Hey, everyone, I'm
Mike McMahan.

2
00:00:01.626 --> 00:00:04.838
I'm the creator and EP of
Star Trek: Lower Decks,

3
00:00:04.838 --> 00:00:07.215
and I am here to talk to
you about Easter eggs.

4
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.679
You may have noticed that
there are a couple references

5
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.682
in each episode to
existing Star Trek canon,

6
00:00:15.682 --> 00:00:17.600
episodes, lore, characters,

7
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.894
and I just wanted to highlight
a couple of them for you.

8
00:00:19.894 --> 00:00:21.604
In the first episode of
Lower Decks,

9
00:00:21.604 --> 00:00:23.940
Mariner's box that she's
pushing in the middle

10
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:26.818
full of contraband that she's
bought from Douglas Station,

11
00:00:26.818 --> 00:00:29.195
you could do an entire
behind-the-scenes alone

12
00:00:29.195 --> 00:00:31.614
on all this stuff we've
packed into that box.

13
00:00:31.614 --> 00:00:33.366
The Easter egg I'd like
to talk about here

14
00:00:33.366 --> 00:00:36.494
is the captain's trinkets
behind her.

15
00:00:36.494 --> 00:00:39.080
We love that in every
Star Trek series,

16
00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:40.665
the captain has a
couple things

17
00:00:40.665 --> 00:00:44.335
that are made to personalize
their own ready room,

18
00:00:44.335 --> 00:00:46.296
and Captain Freeman
is no exception.

19
00:00:46.296 --> 00:00:48.048
She's got a series of
kind of fun

20
00:00:48.048 --> 00:00:49.716
little trinkets on her shelf.

21
00:00:49.716 --> 00:00:52.552
She's got a framed California
state flag

22
00:00:52.552 --> 00:00:54.554
in reference to the
California-class ship

23
00:00:54.554 --> 00:00:55.263
that she's a captain of.
