** Riker's holodeck experience is itself a reference to the ''very'' contentious ''Enterprise'' series finale, which is framed as a holodeck simulation of Archer's last mission as experienced by Riker.

The Klingon in the game being played was Martok, not Gowron. And while the expansion set is funny, it's unrelated to the (misattributed) actor playing the Klingon Game Master.


* The ''Bat'leths and [=BiHnuchs=]'' game is based off of the infamous ''TabletopGame/AKlingonChallenge''. There's even a Gowron expansion, referencing actor Robert O'Reily's role as the Klingon in the game, who acts similarly to Gowron.

* The plotline of Romulans traveling back in time to sabotage the Federation's history is similar to the Klingons' ploy in the [[Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse 1985 Pocket novel]] ''[[Literature/Ishmael1985 Ishmael]]'', as well as the Borg's plan in ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''.
* The cinematic uniforms' pants merge seamlessly with their shoes. Just like in the [[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture motion picture]], they're only clearly visible in a few shots.

* The mysterious Ki-Ty-Ha is revealed to be the preserved Wright Flyer from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, similar to how [[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture V'Ger is revealed to be the Voyager 6 probe]]. It first appears in the form of a giant rock monster, which was the scripted-but-never-filmed form of the bad guy entity in [[Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier Star Trek V]]. (For that matter, Ki-Ty-Ha also sounds a bit like the name of the planet, "Sha-Ka-Ri").
* The Melponar sisters are probably a reference back to the Duras sisters, recurring Klingon villains in ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' and ''Film/StarTrekGenerations''.
* When Boimler describes part of the plot to Mariner, that the Romulans intend on using Chronogami to rewrite any part of history, Mariner groans they're gonna make a cinematic alternate universe with other people playing younger versions of themselves, a jab at the Kelvin Timeline.
* Mariner also sarcastically asks if they're going to have to go back in time to assassinate Kennedy, which was a rejected concept for ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.
* The Federation science base that developed the "Chronogami" is clearly based on Space Station Regulus I, the birthplace of the Genesis Torpedo also from ''Wrath of Khan.'' Everything from the architecture to the scientist uniforms (and the scientist love interest) to that prop with the lasers on top that was in an abundance of 80s movies.
* The CGI video on the Chronogami project is based on the Genesis video from ''Wrath of Kahn'', which was groundbreaking in 1982. Rutherford comments on the impressive graphics.
* The Australian punks (especially the one with the oversized boombox) are an obvious reference to the punk from ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome''.

* When the Ferengi Dabo dealer taunts Boimler, Boimler replies that "fortune favors the bold", which is what Sisko says in the ''[=DS9=]'' episode "Favor the Bold" when he decides to initiate Operation: Return and retake the station.

* The first author note lists that "[[Film/StarTrek2009 Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence]]" before pointing out there's also cool space fights!
* The second note suggests that ExplosiveInstrumentation that happens in the series is because they use the shields to absorb energy attacks to boost their power and it works a little ''too'' well.
* Another note mocks how the computer chose the ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' version of the original ''Enterprise'', replacing Chekov with Arex.
* Mariner mocks the design of the ''Enterprise''-C, suggesting the ''Ambassador''-class was thrown together in a week. Mariner isn't too far off - the model for the C was needed for "Yesterday's Enterprise" really quickly.
