Star Trek: 18 Easter Eggs In The Lower Decks Season Two Trailer
9. Throwing Latinum Around
Mariner throwing bars of gold pressed latinmum in the faces of a group of surly Nausicaans is, let's face it, a very Mariner thing to do.
She and Tendi appear to be in a purple-lit bar identical to the one at the Bonestell Recreation Facility where a young Cadet Jean-Luc Picard was stabbed through the heart by Nausicaans in TNG's "Tapestry". Faithful to "Tapestry", there are the cargo containers covered by nets and a full dom-jot table here which probably means someone is going to say "human, play dom-jot", they just have to.
In the background of the bar, by the way, is a Benzite and two "tailheads" – an alien race that never got an official name that were a staple of DS9's Promenade and also present at Bonestell in "Tapestry".
