Yes! That's one of my favorites! I actually saw "Relics" before I saw the TOS episode, so when I first saw that particular TOS episode, I recognized the later scene in "Relics" as the excellent callback that it was.
Not a callback exactly but I love how Kor, Kang, and Koloth were all portrayed in deep space nine by the same actors who portrayed them in the original series. This was really cool and I'm glad they were all available to do it. Breaking up that trio by replacing even one of them just would not have been cool.
Actually, I think that was the definition of a good call back. Those man should have been nothing but relics of history and somehow circumstances brings them together 88 years after the event of Generations - They all outlived Kirk LOL!
@@dellytancyl524 I actually agree but some people would argue whether that qualifies or not so just saying whether you think it qualifies or not I thought it was awesome
All I have to add is that the destruction of the Enterprise was not "like" the death of a beloved character, it WAS the death of a beloved character. Much like Serenity in the Firefly series and movie, Enterprise is absolutely, 100% a character, and a much-loved one. Other than that tiny detail, good video. I actually knew a lot of these, the exceptions being those from the animated shows. Still working on those.
@@zeroplacestv Same. While Spock's death had made me sad, the destruction of the Enterprise, especially the way it burns up in atmosphere, made me cry in the theater as well.
Watching the scene again is liking watching a video of the death of a relative. It still pulls up the hurt. Especially when the old girl showed she still had legs and merit versus the new kid.
Not sure if this theory has been thought of, but i just had a thought. Benny Russel is Sisko after the series. The Sisko did return after his time with the Prophets, but in the 1950's with amnesia of his time as Ben Sisko. and remembered that time as dreams that manifested as story ideas. His subconscious could even be making him see people that sounded and looked like the people he knew as human versions of them. obviously they couldn't have planed that when they made the episode. but it could easily fit.
I've got nearly the same idea. The only difference is, that Benny Russel is a reincarnation of Sisko, who was created by the Prophets to ensure that certain things happen. After Russel died, Sisko went somewhere else, where he is needed, either as a reincarnation or as himself.
I like it. You know, this would be the perfect pitch to Paramount. A new series called Star Trek: Epilogues. It would be an episodic trip through old stories that could give some closure to unresolved plots and characters from TOS through Enterprise. And maybe even shore up the continuity a bit. Might not be everything the old school fans want but I promise it would be a bigger hit than any of the star dreck they are putting out today. (though I am really hoping SNW brings it home in season 2.
One of my favourite callbacks from TNG was in the season four episode, "Data's Day". At the very beginning of the show, Data names Dr. Maddox as the recipient of his correspondence/log entries throughout the episode. Dr. Bruce Maddox was the cybernetic scientist that attempted to disassemble Data during the pivotal season 2 episode "The Measure of a Man".
That Benny Russle episode was one of the best, yet hardest to watch episodes of all of DS9. But the Trubble with Edward wasn't a call back but a retcon. In Enterprise, and TOS it is stated that Tribbles are born pregnant, but only behind breeding when their is ample food around. Since Enterprise takes place a near century before DISCO, that would make Trouble with Edward cannon breaking.
Those were Continuations, not call backs. The moment Pike pull that time crystal, his fate was seal. If it wasn't kirk on the enterprise, It would have been another captain. The events of Balance of Terror is not the paradox, Pike's existence is.
@@dellytancyl524 I agree to a point, but "A Quality of Mercy" also makes call backs to TOS episode "Obsession". Apart from the USS Farragut, we also have Kirk criticising Pike for "hesitating", which is something Kirk used to do until re-encountering the cloud many years later. This has made Kirk a much better leader. We could also draw comparisons with "City on the Edge of Forever" in that Pike accepting his fate parallels Kirk accepting the fact that "Edith Keeler must die." Both Pike and Keeler wanted peace, but their timing was off sealing the tragedy of both characters.
Benny Russell also returned in the two-part Season 7 opener of DS9, although that was dismissed as a "false vision" done by the Pah-Wraiths. Still, it continued the story of "Far Beyond The Stars" by having Benny now committed to a Mental Health hospital, overseen by a human doctor who looked a lot like Legate Damar.
Fun Fact (maybe Beta Canon?) - the code "destruct 0" causes the explosive charges in the saucer to go off (as seen in the movie) - but the code "destruct 1" would result in the deactivation of the magnetic containment of the ship's antimatter "fuel".
It was in "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise", and that's exactly how it went. Destruct 0 was the plain jane explosive charges throughout the ship, while Destruct 1 was deactivating the matter-antimatter intermix containment field. (Probably took longer, but made a much bigger KABOOM) Looking at it in that light, given that the Enterprise was already pretty banged up, chances are high that most of the charges had been disabled due to having to reroute power to more necessary systems...or the damage just put'em offline outright.
When Kirk called Scotty to stand by for self distruct in TMP, it probably would be done using Distruct 1. Since the plan was to take out V'Ger and the distruct method in STIII would definitely not have done much to V'Ger, the matter/antimatter comment makes more semse.
Picard used auto destruct code Picard 000 destruct 0 in episode 1 of series 2 of Picard to activate the Stargazer self destruct. That was a neat call back too I thought.
@@thomashelms4788 No, the sequence for the Enterprise-E was different: Starting with the captain, then 2 high-ranking officers confirming their idenities and authorizations, then the Destruct Sequence Alpha 1 is used.
Cool list! For me, Benny should have been #1 but 'self-sealing stem bolts' and the 'Great Material Continuum' would have been a close second. RIP Aaron Eisenberg.
My favourite callback is subtle, "It is green" by Data in Relics (TNG) is a callback to the person he's saying it to, when Scotty finds more drink in Spectre of the Gun (TOS).
Something that always stood out to me about the self-destruct sequence in Star Trek III...when you hear the computer counting down, you clearly hear it say "five" before the Klingon captain starts shouting, almost as if to emphasize that "five". Going back to the TOS episode, Captain Kirk says that once the countdown hits "five", there is no stopping the self-destruct. So, having the countdown clearly say "five" in STIII is like a subtle acknowledgement to that fact.
In season 2 of Picard, the 000Destruct0 code makes a reappearance when Picard uses it as an emergency self destruct command. As it started a mere 10 second countdown and was the only one required its likely that this instant gratification version was reserved for moments where the ship is soooo close to being taken over, there is no time left to reach a consensus about using it, much less waiting for an amount of time needed for crew to evacuate. It was reserved for "we need to blow the ship up now" kind of moments.
It’s not the codes in and of themselves, though. It’s the voices of the confirmed authorized personnel. You and I couldn’t wander onto the Enterprise bridge and just bark out those numbers and blow up the ship. It had to be the 3 top ranking ship’s officers. Kirk, Spock (Chekov in ST3 in Spock’s absence), and Scott.
Even if he did change the Destruct code, you'd need 2 other guys, whose voices the computer recognized, to initiate the destruct sequence. They could have made the code 1-2-3, but if the computer didn't recognize the voices as ranking officers on the ship, it wouldn't have done anything.
I suppose it's a matter of breeding quickly like a Terran rabbit (short pregnancy and refractory period before the next breeding can occur) vs. what feels like near-instaneous reproduction (based on McCoy's remark about tribbles being "born pregnant"). Basically? Phlox saying tribbles bred like rabbits in the 2150s doesn't invalidate what happened in "The Trouble With Edward"...it just indicates that Edward's decision to tinker with Tribble biology was a truly dumb one.
OR, TTwE breaks canon- sort of. I file it under "he made them breed even faster"; I mean, we know with the rate of reproduction from TTwT, each "generation", at max (natural) speed, is 12 hours. Edward's augmented Tribbles (wait, augments? Shouldn't Edwards have been hard arrested immediately...?) were popping out Tribbles like they were Dooplers who forgot clothes on senior photo day... EDIT: Man, I hate making typoes
Chris Pike's flash forward in SNW. McCoy's comments during ST2009 about how his ex got the planet and left him with nothing but his bones. I'm sure I read that in a novel somewhere, too.
I think Benny Russel was a human the Prophets connected to Ben Cisco for the purpose of sending a message, but also I think the people around him didn't actually look how Ben saw them. I think, to tie things back to Ben, their features were mirrored to people Ben related to. The young man who was a son figure to Benny looked like Jake. The female writer looked like Kera, The love interest looked like his girlfriend. It wasn't because they looked similar, but what they meant to him was similar. The head of the publishing company was Odo because because he was someone who played by the books as Odo did. And so on. And maybe he's a distant relation to Ben. But I'll tell you. That moment when he looks in the window and sees a reflection of Ben is something I felt to my core as a writer. Whenever I talk about being a writer on my Channel I use an image of Benny Rustle because how he connected himself to DS9 is how I feel towards my stories. There's always that eco of you in your work.
this explanation makes perfect sense and I completely agree with it, especially considering that the profits themselves appear to be people you know even though they're not.
@@dyslexictreki7087 it is quite possible. A lot of very powerful aliens in Star Trek our energy best, but they never actually address that in Cannon Guess they are leaving it to our imaginations
You state that Sarek was killed in front of his wife and Spock. The episode doesn't actually state that. It just says his wife and son. Sarek had a son before Spock, Sybok. I believe it was him that was being referenced as I can't imagine Sarek and Amanda getting together in a timeline where humans were xenophobic in the extreme. The fact he said son singular hints he only had one.
I think Benny Russell is another alternate universe version of "The Sisko" ... there is a novel in which multiple alternate universe Sisko's meet up, each one of the them having been chosen/created by the prophets. What we and our Benjamin Sisko see is that his mind connect temporarily with his other emissary counterpart. In the prime universe there is a counterpart to Benny Russell who's life was nearly the same except that he wasn't "the Sisko"
Ok, follow my logic here: Sisko is essentially 1/2 celestial being and 1/2 human. It is entirely possible that Sisko experienced Benny's life, but the details were filled in using Sisko's images and memories as the world details, Dukat and Weyoun being corrupt police, Kira the begrudged female (not really) writier. Etc. In a nutshell, I think the very essence of his prophet half instinctively reached back and allowed him to experience the events of time for a real person, but with him having a ring-side seat for the story, feeling every emotion, every bit of pain, and every ounce of sorrow for the world he experienced. And I think vice versa for Benny Russell...that he was transplanted to Sisko, and the same thing occurred as a consequence...With action there is a reaction kind of thinking.
Do you often get 2 buddies together and say your passwords? The computer knew who the officers were by voice recognition. They just had to confirm their codes to confirm the Destruct order. The sequence was completed when the Captain gives the final order to Destruct, and determines which method to use.
My dear....as an American.....I know we are not alone.....and I would welcome First contact with the Vulcans Would someone please remind her that Americans aren't a bunch of savages
I really think she needs to look at her own countries history before making these type of comments. The UK was doing this before there was even an America.
Only if it becomes reality. Colonisation of what is known as the United States of America required a genocide from the point of view of the indigenous population. Perhaps you forgot?
11:45. So password security isn't important to Star Fleet Command. You'd think that those codes would be changed once in a while, or at least after they've been said and canceled. Nope! 20 years later and the same code is still in place. It's as smart as the US nuclear missile launch code being 00000000 for 15 years.
#3- I maintain that first contact would have naturally ended as it did in the Enterprise mirror universe episode. It was only through the interference of the Enterprise D crew in First Contact that clued Zefram Cochrane in to the idea that it could be a peaceful exchange rather than a shoot ‘em up. In other words, the mirror universe is the prime universe and the Federation we all know and love exists in an alternate timeline.
Not necessary the best call back, but I really like how the President Anton Chekov's Emergency Transmission are call back to Chekov, as well as the various Starfleet Orders and Regulations that basically say they are in big trouble, so to speak.
The kinda wild part is that in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", the cancellation code for the auto-destruct was, "Code 1-2-3-continuity, abort destruct order". Continuity indeed!
If the enterprise could talk during the self-destruct scene in Star Trek 3, the ship would probably say “Well.. it’s been fun.. thank you captain Kirk, commander chekov,everyone.. you’re the best crew an old ship like me could ever have.. this is goodbye..”
Would Sarek have been married to Amanda in the alt timeline of season two of Picard? With Earth and humanity views on other species galaxy… Just a thought
I wondered about that, too. Since Q didn't say it was Amanda and Spock who witnessed it. He just said it was his wife and son. In that alternate timeline, it could have been that Vulcan Princess and Sybok whom Spock mentioned in Star Trek the Final Frontier who were the wife and son in this timeline. There is a small possibility that it could be Amanda and Spock if there were a few humans who were not xenophobic and genocidal towards aliens in that Confederation timeline, but that seems to be a small possibility if any.
That Tribble is not Lorca's Tribble. It is 32nd century version with sentient mind. He is member of Starfleet (some races due to their genetical and phisical appearance are unable to wear uniforms).
Lampshade hanging maybe, but in Trials and Tribblations the mention of Kirk causes the Time Bureau folks to shudder with the number of temporal violations Kirk had been involved in.
Benny wasn't intended to be real. It was a hallucination brought on by Pah Wraiths. They did it again trying to keep Sisko from finding an orb at the beginning of season 7.
I believe in Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, the destruct sequence has two options. 000 destruct 0, and 000 destruct 1. I believe destruct is 0 initiates self-destruct without ejecting the warp core, destruct 1 ejects the core first. I may have that backwards however. I think the notion was one would be less destructive to the surrounding environment...
I would remove that sh**y Edwarts part of this list and include the shutdown of the Enterprise D, Geordies "She has always taken care of us" was a callback to Farpoint and Admiral McCoys "Treat her like a lady and she will always bring you home"
I think modern Trek is leaning too heavily on the Member Berries. Now, the writers are purposely putting in obscure references. Picard Season 3 was full of them.
@@RedHeadKevin Picard season 3 is the only good Trek in almost 20 years. 90% of the references had a point. That was Trek. I ve never been a Fan of the D. When they blew it up 30years ago, i was fine, because i love the E. However until Ep 9 i never thought i would need to see the D, to be happy, watching a show. And yes, thats my opinion. If you think its s*** fine, that your opinion
Thank you! The only redemption possible from that piece of trash is to state that waste of life bugeyed skank was from the mirror universe. Maybe the inertial dampeners fail and she’s pancaked into a bulkhead at Warp 6.
One of the tech manuals stated that there are different destruct commands to destroy the ship in different ways. Destruct Zero sets off explosive charges that blows up the ship - but also ejects the antimatter fuel pods safely into space - as you wouldn't want a huge antimatter explosion going off in close orbit of a planet or near a space station. Destruct One would set off the antimatter, in a very big bang. Another destruct code would blow the impulse drives. One thing I always wondered about was what happened to the warp drive coils when they blew up the Enterprise in orbit of the Genesis Planet? You can see that the warp drive units themselves didn't blow up - and while the structure around them would probably have burnt up on reentry, the coils themselves, which are designed to handle enormous amount of power and heat, wouldn't be affect by reentry heat at all. The probably crashed landed somewhere on the planet, I would guess.
Star Trek: Prodigy Season one episode ‘Kobyashi’. As well as the callbacks mentioned here, it’s safe to say that the entire series is, technically a sequel to Voyager.
The final code sequence told the computer what kind of destruct sequence would be activated. I don't remember what the 0-0-0-destruct was for, but the final option of zero meant to use the explosives in key areas and to eject the core and antimatter pods. destruct-one would drop the antimatter containment, and I think destruct-two was to force a warp core breach... but i'm not sure about that one.
I'm not 100% sure but I think you're right. If my memory serves, it is listed in Mister Scott's Guide to the Enterprise. I tried finding my copy, but couldn't find it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that little obscure factoid. LLAP
Why would the holodeck pull up Odo as a great Starfleet officer? He wasn’t in Starfleet. Let me guess - holodeck pulled up 4 dead actors because they wouldn’t have to pay residuals for the audio clips?
The showrunner of DS9 wanted to end the show with it all being Benny Russell dream all along. However, that was nixed as it would of nuked the entire continunity!
000 Destruct 0 just destroys the saucer section. 000 Destruct 1 overloads the warp core and destroys the entire ship (as well as anything in its radius).
Is that why her voice made me want to scream? I didn’t notice the static, just that she inexplicably kept moving her voice to a higher register for no reason.
Was that comment about shooting the Vulcans during first contact in the mirror universe being the most American thing in Star Trek supoosed to be funny? Because it fell completely flat and was absolutely inappropriate.
don't know that the Mirror Universe First Contact made much sense; if the Vulcans came with an actual invasion force to Earth after World War III, they'd have kicked the crap of the humans and there'd have been no Terran Empire
4:30 have you people even watched the original series, I am a hundred percent sure you havent... everytime you post a video about tos you get it wrong. the animated did not FIRST describe the sehlat as something other than a teddy bear.. that TOS episode you mentioned had Spock telling Bones after he laughed about the teddy bear comment....

The head of the publishing company was Odo because because he was someone who played by the books as Odo did. And so on. And maybe he's a distant relation to Ben. But I'll tell you. That moment when he looks in the window and sees a reflection of Ben is something I felt to my core as a writer. Whenever I talk about being a writer on my Channel I use an image of Benny Rustle because how he connected himself to DS9 is how I feel towards my stories. There's always that eco of you in your work.
this explanation makes perfect sense and I completely agree with it, especially considering that the profits themselves appear to be people you know even though they're not.
@@amandamatheny3675 I hadn't thought about that. It's true. I wonder what they really look like. Are they just energy?
@@dyslexictreki7087 it is quite possible. A lot of very powerful aliens in Star Trek our energy best, but they never actually address that in Cannon
Guess they are leaving it to our imaginations
You state that Sarek was killed in front of his wife and Spock. The episode doesn't actually state that. It just says his wife and son. Sarek had a son before Spock, Sybok. I believe it was him that was being referenced as I can't imagine Sarek and Amanda getting together in a timeline where humans were xenophobic in the extreme. The fact he said son singular hints he only had one.
I think Benny Russell is another alternate universe version of "The Sisko" ... there is a novel in which multiple alternate universe Sisko's meet up, each one of the them having been chosen/created by the prophets. What we and our Benjamin Sisko see is that his mind connect temporarily with his other emissary counterpart. In the prime universe there is a counterpart to Benny Russell who's life was nearly the same except that he wasn't "the Sisko"
Ok, follow my logic here:
Sisko is essentially 1/2 celestial being and 1/2 human. It is entirely possible that Sisko experienced Benny's life, but the details were filled in using Sisko's images and memories as the world details, Dukat and Weyoun being corrupt police, Kira the begrudged female (not really) writier. Etc.
In a nutshell, I think the very essence of his prophet half instinctively reached back and allowed him to experience the events of time for a real person, but with him having a ring-side seat for the story, feeling every emotion, every bit of pain, and every ounce of sorrow for the world he experienced. And I think vice versa for Benny Russell...that he was transplanted to Sisko, and the same thing occurred as a consequence...With action there is a reaction kind of thinking.
I hoped we'll see more callbacks in season 2 of Strange New Worlds.

Enterprise's destruct codes are the most lazy passwords ever. I wonder how they did not blow themselves out of warp by mistake
Do you often get 2 buddies together and say your passwords? The computer knew who the officers were by voice recognition. They just had to confirm their codes to confirm the Destruct order. The sequence was completed when the Captain gives the final order to Destruct, and determines which method to use.
My dear....as an American.....I know we are not alone.....and I would welcome First contact with the Vulcans
Would someone please remind her that Americans aren't a bunch of savages
I really think she needs to look at her own countries history before making these type of comments. The UK was doing this before there was even an America.
@@neil0666yep ask the Guy on the streets of New Dehli or County cork about it
@@neil0666 Or the writer of the script should.
Came here to post this. It was a tasteless thing to say. But I've noticed that the writers of Trek Culture tend to be.... you can fill in the blank.
Only if it becomes reality. Colonisation of what is known as the United States of America required a genocide from the point of view of the indigenous population. Perhaps you forgot?
Rutherford: I share the love for the Delta flyer... I wonder if the Protostar's ship replicator could build one...
every time i hear the self destruct code i get chills
11:45. So password security isn't important to Star Fleet Command. You'd think that those codes would be changed once in a while, or at least after they've been said and canceled. Nope! 20 years later and the same code is still in place.
It's as smart as the US nuclear missile launch code being 00000000 for 15 years.
I had no idea about the Benny Russel one, that is amazing and top tier
Mind blown on the Benny Russell callback. Nice!
#3- I maintain that first contact would have naturally ended as it did in the Enterprise mirror universe episode. It was only through the interference of the Enterprise D crew in First Contact that clued Zefram Cochrane in to the idea that it could be a peaceful exchange rather than a shoot ‘em up. In other words, the mirror universe is the prime universe and the Federation we all know and love exists in an alternate timeline.
On number 5 you could have mentioned T'pol Sehlat in the episode the forge, she mentioned it . I think not 100% sure
Yes, she did. She said a Vulcan child is never late with their sehlat's dinner. 🥩🐱
Not necessary the best call back, but I really like how the President Anton Chekov's Emergency Transmission are call back to Chekov, as well as the various Starfleet Orders and Regulations that basically say they are in big trouble, so to speak.
Weren't there some nods to the original Star Trek writers like DC Fontana in the Benny episode on DS9?
Probably a nod to some studio execs too. The 90s were a very different time.
Doctor Pulaski being transporter phobic just like McCoy.
You really missed out by not mentioning "It is green"! Still, a nice collection of callbacks!
The kinda wild part is that in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", the cancellation code for the auto-destruct was, "Code 1-2-3-continuity, abort destruct order". Continuity indeed!
There's a joke somewhere regarding the fate of Lorca's Tribble and Captain Pike's hair.
They wanted the DS9 finale to reveal the whole series was in Benny's head, but that was denied for obvious reasons.
If the enterprise could talk during the self-destruct scene in Star Trek 3, the ship would probably say
“Well.. it’s been fun.. thank you captain Kirk, commander chekov,everyone.. you’re the best crew an old ship like me could ever have.. this is goodbye..”
Would Sarek have been married to Amanda in the alt timeline of season two of Picard? With Earth and humanity views on other species galaxy… Just a thought
I wondered about that, too. Since Q didn't say it was Amanda and Spock who witnessed it. He just said it was his wife and son. In that alternate timeline, it could have been that Vulcan Princess and Sybok whom Spock mentioned in Star Trek the Final Frontier who were the wife and son in this timeline. There is a small possibility that it could be Amanda and Spock if there were a few humans who were not xenophobic and genocidal towards aliens in that Confederation timeline, but that seems to be a small possibility if any.
That Tribble is not Lorca's Tribble. It is 32nd century version with sentient mind. He is member of Starfleet (some races due to their genetical and phisical appearance are unable to wear uniforms).
'000 destruct 0' sounded, to me, like Kirk et al just neglected to ever change the default passcode.
Lampshade hanging maybe, but in Trials and Tribblations the mention of Kirk causes the Time Bureau folks to shudder with the number of temporal violations Kirk had been involved in.
Dulmer and Lucsly (anagrams for Mulder and Scully, fun fact) do say he has the biggest file on record at Temporal Investigations.
Kirk’s destruct code - 0-0-0-destruct-0….
Picard uses it in ST: Picard, season 2, episode 1, except it’s “Picard-0-0-0-destruct-0”
Great List Trekculture. Thank you, Brie.
The last destruct sequence was also spoken by Picard in ST-Picard S2E01 for the self-destruction of the new Stargazer.
Thank you.
C'mon, no Noonian Sing references? Or ship prefix codes for that matter?
Soong.

I'm not choked up, you're choked up. (sniffle)
Benny wasn't intended to be real. It was a hallucination brought on by Pah Wraiths. They did it again trying to keep Sisko from finding an orb at the beginning of season 7.
The hand sign or vulcan salute that Spock does it was his Idea.
Weird that Odo was never in Starfleet and never had a bridge role...
A little warning would've been nice befire you almost activated my computer's self-destruct code!
With what, her voice?
What about Naked Now from TNG? Or Emissary from DS9?
Anybody got some self-sealing stem bolts for sale?
I believe in Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, the destruct sequence has two options. 000 destruct 0, and 000 destruct 1. I believe destruct is 0 initiates self-destruct without ejecting the warp core, destruct 1 ejects the core first. I may have that backwards however. I think the notion was one would be less destructive to the surrounding environment...
the self destruct codes that scotty used was spock code and the code that chekhov used was scotty codes
I would remove that sh**y Edwarts part of this list and include the shutdown of the Enterprise D, Geordies "She has always taken care of us" was a callback to Farpoint and Admiral McCoys "Treat her like a lady and she will always bring you home"
Which means it should've been Data who said it...
I think modern Trek is leaning too heavily on the Member Berries. Now, the writers are purposely putting in obscure references. Picard Season 3 was full of them.
@@RedHeadKevin Picard season 3 is the only good Trek in almost 20 years. 90% of the references had a point. That was Trek. I ve never been a Fan of the D. When they blew it up 30years ago, i was fine, because i love the E. However until Ep 9 i never thought i would need to see the D, to be happy, watching a show.
And yes, thats my opinion. If you think its s*** fine, that your opinion
Thank you! The only redemption possible from that piece of trash is to state that waste of life bugeyed skank was from the mirror universe. Maybe the inertial dampeners fail and she’s pancaked into a bulkhead at Warp 6.
Lower Decks embraces *all* of Trek history, including its contradictions, and I love it.
After decades, the crew hasn't changed their destruct passwords? How is that not a violation of Federation protocols...
Unless I am mistaken, Tribble were in Phl9x's sick bay.
I think the self-destruct code scene by three officers in First Contact was an Hommage to The Search for Spock.
One of the tech manuals stated that there are different destruct commands to destroy the ship in different ways. Destruct Zero sets off explosive charges that blows up the ship - but also ejects the antimatter fuel pods safely into space - as you wouldn't want a huge antimatter explosion going off in close orbit of a planet or near a space station. Destruct One would set off the antimatter, in a very big bang. Another destruct code would blow the impulse drives.
One thing I always wondered about was what happened to the warp drive coils when they blew up the Enterprise in orbit of the Genesis Planet? You can see that the warp drive units themselves didn't blow up - and while the structure around them would probably have burnt up on reentry, the coils themselves, which are designed to handle enormous amount of power and heat, wouldn't be affect by reentry heat at all. The probably crashed landed somewhere on the planet, I would guess.
"STOP TRAPPING PEOPLE INSIDE OF GAMES!" - Brad Boimler.
What show was at 3:09? "The Animated Series" is too broad for a search. Curious about the Scotty and Spock inclusion (looking for clip).
Star Trek: Prodigy Season one episode ‘Kobyashi’. As well as the callbacks mentioned here, it’s safe to say that the entire series is, technically a sequel to Voyager.
The final code sequence told the computer what kind of destruct sequence would be activated. I don't remember what the 0-0-0-destruct was for, but the final option of zero meant to use the explosives in key areas and to eject the core and antimatter pods. destruct-one would drop the antimatter containment, and I think destruct-two was to force a warp core breach... but i'm not sure about that one.
I'm not 100% sure but I think you're right. If my memory serves, it is listed in Mister Scott's Guide to the Enterprise. I tried finding my copy, but couldn't find it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that little obscure factoid. LLAP
Not all Americans have guns….
Most of those went well.
I think one of the absolute greatest Star Trek callbacks will always be the scene with Data and Scotty
Why would the holodeck pull up Odo as a great Starfleet officer? He wasn’t in Starfleet. Let me guess - holodeck pulled up 4 dead actors because they wouldn’t have to pay residuals for the audio clips?
Maybe Sisco is a decendent of Benny Russell that why they were connected
The showrunner of DS9 wanted to end the show with it all being Benny Russell dream all along. However, that was nixed as it would of nuked the entire continunity!
Didn't Picard use 000 destruct 0 also?
000 Destruct 0 just destroys the saucer section.
000 Destruct 1 overloads the warp core and destroys the entire ship (as well as anything in its radius).
Loved the call-back to Benny Russell, interesting to wonder just how much of it was influenced by the prophets if he was indeed a real person.
my self destruct, was 1,2, 3, 4,
Mine was 4-3-2-1-Boom.

@TrekCulture just a heads up, the URL for the article is incorrect and leads to a broken page.
theres a bit of static at the higher end of your mic
good video though
Is that why her voice made me want to scream? I didn’t notice the static, just that she inexplicably kept moving her voice to a higher register for no reason.
Was that comment about shooting the Vulcans during first contact in the mirror universe being the most American thing in Star Trek supoosed to be funny? Because it fell completely flat and was absolutely inappropriate.
don't know that the Mirror Universe First Contact made much sense; if the Vulcans came with an actual invasion force to Earth after World War III, they'd have kicked the crap of the humans and there'd have been no Terran Empire
10:17 I think they were same person for a brief moment. Reincarnation? Ancient DNA memory? Quantum entanglement?
what if benny russel was sicko's ancestor ?
Is any one really surprised that the Ferengi get ear bone(r)s.
I like janeway. Over picard. Kirk is always the bond of space.
Janeways dr, or as everyone else calls him. Wooooz
4:30 have you people even watched the original series, I am a hundred percent sure you havent... everytime you post a video about tos you get it wrong. the animated did not FIRST describe the sehlat as something other than a teddy bear.. that TOS episode you mentioned had Spock telling Bones after he laughed about the teddy bear comment.... "not precisely , doctor. On vulcan, the teddy bears are alive and they have six inch fangs" will you at least humor your audience and actually WATCH the episodes you are going to talk about?
star trek weapons have not changed over a period of time
i cant be the only one to see the reference to the katarian game in the prodigy episode kobyashi was meant as a masterbation joke, right?
How he reacted when everyone walked in, I can see that.
I was wondering the same.
