When I worked as research assistant on season 2 of #StarTrekPicard, I came up with some ideas for visual references to what California was like in the summer of 2024 in #StarTrekDS9's "Past Tense". None of it was used in the end but here are my suggestions.
"Recall Chen" graffiti is seen several times in the #StarTrekPicard's "Mercy" ↖️↗️, set in April 2024. This is a callback to California Governor Chen, as mentioned in #StarTrekDS9's "Past Tense II"↙️↘️, set in August/September 2024. Nice continuity, isn't it? 😊
Man, I wish I could have gotten the Voyager-A into 3rd season of Picard :)
(Mostly because I want to stare a the model and fly around it.)
2384/2385, #StarTrekProdigy:
Asencia develops quantum tunneling/wormhole technology to destroy the Federation. She is stopped and the technology is sent to Daystrom Station.
2401, #StarTrekPicard:
Vadic steals the technology from Daystrom Station and turns it into a portal weapon. She is later stopped as well and ejects the technology.
Notice the recurring hexagons (3rd pic).
#ProdigySpoilers
The crates carried away from Asencia's lab at the end of #StarTrekProdigy's "Ouroboros II"↘️ feature the Daystrom Insitute logo, introduced in #StarTrekPicard's "Remembrance"⬆️. I wonder if they will end up in the Daystrom Station vault ("The Next Generation"↙️).
When I watched #StarTrekProdigy's "Ouroboros II"⬇️ I was elated to see that Dr. Crusher's Cor Caroli V award (from #StarTrekPicard's "The Next Generation"⬇️) was seen in her flat. As research assistant, I suggested that award ➡️ and I'm mighty proud that I thus contributed in a tiny way to Prodigy as well!😊
#StarTrekProdigySpoilers
In #StarTrekProdigy's "Ouroboros II", we only see the (vice) admiral variant of the new 2385 Starfleet uniform, originally introduced in flashback scenes in #StarTrekPicard's "The End is the Beginning"↘️. The Andorian admiral is first seen in it⬇️.
#ProdigySpoilers
Two London landmarks, the Shard and the Gherkin (though flipped), can be seen behind Dr. Crusher in #StarTrekProdigy's "Ouroboros II"⬆️. This works nicely with her stating that Jack went to school in London in #StarTrekPicard's "Seventeen Seconds"⬇️. :-)
#ProdigySpoilers
Here are shots of the First Contact Day 2385 attack on Mars, as seen in #StarTrekProdigy's "Ouroboros II"⬆️ and corresponding shots from #StarTrekPicard's "The End is the Beginning"⬇️.
#ProdigySpoilers
#StarTrekProdigy's "Touch of Grey"⬅️ features the #StarTrekPicard season 2 version of the Starfleet Command emblem ("The Star Gazer"➡️) after it had previously featured the Picard season 1 version earlier in season 2. I love these small details! :-)
#ProdigySpoilers
Mentioning previous (Living Construct battle) and ongoing events (Romulan evacuation) like that in #StarTrekProdigy's "Ascension I"↖️↗️⬅️➡️↙️ and then also mentioning the A500 androids (#StarTrekPicard's "Maps and Legends"↘️) was first-class foreshadowing! 👌👌
#ProdigySpoilers
I love that this version of the Starfleet Command logo (originally introduced in season 1 of #StarTrekPicard) was animated for season 2 of #StarTrekProdigy (here "Ascension I"), featuring a rotating delta and a circling star! :-)

Fun fact: I chose the name of the Excelsior II class USS Eureka for season 2 of #StarTrekPicard. I was looking for names similar to "Excelsior" and found out that "Excelsior" was the state motto of New York. I looked for other US state mottos and saw that "Eureka" is California's state motto. That's how the ship got its name. :-)

I love all those sweater metaphores (sweaterphores?) Wesley uses in #StarTrekProdigy's "The Devourer of All Things I" @jennifermuro! :-) It is also wonderful how a connection to #StarTrekPicard's "Farewell" is established, using Wesley's very similar words. 😊

#ProdigySpoilers
#StarTrekProdigy's "The Fast and the Curious"↘️ features a rare Borg logo appearance. So far, it has only been seen in these earlier episodes:
#StarTrekTNG: "Q Who", "TBoBW I+II", "Descent I+II", #StarTrekVOY: "Unimatrix Zero I" and #StarTrekPicard: "Penance".
#StarTrekProdigy "Into the Breach I" Spoilers [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
#ProdigySpoilers
I love how #StarTrekProdigy season 2 is showing the switch from the earlier Starfleet Command logo ("Into the Breach I"↖️↗️⬅️) to the updated one ➡️ from #StarTrekPicard, first seen in 2385 ("The End is the Beginning"⬇️). :-)

I started working on my #StarTrek lecture PowerPoint presentation today, covered everything until late 2020 when I started work as a research assistant on #StarTrekPicard. Crazy how many years I've already been a Trekkie and grateful for all the joy it has brought me over the years!
I finally caved in and got myself another Promellian battlecruiser model from @MasterReplicas_. It was used on #StarTrekPicard (in "The Star Gazer"↖️ and "The Next Generation"↗️) after all and it's my last chance to build my own ship in a bottle! Do hurry!

Happy #CaptainPicardDay! :-)
Various Eaglemoss starship models have appeared on #StarTrek in the last few years, including #StarTrekPicard's "Monsters"↖️, "Hide and Seek"↗️, "The Next Generation"↙️ and "Seventeen Seconds"↘️. Now's your last chance to get them from @MasterReplicas_ :

Both the Romulan pistols and rifles seen in the #StarTrekProdigy episode "Masquerade"⬆️ are the ones also used in season 1 of #StarTrekPicard ("Remembrance"⬇️). In the former, they fire green beams, in the latter, they fire red beams.
@DarioZanette @tbalena It later became the USS Enterprise, as confirmed by #StarTrekPicard's "Bounty".
#StarTrekDiscovery "Life, Itself" spoilers [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Among the items in Kovich's collection in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Life, Itself"↖️ is a bottle of Chateau Picard. It features the same label and vintage (2249) as Georgiou's bottle from "The Vulcan Hello"⬇️. The prop most likely comes from #StarTrekPicard's "The Star Gazer"⬆️↗️.
Two years later, in 2022, the Betazoid emblem also appeared on one of the Federation member flags seen at Starfleet Academy in #StarTrekPicard's "The Star Gazer", giving the species an official flag! I hope this flag is still somewhere in the #StarTrek archives! 8/14
One of the trophies seen in Picard's quantum archive in #StarTrekPicard's"Remembrance" is a Betazoid Loyalties award. The prop was seen at several #StarTrek exhibitions and I first noticed the trophy in @trekcore gallery of the exhibition but quickly forgot about it. 2/14
I love that the Betazoid emblem, created by fan David Bilic (aka Zeleni) 17 years ago, has now been seen in three #StarTrek shows: #StarTrekPicard ↖️↗️, #StarTrekLowerDecks ↙️ and #StarTrekDiscovery ↘️ . Learn the full story and find out why the emblem has come full circle! 1/14 🧵
I'll finally get to wear this outrageous shirt that @DaveBlass sent me for my work on #StarTrekPicard season 2+3 at #FedCon. Perfect opportunity! 🖖
If you see me in it, say Hi! :-)
