• This is the 40th, and ostensibly final episode of “Star Trek: Prodigy”.

    • During the episode, Wesley Crusher tells Dal that the reason the Protogies have to stick together ”hasn’t happened yet.” Maybe we’ll get some more PRO stores in comics or novels.

• The swarms of Loom flowing out of the wormhole above Solum is reminiscent of the extragalactic synths reaching through the portal in the PIC season one finale, “Et In Arcadia Ego, Part 2”.

• ”Once more into the breach,” Janeway misquotes “Henry V”. General Chang got the quote right in “Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country”, and a season seven DS9 episode also used the correct quote as its title.

    • In “Equinox, Part II”, Janeway described a message meant to communicate with nucleogenic lifeforms as ”Not exactly Shakespeare,” and apparently she’s an expert on that topic.

• The EMH back-up module was first mentioned in “Living Witness”.

• Dal places his combadge on the floor of the USS Protostar’s bridge for the younger Rok-Tahk to find, as she did in “Lost and Found”.

• We get a mini-clipshow, featuring scenes from: “Lost and Found”, “Starstruck”, “Dreamcatcher”, “Terror Firma”, “Time Amok”, “Supernova, Part II”, “Asylum”, “All the World’s a Stage”, “Crossroads”, “Masquerade”, “Preludes”, “Last Flight of the Protostar, Part I”, “Observer’s Paradox”, “Is There in Beauty No Truth”, “The Devourer of All Things, Part I”, “Last Flight of the Protostar, Part II”, “Cracked Mirror”,

• We see Tars Lamora again as the Protostar sets down. The series began here with the Protogies as slaves in “Lost and Found”.

• Janeway records the stardate as 62134.8 in her personal log.

• The crate two Vau N’Akat load on to a shuttle has the Daystrom Institute logo on it.

• Doctor Crusher’s desk features a plaque commemorating her away team being declared honourary citizens of Cor Caroli V, as mentioned in Allegiance. The plague was previously seen in “The Next Generation”.

• Doctor Crusher introduces Wesley to his brother, who we learned about in “Disengage”. The scene cuts before we see Doctor Crusher asking Wesley if he can use his Traveler powers to alter time so she wouldn’t be 60 year old woman raising a toddler whom she conceived with a 79 year old man who doesn’t even know he’s a father.

• Zero and Maj’el do Vulcan finger touching in a disgusting public display of affection. The practice was first seen in “Journey to Babel”.

• ”Jankom is practically royalty. Again!” Jankom first decided he was Tellarite royalty in “Asylum” after learning Tellarites were founding members of the Federation.

• ”I heard Admiral Janeway first wanted to be a science officer.” Janeway did serve as science officer on the USS Al-Batani.

• A display shows news coverage of the synthetic attack on the Utopia Planitia shipyards, as seen in “Maps and Legends” and “Children of Mars”.

• The Starfleet admirals we see have switched to new uniforms, first seen in the flashback in “The End is the Beginning”. Both Picard and Raffi were wearing the uniform there, despite her not being an admiral.

• Jellico states that due to the synth attack on Mars, Starfleet has lost personnel and materiel such to the point that they have so few resources they don’t have enough combadges to upgrade half the fleet. In “Maps and Legends” Admiral Clancy stated that they didn’t have enough ships left to maintain the Federation and continue to assist in the Romulan evacuation.

    • They apparently do have enough resources for new uniforms, though.

• Jellico claims Picard did not take the news of Starfleet halting their aid of the Romulan evacuation well. We learned in “The End is the Beginning” that he resigned his commission in protest.

• Janeway assigns the Protogies to crew a new Protostar-class starship, the USS Prodigy NCC-81084.

    • The Protogies are also given field commissions to ensign.

    • The Emergency Janeway Hologram refers to the Prodigy as the “Protostar”.

• The EJH has been upgraded from training hologram to emergency training hologram, an idea the Doctor first suggested in “Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy”, which he alludes to.

• The Protogies get an entirely new, entirely hideous uniform of their own to end the series.
