@@thatjeff7550 Yes, they hooked up during the series. Another fact, the uniform Kira worn in the pilot episode was kind of skirt like the hide Nana Visitor's post-partal bump from her firstborn
@@thatjeff7550Wanna feel old? Baby Django El Tahir El Siddig is all grown up now and an actor in his own right. There's a video on YT of him doing a table read of a fan script with his dad. It's nothing short of incredible.
That adds a bit of extra depth to Legend of Korra with the Satomobile. I thought it was just his name combined with automobile, but it makes even more sense since you go on journeys in cars.
Though "Hoshi Sato" is a little more on the nose, it does add to the lore of a communications officer with a "star" referenced name; with Lt. Uhura's name meaning "star" in Swahili. And yes, her last name is a "galactic" type reference too, but my memory fails, sorry 😄

I liked Hoshi. Glad she was able to get over-or not show-her fears. She told T'Pol "Ponfo Miran" and T'Pol told her to speak English on the Bridge, but later broke that rule herself when she said "Thank you" in Vulcan. I think that served as a beginning of a friendship between the 2 officers-and even T'Pol needed a sisterly friend (since she had no siblings).
Maybe I'm the only one that got this one.... Scotty says to Kirk that reading klingon is hard... its funny since James Doohan is the one who created the language.
I had no idea Doohan created Klingon. I knew about the finger, I knew he was a war hero. I knew he voiced _pretty much every character_ in _TAS._ But wow, my respect for him has just doubled.
@@GSBarlevI believe he had some help fleshing out the Klingon language from linguist Marc Okrand. Marc also came up with the Vulcan language for Wrath of Khan.
My all-time favorite self-referential joke was Picard, after imprisoning Moriarty in a simulation, poses the question that maybe "We are just a simulation running in a box of someone's shelf".

Whenever they mention the family tree that has the names of the actors who played the Doctor on it, they ALWAYS skip over the fact that it also contains the names of characters from M.A.S.H. In one column you have the names of the TNG cast (Jonathan Frakes Raymond, Brent Spiner Raymond, etc.) and in the very next column, listed as their descendants, you have Charles E. Winchester, Sherman T. Potter, Frances J. Mulcahy, Margaret Hoolihan, and Walter O'Reilly.
Yeah, I was trying to make out the rest of that screen but the resolution is so bad it's hard to make out, at least on my phone. I took a screenshot so I could take a better look. Omg...what an Easter Egg!
There was also a MASH-inspired "4077" label on the cryo-satellite from TNG "The Neutral Zone" and on the engineering control panel in "Half a Life" where guest actor David Ogden Stiers was working. 🖖😎👍
I think you guys forgot also the one from DS9 Trouble and Tribble-ations. Where in one scene the cast sees "Capitan Kirk" come to the atrium and they say "It's that Kirk?" very skeptical. The in-joke here it's that in that scene, it's not actually actor William Shatner, but a double. and so in fact that is NOT Kirk. Good eyes Doctor Bashir.
So Bashir while initially confused rightly questions is that Kirk, but it's not, whether it be Bill Shatner's stand-in or not. If it WAS supposed to be Kirk (the in-joke aside) then someone slipped up because that officer is not wearing "captain's stripes" on his sleeve cuffs - the captain should be wearing what appears to be three stripes (in other photos I've seen) from what I can see of that footage on YT anyway. Either that, or the uniforms changed since Trouble with Tribbles....someone correct me if I"m wrong.
In jokes? You mean like having Christopher Lloyd, who played a scientist who made a time machine AND play a klingon captain in star trek... who's ship was then used to time travel!!
Naw, that's just one of those bizarre coincidences. Lloyd started doing a bunch of sci-fi stuff, Star Trek III came first, then BttF, then My Favorite Martian...(and probably some other sci-fi roles in between). Or perhaps, Christopher Lloyd truly IS a time traveler, and played those roles just to troll us in the present day.
Loyd gained a lot of fame as Jim Ignatowski in Taxi. "Southern Peru, '74 before the rains" my favorite line. Jim could definitely travel time and space.
When you mentioned the LCARS schematic of the Enterprise D having a duck among other things in it, I was reminded those were not the only displays with hidden jokes in them. In the med bay the diagnostic beds had a bar reading "Insurance remaining" and the port to the maintenance tubes was labeled "You must be this tall to ride this ride."
I heard that on one of the Okudagrams in the background of a scene on the bridge of TNG it reads "Just sit right back and you'll here a tale, a tale of a fateful trip."
You may not know it, but the DUCK Joke, was stolen from a MODEL RAILROADER MAGAZINE, WAAAY Back in the 1950's, or 60's. When Somebody drew an "Around the room", Train Layout, they forgot to leave a method of getting in and out of the room, by the DOORWAY, SO the artist put a sign, with an Arrow saying, "Duck-Under HERE". AND published it in the APRIL ISSUE, SO: As an April Fools joke, someone added a Duck, in a washtub of water, to the blueprint, and had the character saying, "That's what the designer Said to do"! I, and others, still remember that!!
There were episode-specific ones too. The episode where Data has to try to evacuate colonists who are going to be wiped out under the terms of a treaty has an Enterprise screen supposedly showing the terms of the treaty, but in the high definition remaster or on Netflix you can actually read it. And it has a bunch of messages in it relating to current events of the time, and a specific joke about this episode.
In the DS9 episode (I believe is the title, please forgive me if I'm incorrect) The Great River, where "self-sealing stem bolts" is most prevalent, is just an homage to the multiple trading episodes done in the tv series M*A*S*H. I enjoyed most of those episodes, but felt forced the last time they did one.
Yeah, but sometimes it begins to grate. Whenever the _British Columbia_ is at DS9 for shore leave, I always get multiple instances of the same complaint: "Captain, he's nice and all, but once you get him talking the man NEVER shuts up!".
Back in 94 I won a Star Trek trivia contest from a local TV station. I got 2 tour packages one for Paramount studios Star trek sets and one for JPL. One thing you did not mention is a decal on the rear arch console that read " 50,000 KPH it's not just a good idea it's the law " I wondered if it was put on there after the episode with the warp 5 speed limit. It still makes me chuckle. that was a good summer.
The best joke is that the only captain who is not American is a Frenchman, played by the most "British" Brit you could imagine! As a Brit myself, I find this hilarious!
They could have explained that in-universe by saying that Picard spent his formative years in British boarding schools or something, but they never offered any explanation for why a French captain had a British accent.
Britain used to own about half of France (after Henry II married Eleanor of Aquitaine and various battle victories) so you could say they came full circle!
Oh, and don't forget the scene in Airplane 2 when William Shatner, as a moonbase commander,looks through the telescope and sees the Enterprise coming towards him. He then stops and blinks in disbelief.
I guess not technically a Trek in-joke, but he does something similar in Boston Legal. Alan Shore (James Spader) is reading a book that mentions little creatures called "Cling Ons". Denny Crane (William Shatner) replies "did you say Klingons?"
You missed the joke that spanned three decades: FIZBIN. It is first mentioned by Kirk in the original series and then shows up in TNG, and finally comes to the punchline in DS9 where we discover it's an actual game and not simply something James T made up!
My favorite in-joke from Picard has to be Vasquez Rocks finally appearing as itself. It was used in the production of at least ten episodes, including the one with the Gorn.
@@bostonrailfan2427 "Fake fan" as in "People who understand Roddenberry's humanitarian vision of Star Trek and who are disgusted by the gory, cheap and atrociously badly written new stuff, made by hipsters who have never bothered with the universe"? Yes, absolutely. That new bs caters to an audience whom are overwhelmed by smart storytelling and character development, preferring cheap action and hollow one-liners instead.
I seem to recall Jeffries was even name checked in an episode of “Enterprise”, possibly by Trip. I have a feeling it was when Trip was upgrading Archer’s Captain’s Chair in Season 4. Also, another in-joke has to be Picard giving Jurati a book because he’s “not a fan of science fiction”.
In a certain TNG episode, a scientist claiming to be from the future (but was actually from the past) asks what did they not have in the 22nd century. Worf crys out "There were no phasers in the 22nd Century". In the Pilot episode of Enterprise, which is set in the 22nd Century, Malcom brings in a box, "Ah our new weapons" replys Archer. "They have two settings, stun and kill - it would be best not to confuse them." IT WOULD BE BEST NOT TO CONFUSE THEM!!!!!
This, to me, was a problem. In the Cage, they used lasers and phasers where invented later. Then along comes Enterprise and messes that up. Don't get me wrong, I like Enterprise, but they didn't seem to know show history well or didn't care.
I believe that to be a nod to Enterprise's Timeline already being manipulated by the Temporal Cold War. Someone was intentionally seeding the Federations past with more advanced technology in order to ensure its future survival. The Temporal Pod stolen by that scientist may have belonged to a Temporal Agent.
One missed in-joke; the labels everywhere, on doors, on access panels, on backs of PADDs, they always contained something that we're never meant to see, whether jokes, shakesperian quotes, or something as daft as "Here be dragons!", even right down to DS9 where a restricted area Rom tried to access when the Dominion were disabling the minefield was labelled as "A-51", those labels were quite hilarious to read when you got to see them when unused ones were auctioned off... :D
@@jasonjimerson7046 No, "Okcudagrams" were the computer interfaces, these were just the labels applied to things to give some visual cue that they had a function, which I wouldn't doubt were designed by Mike Okuda as well, they werent' an interface, just labels, often very silly labels, stuck on things... :)
@@emsleywyatt3400 That's TOS, I'm referring to TNG-onwards, you can see the GNDN pipes, but the labels, you can rarely read them, so is the perfect in-joke cos the actors and crew can read them, but we don't get to (unless like I say, you saw the pictures from when they auctioned the unused ones off)... :)
I believe Dr McCou was given the name Leonard McCoy when Roddenberry decided to name him after Leonard Nimoy, the in joke being that Spock and Doctor McCoy were always bickering so to give them something in common. Another in joke was from the third series. I can't remember the title of the episode but it was the one with the space hippies who want to go to Eden so tàke over the ship. The hippies, for want of a better expression, use the term 'Herbert' as an insult for anyone they consider to be a square.. Apparently it was inspired by Herbert Solow, who had been a production executive on the first two seasons. Apparently some of the team hadn't got on with him and the writers stuck the term in as a sly dig at him.
RE: I can't remember the title of the episode but it was the one with the space hippies who want to go to Eden You were essentially there: The Way to Eden.
@@sail2byzantium That's the one. Definitely one of the poorer episodes in its implementation and a slightly silly story but I still enjoyed seeing Brian Dennehy years before he turned up in First Blood as the sheriff who pushed John Rambo to the edge and paid the price.
@@igrim4777 Perhaps in Britain this is what the pejorative "Herbert" means (as I check the web). But Star Trek was American produced and the term for the episode "The Way to Eden" was applied to Kirk and others not for their childishness, but their seeming rigidity (so context is everything--which you've ignored here.). According to Memory Alpha--the Trek encyclopedia--the term or "insult "Herbert" and the official it was named after were inserted at the behest of production executive Douglas S. Cramer. It is thought that they were digs at his predecessor, Herbert F. Solow, though Herbert Hoover has also been suggested as a target."
Not sure if this actually appears on the episode, but I have a collectible card game card, featuring the season 6 episode, 'Rascals'. It shows the child versions of Picard, Ro Laren, Keiko O'Brien, and Guinan in a conduit on the Enterprise D. An Okudagram sign by a hatch way says "You Have To Be This Tall To Take The Ride."
How did you miss the Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems ref they used in TNG and DS9? This being a ref to the fictitious company in Buckaroo Bansai run by the dictator John Warfin from Planet 9. :P
Buckaroo Banzai Lord John Whorfin Planet 10 Sorry, I’ve just watched it again recently and I was triggered. If I’m posting something I always check I’m spelling things correctly, if only to nod some respect to fans of whatever I am referencing.
They should seriously make an actual Poc & Dar Cop Landlords as a spin-off....or at least a live action movie. I'd watch it. I mean like, the movie Machete came out of a parody movie ad/trailer in another movie, but they made it into a real franchise.
In "Bread and Circuses," the SS-Beagle's flight officer in question was William B. Harrison. Still, a "William Harrison" checking out before the gist of the show is still a good meme on history.
McConnell is her husband, right? (looks it up) Yep. I can't keep track of who's married to whom in TV shows now. Imagine how surprised I was to learn Colin Jost is married to ScarJo.
I had forgotten that tidbit and cringed when watching that episode live. Did a complete 180 when someone in the chat reminded me of the connection in that week's _Ups and Downs._
@@DawnDavidson Not sure why. It doesn't actually have any relevance. Either it's ok to use that kind of tone and wording in such a description...or it's not. Circumstance is irrelevant to it. It's like "spoilers." Either the content is good regardless of whether it's a surprise...or it's not good. If it has to be a surprise to be properly enjoyed, then it's not good. Surprise is an empty gimmick.
One of my favorite possible "in jokes" or what could be background lore, is in DS9. Vilix'pran is never shown on screen but he is mentioned multiple times, usually when he is pregnant. I don't know if he counts as an in joke, but he sticks in my memory.
Or the comment by O'Brien, "Are we ever" when asked to be beamed away, when Bashir comments that they might be stuck in a paradox, from Tribble's and Tribulations. Of which of course the entire episode is one long in-joke...
one of the in-jokes that made an appearance in TNG, DS9, and Voyager is that humans get completely wasted when they drink a blue liquid at the bar. Despite Romulan Ale being illeagle in Star Fleet facilities.
The Okudas may have been inspired to put actors from other SF shows in the Okudagrams by the anime Dirty Pair. In the first episode, aired in 1985, a list of names is briefly visible that includes W. Shatner and L. Nimoy, and a model of the TOS Enterprise can be seen in the main characters' apartment. We know one or both of the Okudas were Dirty Pair fans because the Okudagrams are loaded with references to the main characters, Kei and Yuri.
I can confirm that the Okudas put easter eggs everywhere. The now defunct star trek museum in Vulcan AB had a bunch of the background pieces from Bashir's lab on DS9. They had stuff referencing everything from superman, spiderman, star wars, you name it.
You can add to that list the visual design of the Exocomps from episode "The Quality of Life" was heavily inspired by Kei & Yuri's robot sidekick, Nanmo.
Seven of Nines name comes from a 60's TV show called "My Living Doll" starring Julie Newmar. In it, a scientist creates a robotic woman coded named the AF 7-0-9 ( the AF standing for 'Amazonian Female' )
If you haven't read "The Flying Sorcerers" by Larry Niven and David Gerrold (both wrote for Star Trek), you simply must. There are in-jokes and Trek references everywhere. For example (not spoilers), the God of Sheep is "Rotn'bair", whose symbol is a box with two lines in a "V" shape on top (the Horned Box), and the God of Thunder and Lightning, "Elcin", is said to be tiny, but extremely powerful and quick to anger. Oh, and all of the names of gods and many characters are the domain of Tukker, God of Names.
With Reference to 47. You should mention season 4 episode 7 of Deep Space Nine. this was the roswell episode where "Quark and Rom take Nog to Earth and Starfleet Academy, but a malfunction with the ship takes the crew back in time, to Roswell, New Mexico in 1947." Thank you (IMDB) Also listen to the overhead announcements in the the StarTrek Online MMO game on earth space dock they referance Club 47 on the shace station.(everyone forgets the game) Sometimes new ships appear there first.
Okay, I gotta say, back when the Naked Now first aired... the image of Roddenberry as the bird - I spotted that but it flashed on the screen so fast that I thought for sure it was the digital parrot from Max Headroom. I've always thought that was it was until now. Wow.
Having had to map existing network infrastructure in buildings where things have changed over the years, the gag label of GNDN is one I actually use, because sometimes there are network ports on walls with no cable running to them, or a cable that mysteriously ends halfway across the plenum, or dead/disconnected ports on server room patch panels... GNDN is an apt description in many of these cases.
I like where Cdr. T'Pol tells Dr. Phlox how much Inaprovolene to give her and he responds to calling her "Dr. T'Pol. Later on the Seleya, Cpt. Archer asks if she can help her former Vulcan colleague Solin-who's gone Zombie-if she can help him. She simply tells him, "I'm not a doctor."
The one I like the most is on TOS in sickbay the monitor on the far right (the one that always tanks first when the patient dies) is "Amount of Health Insurance Remaining" It seems fitting for today unfortunately.
I loved the magazine cover where Rodenberry is listed as the author of questor. The questor tapes was a show. He tried to sell after Star Trek. I always liked the pilot.
"You'd do anything to beat me at darts." "I haven't lost a game to you in months!" The irony here is that Bashir hasn't ever lost a game, due to his Genetic enhancements - a nod to Khan and his followers.
#4 is also in the Blueprints of the Enterprise hand book, you also forgot the FUREST LEFT Bar on the Bio-Bed is the : Remaining Health Insurance of Patient.
Had a thought, when you mentioned Cmdr Ransom, would be nice to connect Lower Decks to Voyager another way, doubt they will though. What if Captain Ransom of the USS Equinox was the uncle to Cmdr Ransom on Lower Decks, was just a passing thought while watching and thought I would share.
What about R2D2 in both the 2009 Star Trek and Into Darkness. In the first film, R2D2 is floating around in the debris field above Vulcan, while in into Darkness, R2D2 gets vented from the Enterprise when they are attacked by Robocop - Dead or Alive, your coming with me!
@@DawnDavidson The AE35 control module for the antenna was the catalyst for the conflict between the crew of _Discovery_ and HAL 9000 in "2001: A Space Odyssey".
You missed all the references to Buckaroo Banzai, Yoyodyne, and the use of the Oscilation Overthruster as a prop throughout multiple series and movies. But still a good list. Just consider this an Honorable Mention.
How about all the injokes on DS9's promenade directory? Such as Spacely Sprockets (The Jetsons) Milliway's (The Restaurant at the End of the Universe), Del Floria's (The Man From UNCLE), Tom Servo and more? 😅
In the books, Mourn is described as a 'talkative character'. In one episode, when Mourn is supposed to have taken over Quark's bar in the future, he was also described as still talking people's ear off. Yet, none of the episodes ever showed him talking.
This reminds me a bit of the TV miniseries Anzacs, about Australian soldiers in WW1. One of the characters doesn't utter a word, even to the point of being interrupted mere moments before singing. This was done because, while the actor was Australian and looked Australian, he had been brought up in South America and so his accent would have been way out of place.
In the episode in which David Ogden Stiers plays the scientist trying to rejuvinate a star, the display he is monitoring says "Composite Sensor Analysis 4077", the 4077 being a reference to MASH, where Stiers played Dr Winchester.
@ 2:23 What?! You're gonna leave out the biggest joke nod to "Star Trek"? From the first Pilot to currently; the original emblem on the Enterprise crew shirt Which is famous now and reconned taken over Star Fleet. The emblem has a "Star" inside a Native American emblem (Buffalo print) for "Trek".
Comrade, if you truly knew you Gaeilge (Irish language) you would know that Bringloidí stands for haemorrhoids. The inside joke there is that Capt. Picard, Riker et al considered the Irish as such from the TNG series. Look it up myJackeen friend . Who's laughing now?
Ransom's comment about Una being "the hottest babe in Starfleet" in the SNW episode "Those Old Scientists" is quite possibly the most in in-joke ever; Jerry O'Connell is married to Rebecca Romijn.
While I enjoy most of your episodes, I think it's hilarious when millennials think something is "problematic" when it was NEVER problematic until they got triggered by it.
You missed the best one, Picard's line from Ship In A Bottle: "All this might just be an elaborate simulation, running inside a little device sitting on someone’s table," followed by the last line of the episode: "Computer, end program."
So, since you lovely folks are so fond of linking in Star Trek Online bits, I have another one to add to the 47 list. The club on Earth Space Dock is called Club 47. Boom.
Love that there was an unseen Buffy reference in one of the best eps, and that yall used a clip from the episode where the adults become their teen selves again, loved Quark's nerd persona there
Holy shit! The actor who played Morn came into my office when I was a young lawyer to talk to me about suing DS9 over his non-speaking character who was supposed to speak a lot and brought the same evidence!
@sureshmukhi2316 how long ago was DS9 on? The detail are a little fuzzy 25 years and 3000 clients later. Best recollection is that I didn't believe he had a strong case under then-existing law. May have had something to do with his contract but im just guessing.
I love this channel! @trekculture, I was watching Discovery and kept seeing the Lower Decks and Jett Reno connections. She eats black licorice and even had to fix a replicator that's was spitting out hot bananas in S4 🤣

I don't know if it's an in joke as much as a trope, but destroying the hero ship or station or it's "sister" version is a time honored tradition from Archer to Kirk, Picard to Sisko (BOTH Ds9 and Defiant) Janeway.....even the Protostar. I'll be surprised if they don't blow the Cerritos to bits in Lower Decks. They LOVE traumatizing the audience by blowing up the vessel they have grown to love. The poor galaxy class has gotten the worst of it, no less than SIX times.
When the Borg Queen says "Watch your future's end" in First Contact, she mean the Borg are about to destroy the phoenix, changing the course of human history forever but also the viewers should watch the Voyager two parter "Future's End" which was first aired the same weekend as First Contact released in cinemas.
Left one out! Gerry Anderson had a show that pre-dated "Star Trek" called "Fireball XL5". On the glass matte painting of the impulse drive in the engineering section. In the top-left corner are a series of pipes, each numbered with presumably part or reference numbers, one of which includes "XL5"

@@d.a.b8756 ST3 (according to Google) came out June 1, '84 but you are essentially correct, which is the next best kind of correct.
Naw, that's just one of those bizarre coincidences. Lloyd started doing a bunch of sci-fi stuff, Star Trek III came first, then BttF, then My Favorite Martian...(and probably some other sci-fi roles in between). Or perhaps, Christopher Lloyd truly IS a time traveler, and played those roles just to troll us in the present day.
Loyd gained a lot of fame as Jim Ignatowski in Taxi.
"Southern Peru, '74 before the rains" my favorite line.
Jim could definitely travel time and space.
How is Kira blaming Bashir for her carrying Keikos baby not in this? Irl Nana Vistor was pregnant and Alexander Siddig was the father.
When you mentioned the LCARS schematic of the Enterprise D having a duck among other things in it, I was reminded those were not the only displays with hidden jokes in them. In the med bay the diagnostic beds had a bar reading "Insurance remaining" and the port to the maintenance tubes was labeled "You must be this tall to ride this ride."
I heard that on one of the Okudagrams in the background of a scene on the bridge of TNG it reads "Just sit right back and you'll here a tale, a tale of a fateful trip."
You may not know it, but the DUCK Joke, was stolen from a MODEL RAILROADER MAGAZINE, WAAAY Back in the 1950's, or 60's.
When Somebody drew an "Around the room", Train Layout, they forgot to leave a method of getting in and out of the room, by the DOORWAY, SO the artist put a sign, with an Arrow saying, "Duck-Under HERE". AND published it in the APRIL ISSUE, SO: As an April Fools joke, someone added a Duck, in a washtub of water, to the blueprint, and had the character saying, "That's what the designer Said to do"! I, and others, still remember that!!
There were episode-specific ones too. The episode where Data has to try to evacuate colonists who are going to be wiped out under the terms of a treaty has an Enterprise screen supposedly showing the terms of the treaty, but in the high definition remaster or on Netflix you can actually read it. And it has a bunch of messages in it relating to current events of the time, and a specific joke about this episode.
I've heard of one that says, "In space, no-one can hear you scream."
When I visited the Smithsonian in September I mayyyyyyyy have spent more time geeking out over the Enterprise model than the Wright flyer. Maybe. 😊😊
Yeah...........that was me also. Plus the life size X-wing.
I liked the 'Self-sealing Stimbolts' running gag on DS9.
stem bolts*
In the DS9 episode (I believe is the title, please forgive me if I'm incorrect) The Great River, where "self-sealing stem bolts" is most prevalent, is just an homage to the multiple trading episodes done in the tv series M*A*S*H. I enjoyed most of those episodes, but felt forced the last time they did one.
@@jezz2k haha, my bad. it's been awhile since I seen the series, so my memory if it's spelling was definitely off.
Sorry if I'm a bit dense. I don't understand the joke.
I hear Morn talk all the time...man the stories he told. Amazing.
Yeah, but sometimes it begins to grate. Whenever the _British Columbia_ is at DS9 for shore leave, I always get multiple instances of the same complaint: "Captain, he's nice and all, but once you get him talking the man NEVER shuts up!".
He's such a chatterbox
Morn was the homie. I remember seeing the episode title "who mourns for Morn?" And being like, "Aww, I would." Didn't he manage a date with Dax?
Back in 94 I won a Star Trek trivia contest from a local TV station. I got 2 tour packages one for Paramount studios Star trek sets and one for JPL. One thing you did not mention is a decal on the rear arch console that read " 50,000 KPH it's not just a good idea it's the law " I wondered if it was put on there after the episode with the warp 5 speed limit. It still makes me chuckle. that was a good summer.
Wow, what an amazing prize! I would love to have won something like that.
The best joke is that the only captain who is not American is a Frenchman, played by the most "British" Brit you could imagine! As a Brit myself, I find this hilarious!
They could have explained that in-universe by saying that Picard spent his formative years in British boarding schools or something, but they never offered any explanation for why a French captain had a British accent.
Stewart has often joked that they had an English nanny.
Unless im mistaken in picard season 2 its mentioned ghey moved to uk during the war thats why his name is french but hes english in voice.
@@anonygentthey did…in Picard when he asked about his son’s accent
Britain used to own about half of France (after Henry II married Eleanor of Aquitaine and various battle victories) so you could say they came full circle!
I always thought it was hilarious that Captain Picard was involved with a woman named Vash when Vache is French for Cow.
and so Tom Paris turned Harry's Fairhaven girlfriend into a Vache. Is that another injoke?
Oh, and don't forget the scene in Airplane 2 when William Shatner, as a moonbase commander,looks through the telescope and sees the Enterprise coming towards him. He then stops and blinks in disbelief.
And repeatedly opens and closes doors by saying "sshh"
I guess not technically a Trek in-joke, but he does something similar in Boston Legal. Alan Shore (James Spader) is reading a book that mentions little creatures called "Cling Ons". Denny Crane (William Shatner) replies "did you say Klingons?"
"Shhh"
"Shhh"
How is "I am a Doctor, not a..." its the most common joke even
Bet you're fun at parties.
And the one that was never used by Dr. Crusher
It's not really an in-joke.
I’m not a gynaecologist but I’ll take a look 😂
Common doesn't mean greatest.
You missed the joke that spanned three decades: FIZBIN. It is first mentioned by Kirk in the original series and then shows up in TNG, and finally comes to the punchline in DS9 where we discover it's an actual game and not simply something James T made up!
My favorite in-joke from Picard has to be Vasquez Rocks finally appearing as itself. It was used in the production of at least ten episodes, including the one with the Gorn.
And I've been there in 2018, took me two flights and 14 hours :D
@@novacolonel5287i accidentally read that as two fights
@@bostonrailfan2427 We can get in a third when someone claims that "Picard" is canon 😂

@@bostonrailfan2427 "Fake fan" as in "People who understand Roddenberry's humanitarian vision of Star Trek and who are disgusted by the gory, cheap and atrociously badly written new stuff, made by hipsters who have never bothered with the universe"? Yes, absolutely.
That new bs caters to an audience whom are overwhelmed by smart storytelling and character development, preferring cheap action and hollow one-liners instead.
When Morn faked his death, and they held a memorial for him, Jadzia revealed that she asked him out on a date. But, he turned her down.
What kind of moron refuses Jadzia? Thats like refusing a night with Seven Of Nine!
I seem to recall Jeffries was even name checked in an episode of “Enterprise”, possibly by Trip. I have a feeling it was when Trip was upgrading Archer’s Captain’s Chair in Season 4. Also, another in-joke has to be Picard giving Jurati a book because he’s “not a fan of science fiction”.
The Menagerie is Star Trek, where they sit down and watch Star Trek
In a certain TNG episode, a scientist claiming to be from the future (but was actually from the past) asks what did they not have in the 22nd century. Worf crys out "There were no phasers in the 22nd Century".
In the Pilot episode of Enterprise, which is set in the 22nd Century, Malcom brings in a box, "Ah our new weapons" replys Archer. "They have two settings, stun and kill - it would be best not to confuse them."
IT WOULD BE BEST NOT TO CONFUSE THEM!!!!!
This, to me, was a problem. In the Cage, they used lasers and phasers where invented later. Then along comes Enterprise and messes that up. Don't get me wrong, I like Enterprise, but they didn't seem to know show history well or didn't care.
I believe that to be a nod to Enterprise's Timeline already being manipulated by the Temporal Cold War. Someone was intentionally seeding the Federations past with more advanced technology in order to ensure its future survival. The Temporal Pod stolen by that scientist may have belonged to a Temporal Agent.
One missed in-joke; the labels everywhere, on doors, on access panels, on backs of PADDs, they always contained something that we're never meant to see, whether jokes, shakesperian quotes, or something as daft as "Here be dragons!", even right down to DS9 where a restricted area Rom tried to access when the Dominion were disabling the minefield was labelled as "A-51", those labels were quite hilarious to read when you got to see them when unused ones were auctioned off... :D
Isn't this yet another example of "Okudagrams"?
@@jasonjimerson7046 No, "Okcudagrams" were the computer interfaces, these were just the labels applied to things to give some visual cue that they had a function, which I wouldn't doubt were designed by Mike Okuda as well, they werent' an interface, just labels, often very silly labels, stuck on things... :)
GNDN.
@@emsleywyatt3400 That's TOS, I'm referring to TNG-onwards, you can see the GNDN pipes, but the labels, you can rarely read them, so is the perfect in-joke cos the actors and crew can read them, but we don't get to (unless like I say, you saw the pictures from when they auctioned the unused ones off)... :)
So many Giligan's Island references.
"I'm a doctor, not a doorstop." - Enterprise-E EMH
"I'm a doctor, not a lightbulb." From Voyager's EMH.
"I'm a doctor, not a counter-insurgent!" - Voyager's EMH
I believe Dr McCou was given the name Leonard McCoy when Roddenberry decided to name him after Leonard Nimoy, the in joke being that Spock and Doctor McCoy were always bickering so to give them something in common.
Another in joke was from the third series. I can't remember the title of the episode but it was the one with the space hippies who want to go to Eden so tàke over the ship. The hippies, for want of a better expression, use the term 'Herbert' as an insult for anyone they consider to be a square.. Apparently it was inspired by Herbert Solow, who had been a production executive on the first two seasons. Apparently some of the team hadn't got on with him and the writers stuck the term in as a sly dig at him.
RE: I can't remember the title of the episode but it was the one with the space hippies who want to go to Eden
You were essentially there: The Way to Eden.
@@sail2byzantium That's the one. Definitely one of the poorer episodes in its implementation and a slightly silly story but I still enjoyed seeing Brian Dennehy years before he turned up in First Blood as the sheriff who pushed John Rambo to the edge and paid the price.
@@trevorbrown6654
Thanks!
And I appreciate your info here about Herb Solow as the source of the pejorative "Herbert". Now I know.
@@sail2byzantium Doubtful about that origin. Herbert is old slang for a fool or a mischievous child.
@@igrim4777
Perhaps in Britain this is what the pejorative "Herbert" means (as I check the web). But Star Trek was American produced and the term for the episode "The Way to Eden" was applied to Kirk and others not for their childishness, but their seeming rigidity (so context is everything--which you've ignored here.).
According to Memory Alpha--the Trek encyclopedia--the term or "insult "Herbert" and the official it was named after were inserted at the behest of production executive Douglas S. Cramer. It is thought that they were digs at his predecessor, Herbert F. Solow, though Herbert Hoover has also been suggested as a target."
Not sure if this actually appears on the episode, but I have a collectible card game card, featuring the season 6 episode, 'Rascals'. It shows the child versions of Picard, Ro Laren, Keiko O'Brien, and Guinan in a conduit on the Enterprise D. An Okudagram sign by a hatch way says "You Have To Be This Tall To Take The Ride."
I keep thinking Morn is a one way telepath outside his species. If he looks at you, you just "hear him".
Never considered that. You might be on to something.

If I’m posting something I always check I’m spelling things correctly, if only to nod some respect to fans of whatever I am referencing.
They should seriously make an actual Poc & Dar Cop Landlords as a spin-off....or at least a live action movie. I'd watch it. I mean like, the movie Machete came out of a parody movie ad/trailer in another movie, but they made it into a real franchise.
Best: ST:TOS had a character named William Henry Harrison, who died before the opening credits.
In "Bread and Circuses," the SS-Beagle's flight officer in question was William B. Harrison.
Still, a "William Harrison" checking out before the gist of the show is still a good meme on history.
No mention of Ransom gushing over how hot Una is at the end of Those old scientists?
McConnell is her husband, right? (looks it up) Yep. I can't keep track of who's married to whom in TV shows now. Imagine how surprised I was to learn Colin Jost is married to ScarJo.
I had forgotten that tidbit and cringed when watching that episode live. Did a complete 180 when someone in the chat reminded me of the connection in that week's _Ups and Downs._
@@GSBarlevcontext really matters there!
@@DawnDavidson Not sure why. It doesn't actually have any relevance.
Either it's ok to use that kind of tone and wording in such a description...or it's not. Circumstance is irrelevant to it.
It's like "spoilers." Either the content is good regardless of whether it's a surprise...or it's not good. If it has to be a surprise to be properly enjoyed, then it's not good. Surprise is an empty gimmick.
when a actor from MASH was on they had a reading of 4077 on a display
One of my favorite possible "in jokes" or what could be background lore, is in DS9. Vilix'pran is never shown on screen but he is mentioned multiple times, usually when he is pregnant. I don't know if he counts as an in joke, but he sticks in my memory.
Also, the guy that Jadzia once dated with the translucent head. The one that Worf didn't like.
I honestly thought Star Trek's "47" was a play on Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy's "42".
Or the comment by O'Brien, "Are we ever" when asked to be beamed away, when Bashir comments that they might be stuck in a paradox, from Tribble's and Tribulations. Of which of course the entire episode is one long in-joke...
one of the in-jokes that made an appearance in TNG, DS9, and Voyager is that humans get completely wasted when they drink a blue liquid at the bar. Despite Romulan Ale being illeagle in Star Fleet facilities.
romulan ale or a salute to Tatoonian blue milk? Or do the Lars have a stock of Romulan ale we don't know about?
The Okudas may have been inspired to put actors from other SF shows in the Okudagrams by the anime Dirty Pair. In the first episode, aired in 1985, a list of names is briefly visible that includes W. Shatner and L. Nimoy, and a model of the TOS Enterprise can be seen in the main characters' apartment. We know one or both of the Okudas were Dirty Pair fans because the Okudagrams are loaded with references to the main characters, Kei and Yuri.
I can confirm that the Okudas put easter eggs everywhere. The now defunct star trek museum in Vulcan AB had a bunch of the background pieces from Bashir's lab on DS9. They had stuff referencing everything from superman, spiderman, star wars, you name it.
You can add to that list the visual design of the Exocomps from episode "The Quality of Life" was heavily inspired by Kei & Yuri's robot sidekick, Nanmo.
Wasn't there one regarding Riker's quarters? They weren't his - Luke Skywalker's name was on the door.
I'm sure that the 'Babel Fish', from 'The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy' pops up occasionally on screens thanks to the Okudas.
Seven of Nines name comes from a 60's TV show called "My Living Doll" starring Julie Newmar. In it, a scientist creates a robotic woman coded named the AF 7-0-9 ( the AF standing for 'Amazonian Female' )
Why does everything happen to be located at heading 310 mark 215?
8:55 Arguably, Lower Decks already cannonised the Rubber Ducky room in the season 2 finale
Remember how worked up Seán and the writers got in the lead-up to the S02 finale that we _just might_ get a view of Cetacean Ops?
The whales at Cetacean Ops need some company, so it's normal.
If you haven't read "The Flying Sorcerers" by Larry Niven and David Gerrold (both wrote for Star Trek), you simply must. There are in-jokes and Trek references everywhere. For example (not spoilers), the God of Sheep is "Rotn'bair", whose symbol is a box with two lines in a "V" shape on top (the Horned Box), and the God of Thunder and Lightning, "Elcin", is said to be tiny, but extremely powerful and quick to anger.
Oh, and all of the names of gods and many characters are the domain of Tukker, God of Names.
47 is also repeatedly dropped in Alias (and possibly other JJ Abrams products). It pops up in smaller amounts in other genre pieces.
Don't forget the running line of Cmdr Riker... What the hell?!
An episode guide book pointed out, the engineering section okudagram indicates that the Enterprise is powered by a hamster on a wheel.
Surely the single greatest in-joke in Trek history is Lower Decks. Simply...Lower Decks. The entire series is one massive string of in-jokes.
Therefore it's not canon!
That's why I love that show.

This made me laugh 47 times.
The ST:E retro-con of the appearance of TOS Klingons was, in my opinion, genius.
With Reference to 47. You should mention season 4 episode 7 of Deep Space Nine. this was the roswell episode where "Quark and Rom take Nog to Earth and Starfleet Academy, but a malfunction with the ship takes the crew back in time, to Roswell, New Mexico in 1947." Thank you (IMDB) Also listen to the overhead announcements in the the StarTrek Online MMO game on earth space dock they referance Club 47 on the shace station.(everyone forgets the game) Sometimes new ships appear there first.
Okay, I gotta say, back when the Naked Now first aired... the image of Roddenberry as the bird - I spotted that but it flashed on the screen so fast that I thought for sure it was the digital parrot from Max Headroom. I've always thought that was it was until now. Wow.
For the 47 part you forgot about Captain Jean-Luc Picard's authorization code 4 7 Alpha Tango.
It would not be possible to list every 47 reference in a video that anyone would want to watch.
Having had to map existing network infrastructure in buildings where things have changed over the years, the gag label of GNDN is one I actually use, because sometimes there are network ports on walls with no cable running to them, or a cable that mysteriously ends halfway across the plenum, or dead/disconnected ports on server room patch panels... GNDN is an apt description in many of these cases.
I like where Cdr. T'Pol tells Dr. Phlox how much Inaprovolene to give her and he responds to calling her "Dr. T'Pol. Later on the Seleya, Cpt. Archer asks if she can help her former Vulcan colleague Solin-who's gone Zombie-if she can help him. She simply tells him, "I'm not a doctor."
The one I like the most is on TOS in sickbay the monitor on the far right (the one that always tanks first when the patient dies) is "Amount of Health Insurance Remaining" It seems fitting for today unfortunately.
I loved the magazine cover where Rodenberry is listed as the author of questor. The questor tapes was a show. He tried to sell after Star Trek. I always liked the pilot.
"You'd do anything to beat me at darts."
"I haven't lost a game to you in months!"
The irony here is that Bashir hasn't ever lost a game, due to his Genetic enhancements - a nod to Khan and his followers.
#4 is also in the Blueprints of the Enterprise hand book, you also forgot the FUREST LEFT Bar on the Bio-Bed is the : Remaining Health Insurance of Patient.
Had a thought, when you mentioned Cmdr Ransom, would be nice to connect Lower Decks to Voyager another way, doubt they will though. What if Captain Ransom of the USS Equinox was the uncle to Cmdr Ransom on Lower Decks, was just a passing thought while watching and thought I would share.
What about R2D2 in both the 2009 Star Trek and Into Darkness. In the first film, R2D2 is floating around in the debris field above Vulcan, while in into Darkness, R2D2 gets vented from the Enterprise when they are attacked by Robocop - Dead or Alive, your coming with me!

In the books, Mourn is described as a 'talkative character'. In one episode, when Mourn is supposed to have taken over Quark's bar in the future, he was also described as still talking people's ear off. Yet, none of the episodes ever showed him talking.
This reminds me a bit of the TV miniseries Anzacs, about Australian soldiers in WW1. One of the characters doesn't utter a word, even to the point of being interrupted mere moments before singing.
This was done because, while the actor was Australian and looked Australian, he had been brought up in South America and so his accent would have been way out of place.
Nice ! Didn´t know most of them.

While I enjoy most of your episodes, I think it's hilarious when millennials think something is "problematic" when it was NEVER problematic until they got triggered by it.
