Star Trek Picard: Every Easter Egg & Hidden Reference From 'The Impossible Box'

Star Trek: Picard's sixth episode "The Impossible Box" is here and it's a big one.

Picard finds himself on a Borg cube for the first time in 30 years, Captain Rios finds himself in bed with Agnes Jurati, and Raffi just plain finds herself in bed.

Once again Star Trek: Picard serves up a ton of nostalgia and callbacks to Trek's past, while forging ahead with its own story, deepening our understanding of the titular character, and creating a bit of lore in the process. Building on last week's reveal that Picard still isn't over his encounter with the Borg, this week he faces his demons and discovers that, like himself, they've changed.

Let's unbox this thing, shall we?

Much like Picard's nostalgia vault from episode one, "The Impossible Box" dumps a ton of references on us all at once. In preparation for his trip to the Artifact, Picard calls up the search terms "Artifact", "treaty", and "the Borg" and a holographic LCARS interface appears with the 2399 equivalent of Google Image search results.

The images the computer pulls up are just straight up screen caps from previous Star Trek episodes and movies including:

• The USS Enterprise-E approaching the Borg cube from Star Trek: First Contact

• The Romulan Continuing Committee on Romulus from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges"

• A Borg drone from Star Trek: First Contact

• A younger, fully Borg Hugh from the TNG episode "I, Borg" followed by Hugh as he looks in Star Trek: Picard

• 24th century Paris from the DS9 episodes "Homefront" and Paradise Lost" for some reason

• Reclaimed Borg drones from the Star Trek: Picard episodes "The End is the Beginning" and "Absolute Candor"

• Locutus of Borg from TNG's "Best of Both Worlds"

By the way, that last one was actually mirrored so the holographic image could superimpos Locutus' Borg implants over Picard's face, but it works so we forgive it.
