This episode has so many awesome Easter eggs, that the plot literally consists of the Titan crew splitting up, to essentially go to two different locations — Daystrom Station and the Fleet Museum — each stuffed with different kinds of Easter eggs,

Welcome back to ScreenCrush, I’m Ryan Arey, and this is all of the Easter eggs, references, and thighs you missed in Star Trek: Picard, Season 3, Episode 6, “The Bounty”

The episode begins with the Titan running away from Starfleet ships controlled by changelings, all while dropping “decoy transponders.” [clip]

Three different Starfleet ships converge around one of these transponders. These ships are the USS Trumball, which is a Duderstadt Class starship, like the Intrepid from last week, but not the same ship. It’s probably named for Doug Trumball, a VFX pioneer, who worked on Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and of course, Blade Runner.

The other ships are the USS Yorktown, which is an Echelon-class ship, and a new Excelsior II-class ship, and the USS Mestral, named after the Vulcan explorer from the Enterprise Episode “Carbon Creek.” Mestral was the greatest Vulcan of all time, mostly because he was a huge fan of I Love Lucy

Over on the Titan Jack has more bad news, as we learn that he has Irumodic Syndrome. Picard wonders if Jack got this from him, saying

This is the same neurological disorder Jean-Luc was diagnosed with in “All Good Things…” the series finale of The Next Generation. [clip, see above]

Jack asks his dad, [“how did you survive it?”] Jean-Luc reveals that he didn’t survive it, and Irumodic Syndrome is eventually what killed him in the Picard Season 1 finale. Of course, at that time, Jean-Luc was reborn into a Synthetic body, which is why Jack says…

Doug: Um. So, Jack’s seeing that red door and going all Bourne Identity because he’s got Irumodic..what’s it called?

Well, maybe. But, in “All Good Things,” some people thought Jean-Luc wasn’t really shifting thru time but, instead, thought he was just hallucinating because of Irumodic syndrome —

Doug: Okay. So in Next Gen, Beverly and Will thought Irumodic Syndrome was the reason Picard was going all loopy. And now they think Irumodic Syndrome is why Jack is so stressed out? Is Irumodic syndrome just like when people say they have really bad allergies even though they just been doing drugs?

Nobody does drugs in Star Trek.

Doug: You sure about that?

Not anymore no. As Worf and Raffi beam onto the Titan, we hear a TOS-era transporter sound effect. Raffi is also wearing a Starfleet uniform for the first time this season.

Picard greets Worf, saying “it’s been far too long.” Worf replies that it’s been, [“11 years, 5 months, 4 days.”]

This means, Worf hasn’t seen Picard in person, since about 2390 or 2391, which would have been after Worf was the captain of the Enterprise-E in the 2380s.

Doug: Wait, Worf was the Captain of the Enterprise? How come I don’t remember that?

Because you don’t read books.

In the novel The Last Best Hope, Picard left the Enterprise and Worf became the Captain. This was confirmed by the official Star Trek Instagram Logs, which state that Worf became the Enterprise-E captain around 2381, but wasn’t by 2386. Either way, Worf has seen Jean-Luc after he stopped being the captain of the Enterprise, all of which happened off-screen.

But, the number of years Worf hasn’t talked to Picard is also an Easter egg. “11 years, 5 months, 4 days,” is very similar to the exact amount of time Spock served with Captain Pike, which he stated in “The Menagerie was:
