over hears them.
This is amazing. I am truly awed by your breakdown. I'm also amused by how many comments have found even more! Thanks for the video.
A great start to the season...the Titan-A looks fabulous...the music...fantastic. I'm eagerly waiting for the rest of the season
What a wild ride for the first episode of season 3. So many easter eggs. Hell the credits alone, between the First Contact music into the TNG Theme, plus all the secrets in the background. I'm excited to see how things go from here. Also, I love and hate Capt. Shaw at the same time. Plus a number of additional ships from Star Trek Online are now canon.
There is a TOS phaser on Beverly's desk in the opening scene - looks like she is using it for parts.
I didn't see it mentioned, but the Red Alert Klaxon on the Eleos is the same Red Alert Klaxon as heard on the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Oh and that phaser rifle Dr. Crusher had, was not one we've seen before, it was a Pump Action Phaser Shotgun, though it is styled in a similar fashion
I just noticed at the end credits there is a part that pans past the LCARS displaying the holodeck startup protocol. The last line is in red and it says “safety protocols disengaged’
That's a reference to First Contact
@@terminusaquo1980 A handful of episodes in STTNG had safety protocols disengaged. I would say this has something to do with Moriarty. Assuming these end credits are Easter Eggs of things to come.
It might also be reference to "Moriarty", the hologram that became self-aware and who is in the trailer.
Amazing how fast you put out this video, and catching all the details. Great Job !!!
Screencrush gets to watch the episodes probably a week or more in advance. That's why sometimes he slips up and says something like 4:50, 'there are a lot more 12 monkeys connections coming in this season of Picard' cause he's already seen them.
Missed opportunity to have Ensign Kim on the bridge - could've done an intro with Seven introducing him to Picard: "This is Ensign Kim, we were on Voyager together" Harry: "And I'm STILL an Ensign and never got to shack up with Seven!"
He was promoted to Captain after Voyager and commands the Rhode Island even Star Trek Online has a story arc where the actor himself reprised his role. While some parts are Canon now from the game like several classes of ships are now. It's highly likely to say if they did bring Kim back he's no longer a Ensign but at the very least Commander or Captain by now in the 25th Century
@@lowspace4810 Not canon, and Garret Wang specifically wants him to still be an ensign, or have been one at recently quit in frustration of never making it up the ranks. He would like to see Harry as the longest serving Ensign in Starfleet history.
Amazing @ScreenCrush - I absolutely loved the episode and I think I missed 85% of those easter eggs you dropped and I've seen all of the movies and 95% of TNG. You never cease to amaze me - fantastic breakdown and you gave me a new way to look at the EP and appreciate it even more!
Loved it! I’m calling it now they are visiting DS9.
That would be cool.
ummmm Kirsten Dunst did not play Troi's Sister. She was part of a telepathic race that reminded her Troi's mother of her sister.
Yep! Her real sister was played by Andreana Weiner. Granted Kristan Durst represented her sister for several scenes so I am willing to give him a little slack.
We dissected the end credits and, looking at the star ship designations found:
USS constance - went missing at Worf 359, and according to wiki, had the notable commanders Locutus of Borg and someone called Hanson (apparently no relation to 7 of 9)
USS pioneer - captained by Malcolm Reed from Enterprise with 1st officer Travis Mayweather
The end credits also had a lot of references to DNA and the neural network
This is an awesome compilation!
I loved the use of the red alert sound from TMP in the opening scene!
so much research and references connecting is truly astounding work. Esp. Since the show air'd like in the last 24hrs!!! very well done!!
I have a feeling @ryan had screeners
Only other Easter egg I picked up on. When Picard was on the bridge asking if seven should inform engineering they were going to maximum warp and she informs him it's not necessary, is very similar to the conversation between Geordi and Scotty when they're in engineering during the episode Relics.
Actually it reminded me more of Bones to Kirk, "You want a tranquilizer?" "NO"
I am and old very old Star Trek fan and I am really loving the new flavor they are using for this show. Sort of hard core like Andor. Familiar but different. What a nice breath of fresh air for this franchise. 😁
In the M’Talus Prime bar scene 2 people are using the eyeball device from TNG episode “The Game.”
For future reference, the word "boatswain" is pronounced "BOH-sun". (Much like "coxswain" -- more commonly applied to the sport of rowing, but also used by several navies -- which is pronounced "KOX-uhn".) There are a ton of nautical terms which aren't pronounced the way they look, perhaps the most common being "starboard" which is said like "STAR-bird".
Forcastle Pronounced "Folk sall"
@@blazer666del fo-c-le
Thank you so much for this.
Also note the chimes ringing during the bunk scene are from Star Trek 6. Particularly the dinner scene. Also the open PA chatter in the hallway when Picard and Riker arrive on the Titan
Thanks for the video! You missed the dissembled TOS phaser of Bev's desk around 1:46 in.
Fantastic breakdown, as always. Thank you!
I think Picard's (or really any high-ranking Starfleet officer's) passcode isn't as important as their voiceprint. It's similar to 2FA. In the past, someone like Data can perfectly mimic someone's voiceprint, but without the passcode, they wouldn't have full access.
I am glad to see That I am not the only one who saw that, if the episode is an indicator of the season, this is a rehash of the TOS movie Series with the TNG crew. I personally saw the Enemy vessel at the end and wondered if that is Lore's Borg since we had Hugh already and we have seen another Soren type character and Moriarty teased. On an unrelated note the alien ship is similar to the Vi'dar Talios in STFC and that also makes me think Borg.
Love your stuff... Best video ending EVER! Almost fell off my treadmill with the Spaceballs reference.
Notes as I watch: Romulan ale is probably no longer illegal after the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire. It's not true necessarily that Seven broke up with Raffi. She's lying to the guy because she's in intelligence as you say here. It's possible they broke up but it's also possible that they didn't. And if they did they could be on good terms. I guess we will find out. I loved the metaphasic shield reference. I don't think Picard confused deep space 4 with 11. I think he just didn't know it had shut down. But that definitely blew his cover. "The La Sirena" is excessive. It has 2 "the"s. Just say La Sirena. Poor Rachel Garrett, can't catch a break even as a statue. "47" is itself an Easter egg as the number appears multiple times in Trek. I believe it's a reference to Pomona College in some way. Anyhow, I enjoyed this video as always.
Is it me or did he say Picard ramming ‘The Shinzon’ instead of ‘The Scimitar’? 🤔
Awesome break down...it's interesting to know which easter egg's everyone catches...Thank you for breaking this down so quickly... but here is one not mentioned...the item on the back of Picard's office chair...from the episode "Who Watches the Watchers" Season 3 ep 4 TNG...the item the boys gives him at the end of the episode...not sure if you would call it an "easter egg" but it was there in the movies and went from the "D" to the "E" when he moved ships...
LOVED this episode!
And loved watching this review too. I hope you & Doing review more Trek in future!
I think the person Raffi is working with is Worf.
It'd be hilarious if they're Alexander
@@jmarquiso are you joking that would be a brilliant twist
@Chris Innes brilliant AND hilarious, using the alias K'mtat
Romulan Ale was legalized when the Romulans joined the Federation side during the Dominion War.
But it was clearly rescinded after as Nemesis had a line about it being illegal again. More than likely it was the Romulan supernova situation where it became legal: Romulus needed economic activity so exports such as ale became legal to Federation citizens to help support their economy.
Easter Egg: every incarnation of Star Trek is a reference to when, in 2063, Zefram Cochrane said "...and you people, you're all astronauts...on...some kinda star trek." And ought to be mentioned for every easter egg video moving forward.
The music notes in the end credits are from the song "Pop goes the weasel", which Data whistles in "Encounter at Farpoint"
Missed easter egg: while searching for the communicator, Picard opens a box with a number of colored transparent plastic PADDs (I think). Those sat on his desk all the time on the D. He fiddled with them occasionally.
I think about those dopey PADDs all the time. I just think it's so funny that the creators could imagine so, so many creative tech advancements but the one thing they completely missed was that these guys are all walking around with stacks upon stacks of PADDs and running around the ship delivering them to each other. This place was lousy with Kindles.
There were tons more that were missed. Love this channel but they need a hardcore Trek fan on staff.
I loved 12 Monkeys so it's wonderful to see all the connections to that show in Picard.
Deacon.
Great fun video. Thanks for posting. I have only seen S1E1 of this series.
If you have looked at the Instagram logs put out before the premiere, the reason for the Enterprise-F's early decommissioning has to do with extensive damage taken during a mission. However, I firmly believe that the ship will prove at least somewhat instrumental in the end and be fully refit and recommissioned as the Yorktown-class Enterprise-F, ie. not changing enough to warrant a new letter designation like the Titan.
You missed three big easter eggs. At the end, during the credits, there's a screen shot about the Fleet Museum - Athan Prime that specifies four ships that are there. U.S.S. Voyager NCC 74858, U.S.S. Pioneer NCC 1500, U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A and U.S.S. Excelsior NCC-2000. Also in Picard's home office, you can see the rear section of the golden Enterprise-E model on his desk. Overall though, you do a great job. We always watch your easter egg videos after an episode. Keep 'em coming!!!
The Defiant is also there
@@christianschonrock8184 AKA The Whitestar. ; )
Whitestar?
The word boatswain is pronounced "Bosun", as in Bosun's Mate or Bosun's Chair.
Am I the only one who got extensive ‚Mission at Farpoint‘ vibes when Picard told Seven to take the Titan out ? He briefly met Riker‘s eyes and I think I remembered Riker smiling… hit me so hard in the moment.
Todd Stashwick isn't only a Terry Matalas Easter Egg, he was also Talok (a kind-of in-universe Easter Egg) in Star Trek: Enterprise
for annie . . .
😢
is it me, or is that a California Class from Lower Decks in the background at 11:31
Good eye, very well could be. I think there is at least a 20 year difference between Lower Decks and 3rd Season Picard.
@@tnbison yeah, but they kept Excelsior and Miranda classes active for 80 years.
@@MikeAMyers correct.
I'm pretty sure that's a Sutherland class
Thanks for covering this show.
The sheet music we see has the melody of "Pop goes the weasel" that Data was trying to whistle in the holodeck in first episode of ST:TNG
I didn't even know Picard s3 started o_O
The lead character - Jean Luc Picard was ALSO the captain of the starship Enterprise in The Next Generation. Even the same actor!!
go away
You sir are really, really amazing with these easter egg breakdown videos. Thanks!
Love This Video!! Keep Up The Excellent Work!!
With all of this The Wrath of Khan references, there's no doubt Ed Speleers character is Jean-Luc son. And I'll be wishing that Jean-Luc would command a Enterprise Starship at the last few episodes.
He looks more like Jack’s son Wesley was Jean-Luc’s!
Ed's a clone of Jack, dollars to donuts.
I scrolled through all the comments and unless I missed it nobody pointed out that those little ships were the eagle Moss Starships that are now the defunct toy/ship brand that went out of business that made all the starship toys.
So sad to see Eagle Moss go I probably have about 20 of their ships. that's how that quickly came to me.
They also just started making the Star Trek Online ships I miss Eagle Moss okay I'm done 😀
As always a great review and nice to see you reviewing Trek again.
Just fantastic, loved every minute of it being whizzed back into the Star Trek universe. Superb, and now can’t wait for the next episode.
Not watching this show, but still dropping a "like" and a "comment" for the algorithm overlords! Carry on!
you get a thumbs down
Here's another easter egg. The font and blue color used for the conversation between Rafi and her handler looked a lot like what was used for the A.I. interrogating Logan 5 in the movie "Logan's Run." Jerry Goldsmith wrote the score for "Logan's Run."
Longtime ScreenCrush watcher and lapsed Trek fan here, but goodness this breakdown and all the caught references is AMAZING! Well done, Ryan, now off to start Picard for the first time 🖖
My bet is that kid is Picards son. Earlier in the episode Picard speaks of legacy.
Ryan intentionally mispronounces things for comments..... Yeah?
Great video man!
Thank you for catching all the Wrath of Khan references (especially the James Horner feel in the score). One other thing I noticed is that Patrick Stewart would have been 47 at the beginning of TNG in 1987, so I wonder if that’s why 4 and 7 are in the password. I’m also loving that Amanda Plummer is the big bad since her father played the villain in VI. Love your videos - keep ‘me coming!
Also - what piece of sheet music is in the final credits?
@@SammyBuck Apparently it's "Pop Goes The Weasel", which Data was whistling on the holodeck in "Encounter at Farpoint."
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR doing a breakdown for PICARD Season 3...I missed your great content for SEASON 2 of Picard
When he picked up the flute (from episode 'Inner light' ) it gave my arms and neck the stand up hairs treatment....that was such an amazing episode from next generation yougotthis
