Easter Eggs You Missed In Star Trek: Picard Episode 9

In the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Picard's first season, La Sirena finally reaches its destination, Soji learns the truth of her origins, and Picard sees an unexpected familiar face. Here are all the Easter eggs and references you might have missed in "Et in Arcadia Ego Part I."

When La Sirena finally arrives at Soji's homeworld, Soji reveals that the planet's synthetic inhabitants call it "Coppelius." This is almost assuredly a reference to the 19th century ballet Coppélia, in which a young man falls in love with a life-size doll.

In the ballet, the doll's inventor, Dr. Coppelius, plans to sacrifice the young man in order to bring his creation to life. However, the young man's fiance manages to save him by dressing up as the doll, and using Coppelius' other creations as a distraction so that the young couple can escape. The first part of the plot sounds eerily similar to what Picard and his crew encounter on the planet Coppelius, where Dr. Alton Inigo Soong is willing to sacrifice the lives of all "organics" in order to ensure the continued existence of his sentient synthetic creations.

Shortly after La Sirena first arrives at Coppelius, Narek's ship also emerges from the transwarp conduit and immediately begins to attack. After trading shots back and forth, Narek's ship suddenly seems to be experiencing some sort of technical malfunction, with its cloaking device glitching out and Narek's life signs quickly fading. Picard orders Narek beamed aboard La Sirena, but it turns out that it was all just a distraction. The ship they were seeing was actually a projection of Narek's cloaking device. Really, his ship was behind La Sirena, and he exploited their attempt at mercy to attack them again.

While the mechanics are different, Narek's strategy is extremely reminiscent of the "Picard Maneuver," a battle tactic Picard invented while commanding the Stargazer that created the illusion of a second ship. Keep watching the video to see all the Easter eggs you missed in Star Trek: Picard episode 9!
