Reference jokes they should've done

[mithril]

I do not think any references have been made to Mughi,their big alien cat "pet". unfortunately

one of the ships in a ship of the line calendar was named after it.

and given how Sehlat's look, i'm surprised we didn't get references..

Am I right in seeing that Prodigy was the one to do the Star Trek fan culture episode with the Enderprizians rather than Lower Decks going back to Sigma Iotia II or somewhere?

you are correct.. though IMO i think that Prodigy was the better place for it. since it allowed the episode to not only expose new viewers to TOS in a positive light, but also to use it to give a social lesson about cooperation, acceptance, and morality, and not judging people. (which is part of the lesson the prodigy crew needed to learn about starfleet values.)

as opposed to how lower decks probably would have handled it, which would likely have been summed up as "look at all this silly TOS stuff, isn't it funny how iotans just copy stuff", which would overpowered any message the episode was trying to give the viewer.
