Hey, everyone,
I'm Mike McMahan.

2
00:00:01.543 --> 00:00:04.504
I'm the creator and EP
of Star Trek: Lower Decks,

3
00:00:04.504 --> 00:00:07.215
and I am here to talk to
you about Easter eggs.

4
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.178
So in Episode 2, Mariner
and Boimler end up on a planet

5
00:00:12.178 --> 00:00:14.472
that has a lot of
planets on it

6
00:00:14.472 --> 00:00:16.766
in the form of streets
that have been taken over

7
00:00:16.766 --> 00:00:18.268
by different Star Trek
races.

8
00:00:18.268 --> 00:00:20.603
There's a little Klingon
town, a Little Qo'noS,

9
00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:22.772
and a Little Andoria town,

10
00:00:22.772 --> 00:00:24.607
and Little Risa is popular.

11
00:00:24.607 --> 00:00:26.860
In each of those little areas,
there are

12
00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:28.695
Easter eggs that
reference the alien races

13
00:00:28.695 --> 00:00:30.030
that inspired them.

14
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:30.989
My favorite might be

15
00:00:30.989 --> 00:00:35.952
that there's the in accurately
translated Klingon text,

16
00:00:36.244 --> 00:00:39.414
a Little Qo'noS sign above
the entrance

17
00:00:39.414 --> 00:00:41.166
to the Klingon
part of town.

18
00:00:41.166 --> 00:00:45.170
And then of course, the
fountain in Little Risa

19
00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:48.882
is a horga'hn, which, it means
you're gonna have a good time.

20
00:00:48.882 --> 00:00:50.800
So if you dig through
that episode, you'll see

21
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:53.303
a lot of references to
the different alien races.
