But a few sequences of the Enterprise flying close to the surface of a planet and another where asteroids bounce off the shields are new. Opening Credits Changeįor the most part, the vibe of the SNW opening credits matches with season 1. Now, those classic earrings are back, indicating that this Uhura is getting closer and closer to the timeline of the classic show. Celia Rose Gooding is also wearing small green earrings similar to the ones she wore in the season 1 finale, “A Quality of Mercy.” At that time, these emulated a similar style worn by Nichelle Nichols in TOS.

Speaking of badges: Uhura is no longer wearing the cadet-style badge (previously established in canon for Tilly in Discoveryseason 1.) And that’s because she’s no longer a cadet, but instead, a full ensign. This is likely a nod to the idea from TOS that different ships have different insignia. Various crewmembers from Starbase One (including Carol Kane’s Pelia) all rock Starfleet insignia that look a little different, or relative to the standard badges worn by the Enterprise crew. Subscribe Different Style Starfleet Badges for the Starbase One Crew Members But from Voyager to Lower Decks, this classic (fictional) instrument is everywhere in Trek canon.Ī bit later in the episode, Uhura shows interest in Spock playing music, foreshadowing their occasional musical collaborations in TOS. Spock’s harp is a big deal throughout Trek canon, appearing for the first time in the episode “Charlie X,” and, in Spock’s hands, for the last time in The Final Frontier. In real life, the prop was designed for The Original Seriesby Wah Chang, a brilliant prop maker, model-maker, and mask-maker, who built and designed several objects for TOS, including the classic tricorder, the Romulan Bird-of-Prey, the M-113 salt vampire, and the classic Gorn. In terms of chronological appearances of Spock’s Vulcan lute, this appears to be the first time he plays the instrument as part of his regular routines. This feels like a roundabout reference to Kirk in The Wrath of Khanwhen David referred to Kirk as an “overgrown boy scout.” (Even though Kirk was never a boy scout! Maybe Pike really was?!) The Origin of Spock’s Vulcan Lute (or Vulcan Harp or Lyre)īecause Spock’s cognitive blocks against his emotions are in a state of flux, M’Benga prescribes him a unique stress reliever: making music. Number One says, “There’s the boy scout in your again,” when Pike says he’s going to fight for what’s right. The Enterprise is back at Starbase One, which is where we saw the ship at the end of the very first episode “Strange New Worlds,” and also where the Enterprise was docked in the Season 1 episode “Spock Amok.” The fast-moving crafts that we see next to the classic shuttle might be earlier models of those cadet training ships that Welsey Crusher crashed in The Next Generation classic, “The First Duty.” We know cadets love to fly fast near the gas giants! “The Boy Scout” And the events of this episode firmly establish that Chapel and M’Benga did serve in the war. Because Uhura is a cadet, it feels unlikely she served in the Klingon War, but Ortegas might have.
(We know Boyce was the chief medical officer during “The Cage.”) Also, neither Ortegas nor Uhura was on the Enterprise back then. Of note here: M’Benga and Chapel were almost certainly not part of the crew of the USS Enterprise during the first five-year mission that Pike references in this flashback/recap. Presumably, we’re still around 2259 or 2260 in season 2. Chronologically, the Klingon War began in 2256, which puts it about two years after the events of “The Cage.” Discoveryseason 2 ended in 2258, and Strange New Worlds season 1 began in roughly 2259. We see the USS Shenzhou drifting in space next to the Klingon Sarcophagus Ship, fighting a different Klingon ship, as well as Captain Pike rocking his blue Discovery uniform, mentioning that the Enterprise itself was absent for the Klingon War. Klingon War RecapĪlthough Anson Mount says “Last season on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” the recap also includes several shots from Discoveryseason 1 and season 2. These were the moments that probably made you say “is that…?” or “what did they mean by…?” It’s a big episode, with lots of callbacks, so start working on your warp catchphrase, and let’s hit it. Here are the most obvious, stand-out easter eggs and references in the episode.
So, where does one start with references in S trange New Worlds? For the Season 2 premiere, “The Broken Circle,” we tried to make it easy.
