Star Trek Picard: Every Easter Egg & Hidden Reference From 'Stardust City Rag'

12. Eye-cheb

Instead of the standard Star Trek: Picard flashback set 14 years ago, "Stardust City Rag" opens with a flashback to planet Vergessen... 13 years ago. Here, we see a young Starfleet officer having an eye ripped out and it's quickly revealed that this is Icheb, one of the children of the Borg from the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Collective".

Icheb was the only Borg kid to return with Voyager to the Alpha Quadrant and developed a strong bond with Seven of Nine. In the episode "Imperfection", Icheb actually donated his cortical node to save Seven's life, which explains why the butcherer in this episode can't seem to find it.

In "Stardust City Rag" Icheb is played by Casey King though the character was originally played by Manu Intiraymi in Star Trek: Voyager. This isn't the only legacy character that's been recast for this episode, but feel free to check out the new actor's Instagram. New Icheb's got abs.
