Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 5 Easter Eggs Defined

Ro first appeared within the TNG episode “Ensign Ro,” and like Keiko, Guinan, and Miles O’Brien, turned a recurring semi-regular on TNG, beginning with season 5. Picard and Riker initially opposed her carrying her Bajorian earring, however on the finish of “Ensign Ro,” Picard allowed it. 

Krinn (Kirk Acevedo)

The Vulcan gangster, Krinn, is performed by Kirk Acevedo, who beforehand starred within the Syfy model of 12 Monkeys as Ramse. He joins fellow 12 Monkeys alums in Picard season 3, together with Todd Stashwick (Shaw), Aaron Stanford (Sneed), and showrunner Terry Matalas.

Krinn sports activities green-blood-stained scar and an IDIC medallion. The IDIC was first launched within the TOS episode “Is There, in Reality, No Magnificence?” However that is the primary time we’ve seen a mobster put on one.

“You Do Bear in mind Guinan, Don’t You?”

When Jean-Luc pulls a phaser on Ro, he references the concept that Guinan would stash phasers behind the bar. This references the TNG episode “Evening Terrors,” by which Guinan busted out an enormous phaser rifle from behind the bar in Ten Ahead on the Enterprise-D. Jean-Luc asking Ro if she remembers Guinan is partially as a result of he thinks she’s a shapeshifter, but in addition as a result of Ro had a friendship with Guinan that started in “Ensign Ro” and continued in episodes like “Rascals,” once they had been each become kids by a transporter accident.

Admiral Janeway

Picard needs Ro to take her findings to Admiral Janeway. This, in fact, references Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager, and extra not too long ago, Prodigy. Janeway was as an admiral as of 2379 in the course of the occasions of Nemesis, and now appears to be a really high-ranking official inside Starfleet. What her actual place is in 2402 stays unclear.

Kahless Method 

Worf references the Klingon messiah Kahless when he talks a few method he used to faux loss of life. Kahless was first talked about within the TOS episode “The Savage Curtain,” however appeared extra prominently as a clone within the TNG episode “Rightful Inheritor.”
