I do also love the subtle audio references as well.

Like the random gorn fight music playing if something dramatic and fighty happens.

Yes! Or the door opening/closing wooshes.

Yep even the occasional jankily sliding door the crew notice like the original trek and it’s not so smooth hand operated doors.

Futurama is the reason I finally started watching Star Trek.

As I watched, I saw all the references that Futurama had made which endeared both to me so much more. ☺️

You can tell how much all those nerds on the Futurama writing staff love star trek. And rightfully so!

Was that the Star Trek Wars or the Star Wars Trek?
