• The episode opens with flashback featuring a chyron informing us the stardate is 61914.3, setting the scene sometime between “Last Flight of the Protostar, Part II”, and “Ascension, Part I”, assuming stardates increase with the passage of time, as they show.

    • We get to see Wesley captured by Ascencia and the Vau N’Akat, which was revealed to be his status in “Ascension, Part I”.

• Gwyn records the current stardate as 62083.5 in her personal log.

• ”Sounds like they’re…playing poker.” We’ve seen that the senior staff of both the USS Enterprise D and the USS Cerritos enjoy playing poker in their off hours.

• With the expedition of Zero, the Protogies all return to wearing their civilian clothes from season one.

• The Protogies have an emergency site to site transporter with power for one beam-out. The appearance looks to be based on a similar device used by the Tom Paris of an alternate universe in "Non Sequitur".

    • Data used a similar

• ”Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.” The middle of the battle against the Rev-1 seems like an odd time for Murf to imitate someone complaining about “Star Trek: Discovery”, but he does seem to have things handled.

• ”You talk too much, Mr. Crusher.” Ascensia echoes Captain Picard’s sentiments from “Datalore”.

• We see the incurser weapon embedded in the hull of the USS Voyager A, not dissimilar from the Jem’Hadar torpedo that struck the USS Defiant in “Starship Down”, or the photon torpedo that took a bite of the USS Enterprise in “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2”

• Tysess invokes an Andorian deity named Uzaveh, that has nor previously been mentioned on screen, but did originate in the DS9 novel, Paradigm.

• The incurser releases a wave of temporal radiation, which rapidly ages Tysess. Captain Picard’s hand experienced the same fate in “Timescape” when he reaches out to examine a bowl of rapidly rotting fruit.

    • Despite his rapid aging, Tysess’ hair remains the

• Dal records the stardate as 61945.4

• ”You hear that, Grom? Let’s cut the chitchat and concentrate.” Much her fellow Lurian, Morn, the Nova Squadron cadet has the gift of the gab.

• The Nova Squadron cadets are practicing a maneuver called the Boothby Supernova, named for the venerable Starfleet Academy groundskeeper, who perished in such a maneuver, as per “In the Flesh”.

• The Doctor informs Zero that their organic body cannot sustain much more damage without ceasing to function altogether. Zero was informed their body would break down if they left Ovidia IV in “Is There in Beauty No Truth?”

    • The Doctor claims they’ll be able to make Zero a new body, and thanks to recent developments, that body will be able to experience physical sensation. In “Return to Tomorrow” the crew of the USS Enterprise was working to build android bodies for the Arretans, but those bodies would not be able to feel.

• The episode title, “Cracked Mirror”, follows the practice of referencing mirrors in titles of episodes where the mirror universe is visited, going back to the very first, “Mirror, Mirror”.

    • Prior to “Cracked Mirror”, there were eight mirror universe episodes, alluding to mirrors in the titles:

      • “Mirror Mirror”
      • Through the Looking Glass”
      • “Shattered Mirror”
      • “Reflections”
      • “In a Mirror Darkly, Part I”
      • “In a Mirror Darkly, Part 2”
      • “Mirrors” - this episode does not visit the mirror universe, but does largely take place on a mirror universe ship that transported refugees to the prime universe

    • There are nine mirror universe episodes that don’t mention mirrors in the title, as well as the “Section 31” film. This

• The episode title refers to the hip hop group, A Tribe Called Quest, which Data mentioned as being his favourite recording artists in the TNG episode, “Family”.

    • Tribbles first appeared in “The Trouble with Tribbles”.

• Rok-Tahk refers to the tribble by it’s scientific name, tribleustus ventricosus, which was first mentioned in the short, “The Trouble with Edward”.

    • Keiko O’Brien’s classroom in DS9 had a diagram of tribble labeled polygeminus grex, which was taken from the “Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual”, published in 1977.

• ”A tribble outbreak once brought the Klingon Empire to its knees.” Worf mentioned in “Trials and Tribble-ations” that tribbles were once considered mortal enemies of the Empire.

• ”But tribbles don’t have teeth.” We saw a tribble with teeth in the PIC episode, “The Bounty”, but that was genetically modified.

• Giant tribbles approaches the Protogies and Chakotay. In the TAS episode, “More Tribbles, More Tro

• Janeway records the stardate 61898.2 in her vice admiral’s log.

• Janeway recounts the events of “The Devourer of All Things, Part II”

• It’s Doctor Crusher! From Star Trek! Doctor Crusher is voiced by Gates McFadden, who played the character on TNG.

    • ”She’s surprisingly hard to track down these days.” It was revealed in “Seventeen Seconds”, Doctor Crusher left Starfleet after learning she was pregnant with Jack.

• ”Been a while since the Shinzon incident.” Admiral Janeway did order the USS Enterprise E to Romulus in “Star Trek Nemesis”, but she didn’t have any interaction with Doctor Crusher in the film.

• ”Last I heard, he was busy with the Romulan evacuation.” We learned in “Remembrance” that Picard left the Enterprise E to to command Starfleet’s rescue armada ahead of the Romulan sun going supernova.

• There have been two Starfleet ships named for Archimedes, one mentioned in the Short Treks episode, “The Brightest Star”, and the Obena-class ve

• The episode picks up where the pervious episode, “The Devourer of All Things, Part II” left off, with the Protogies having located an older, grizzled, bearded Chakotay on a remote world. Chakoldtay immetately throws the CHAH-mooz-ee stone Dal was holding out to him at the end of the previous episode over his shoulder and goes back about the business of living off the land.

    • We see Chakotay whittling a chess set. Though as alternate dimension Kirk puts it in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, the old fashioned, two-dimensional version, ”Basically idiot’s chess.”

• It’s the Emergency Janeway Hologram! From Star Trek! The EJH…died for lack of a better term when she sacrificed herself in “Supernova, Part 2”, but thanks to time travel, she’s back.

• We learn that from Chakotay’s perspective, it’s been ten years since he was rescued from Solumn by the Protogies in “Who Saves the Saviors”.

• Chakotay explains that he and Adreek stranded the USS Protostar to pr

• The episode opens in the office where Wesley took the Protogies at the end of “The Devourer of All Things, Part I”, which appears to be based on Gary Seven’s office from “Assignment: Earth”.

    • Wesley confirms that it is not the actual office from “Assignment: Earth”, but a replica mimicking that office to train the Travellers’ field agents.

    • The newspaper in the office has a headline reading “Apollo VII Launches.” There was an Apollo VII mission patch displayed behind the bar of the 602 Club in “First Flight”.

      • The story of “Assignment: Earth” did feature a rocket launch, but that was for an orbital nuclear weapon platform, which Gary Seven was able to sabotage and detonate.

    • When Wesley turns around the bookcase revealing a hidden computer identical to the Beta 5 computer as seen in “Assignment: Earth”

• Commander Tysess swears on the Wall of Heroes to protect Maj’el with his life. The
