Apologies if anyone has mentioned this, but in the last flashback with the cadets, when Jack asks Picard if he ever wanted a family: that’s the actual no-win scenario in this episode. Because Picard doesn’t know who Jack is-and because he’s been regaling these young Starfleet officers with tales of escaping certain death-he says that Starfleet is the only family he’s ever needed. In a way, this was a Kobayashi Maru-the conditions of the “test” virtually guaranteed Picard would fail it by answering it as he did.

This is a deep Easter Egg that requires very specific knowledge of where Patrick Stewart was born and grew up. Which is the town of Mirfield in West Yorkshire, England and I grew up in a neighboring village. The UK dish of Fish and Chips is often made with Cod. However, in West Yorkshire, it is traditionally made with Haddock. It is a very specific regional variation. Picard says to the Starfleet Cadet's 'Now if you don't mind, my Haddocks getting cold' just before he sees Jack in 10 Forward. A nice nod to Patrick's heritage and not one you know unless you 'were from round here lad'.

The similarities between Quint and Shaw are intentional. Quint was played by actor Robert Shaw. In a Ready Room interview between host Wil Wheaton and actor Todd Stashwick, (Captain Shaw), they discuss the monologue Shaw delivered, and compared it to Quint's Indianapolis monologue from the movie Jaws. Wheaton commented that they couldn't name Stashwick's character "Quint" because that would have been too on the nose. Shaw differs from Quint in that Shaw is obsessed with safety and following protocol. He's adverse to taking risks that could endanger the lives of his crew, and that of course clashes with Picard and Riker's command styles, which heavily involves playing high stakes poker with their enemies.

Yup. This should have always been season 01. I wish they'll have a scientific in-story method that whatever happened the previous seasons will be erased from canon. Either a time jump or something similar that stops Picard from ever ever going on the dumb adventures he did.

Amazing episode. Now this is what Star Trek is about. Putting your heads together and solving a problem. Finding a way to survive. This is classic Star Trek and great backstory about Picard's son.

Honestly out of all the captains currently on star trek tv shows right now. Riker is the best! I know we’ve seen him command the Enterprise, or on that episode of Lower Decks, but it was so amazing to fully see him being a captain, and in way we hoped Riker would be.

The best thing about this episode was learning that there is still Irish Whiskey available in early 25th century.

He finally got to do it! In TNG Season 2's "Contagion", as the ships systems kept fluctuating due to the Iconian program, in a standoff with the Romulans in the Neutral Zone, Riker asks, "if it should become necessary to fight, could you arrange to find me some rocks to throw at them?!" HE THREW THE ROCK!

The alert that sounded when they cut power to life support was the self-destruct alarm of the Nostromo in Alien.

When Riker ordered the life support to be turned off and transferred to the helm, the alarm sound you hear is from the film Alien when Ripley activates the Nostromo self destruct. A non Trek easter egg there.

So, this is a debatable one. When Seven finds the bucket she finds it behind a light panel. I think this is a call back to OG ST on the episode with Kodos, Conscience of the King, I think it was called. When Kirk finds the phaser that was about to overload in his quarters it was because he saw its silhouette on the light panel like Seven did. They were even both square and opened up similarly.

This is how much of a geek I am. I instantly recognized the star date for Wolf 359. Also, if this becomes Riker Maneuver number 3 then he has 2 tractor beam maneuvers under his belt.

Biggest Easter egg was revealed by episode director Jonathan Frakes: Captain Shaw’s big monologue about Wolf 359 was an homage to Quint’s monologue about surviving the sinking of the USS Indianapolis from “Jaws”. (Helps that Quint was played by Robert Shaw.) Frakes admitted that “Jaws” is his favorite movie and he watches it once a year.

The show keeps getting better with each episode. This is its own show yet takes the best of TNG and TOG, a good amount of DS9's Dominion Wars, and pulls from movies like the Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, and The Undiscovered Country. Jonathan Frakes does an amazing job directing. I love the idea that everyone has a role to play and that the reason they win is that all these very different people with different strengths who need to come together, do come together and work together to win. That's an enormous part of Star Trek; it seemed forgotten until Picard S3.
