DS9! remember DS9?? It’s the one you all say is the good one after the other one that’s best and we also did a take on, now remember DS9 and check out how this show is more DS9! Did I mention DS9???

Keeping in mind DS9 itself opened on a direct TNG tie in, sprinkled TNG villains through the first season, then brought back every Klingon captain from TOS, and finally just went all in and edited everyone into a TOS episode so Dax could swoon over Spock’s eyes and Sisko could sneak Kirk’s autograph…

Every Trek show since the original has referenced the others like this. I think it’s good fun.

They also just introduced one of the main characters of TNG in season 4, even referencing a TNG movie. It is wild to assume Star Trek was never self-referential lol

Trials and Tribble-ations is a masterwork. Star Trek's penchant to self reference can make great things. But it can also make episodes like many of the Enterprise ones.
