LDS ref!
Tattoo ref!
Inside of a 2390s badge
Murf says mushroom and disco in his first sentence
Since Gillian can talk to them, maybe they managed to translate what the whale probe said a century earlier
Sea Murf is so cute
Where's that spider from? Tuvok and Tom were trapped with spiders, but they were not metallic.
OMG its stars are full!

Really liked the remix VGR theme when the bridge crew backs Janeway over Jellico's orders and she heads to the Ready Room. Must have rewound it five times.
I love the subtle references. This episode has given us a Cerritos and named one of the Whales Gillian. This is the kind of fan service I like.

Another great episode. Still trying to not be confused by the Timey Whimy stuff, but we're starting to get the mystery clear. Love the animation on this show, especially when Gwyn was going through her jumps from the wristband (or whatever they were to discover the map).
I honestly was afraid that I was overhyping calling Prodigy the best Trek of the modern era, but every episode there is something I enjoy and the pace is amazing for being only 23-24 minutes long. Maybe the binge watch is helping, but I don't think the series has lost a step in it's sophomore season.

Honestly they flip back and forth for me. It depends on what my mood is, and of course my mood now is all about Prodigy.
Thisc s awesome!
That Lower Decks reference had me grinning like an idiot. So cool
Nice reference to ST: Discovery
Murf needs a movie, he's so cute and hilarious. His first sentence being mushroom and disco sounded about right.
So we got both DIS and LDS references - yay!

Humpback whales in cetacean ops is so effin' cool. Now I'm wondering if Murph is from the species that made the whale probe from STIV.
Murf swimming with Gillian was adorable.
In perhaps the first episode of this season of Prodigy to feel like something resembling an episode, the kids try and figure out how to understand what Murf is saying.
I am thrilled, TBH, with this development. The show last season was all over the place in its treatment of Murf, often depicted as some pet, mascot, or similar non-sentient animal. Yet the beginning of this season seemed to indicate despite the inability of anyone to comprehend him he was being treated as not only a sophont, but somehow on track for Starfleet Academy like the rest of the kids?!? Once they crossed that rubicon, they had to begin depicting him as a character, and we know he's been talking to someone who looked suspiciously like Future Guy, so...
I like that The Doctor is used as something of a foil/low level antagonist here. The show is pretty self-aware about the annoying elements of the character. I also like that Rokk is somewhat of a reluctant accomplice in everything, wanting to be a model cadet-in-training and avoid the trouble the others have gotten into. Cetacean ops is awesome (I'm glad it's not just a gag from Lower Decks any longer). There's a ton to love here, and very little of the annoying aspects that dented some of the other episodes this season.
If there's anything I can fault the season for so far, it's the uber-serialized nature of this season (as opposed to Season 1) means that there really aren't episodes with distinct themes or messages. This was a bit more distinct than the last one, since it felt like the start of a new act, but everything is still a bit too smeary for me.

Might be a reference to her role as Arachnia in the Captain Proton episodes.
So we got the picture of Janeway and Molly (with Mark cut out)
A model of Voyager
Chakotay's stone
Janeway's Voyager Badge
A Hand Mirror. TrekCulture thinks it might be a reference to the VOY novel Distant Shores, Chakotay gives her one in that book. It clearly means something as she lays her hand on it pretty long.
SFA Diploma
Voyager Hand Phaser
A crystal spider, might be a reference to her playing Arachnia
The symbol on the disc the seal for the City of Bloomington, Indiana, Janeway's birthplace (Credit to TrekCulture for getting that info from Aaron)
This episode says Chakotay's homeworld is Trebus, which was established in Jeri Taylor's "Pathways" novel.

Apparently the Bloomington seal was designed by Masao Okazaki.
