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

Voyager referenced or included TOS and TNG characters in at least eight episodes of season 3.

  • "Flashback" was the big Sulu/Rand/Kang 30th anniversary tribute
  • "Death Wish" had Q and Riker
  • In "Alliances" Tuvok talks about Spock and recaps the events of Undiscovered Country
  • McCoy was mentioned in "Lifesigns"
  • Data was mentioned in "Prototype"
  • Sulu was mentioned in "Tattoo"
  • Picard and Moriarty were mentioned in "Alter Ego"
  • Picard was mentioned again in "Scorpion"

That's basically a third of the season, assuming I didn't forget any. And that's not even counting things like the mention of Wolf 359 in "Unity" or the koon-ut-kal-if-fee in "Blood Fever".

And that's from the show that went out of their way to make it hard to use existing concepts.

That’s right, I completely forgot about Worf, and also the O’Briens!
