While the first season of Star Trek: Picard is ongoing, there is plenty to wrap your head around. The first foray into the Prime timeline since 2002's final The Next Generation feature film Star Trek: Nemesis has provided nostalgic and lore hungry fans a ton of new information to chew on. Best of all, the show has excelled in sneaking in easter eggs from across the entire Trek spectrum.

As we're all digesting the mysteries, conspiracies, and plots within plots on the series, let's take a moment to enjoy all the little lore nuggets we've been treated to so far.

10 Captain Picard Day

Despite being captain of a ship with dozens of families on board, Jean-Luc Picard was never that comfortable with children. Various attempts to interact with them often become comedic, to say the least. Which is why it was such a delight to see that Picard did value his relationship with the children of the late, lamented NCC-1701-D. In episode one of Star Trek: Picard, "Remembrance," Picard visits the Starfleet Museum Quantum Archive in San Francisco. There, on prominent display, is the banner from the inaugural Captain Picard Day aboard the Enterprise-D nearly thirty years prior.

9 Blue Skies

The Enterprise-D from Star Trek The Next Generation

Another Nemesis connection, of which the new series does not shy away from, is much more subtle. As "Remembrance" begins, we hear the classic Irving Berling song "Blue Skies." This song was sung by both Data and his less-than-optimal brother, B-4, in the film. When B-4 started to sing it in the final moments of the movie, it signified that perhaps Data had survived his fiery death aboard the Romulan Scimitar. Sadly, we learn in this episode that Data's memory engrams did not take with B-4, and the android ended up in a drawer at the Daystrom Institue. Not so much sky, there.

8 Irumodic Syndrome

Another subtle reference back to Picard's first television run occurs in episode two, "Maps and Legends." Picard receives a visit from an old friend - the doctor onboard the U.S.S. Stargazer (an easter egg within an easter egg!). Picard needs a clean bill of health to go back into space, but Dr. Moritz Benayoun informs Picard that it's not going to be so clean.

A problem in his parietal lobe indicates Picard is suffering from a possible neurological disorder. This could develop into something serious. Though not named, this is a nod to the diagnosis Picard receives in the alternate-future presented in The Next Generation finale, "All Good Things..."

7 The Beta Quadrant

Romulan commander (Mark Lenard) and crew

The precise location of the Romulan Empire has been the subject of a lot of speculation over the years (honestly, what in Star Trek isn't?). In episode 3, "The End Is The Beginning," we seem to have an answer. Former Picard aide du camp Raffi Musiker says the Romulan supernova that precipitated the creation of the Kelvin-timeline, and the humanitarian disaster that leads to Picard's exile from Starfleet threatened billions of people in the Beta Quadrant. This appears to be an acknowledgment of the Empire's location as posited in publishing, such as the book Star Trek: Star Charts.

6 Foreheads

Another Romulan wrinkle solved in the series is the case of the curiously changing forehead. Much like the Klingons, the Romulans underwent a bit of a design tweak in The Next Generation. This led to them morphing from their very Vulcan appearance to one accented with a pronounced forehead ridge.

In episode 3, we learn from Picard's Romulan housekeeper/ex-Tal Shiar spy that the difference is one of geography. Northerners, like her husband Zhaban, have the ridge, while southerners like herself do not. So far, it hasn't been nearly as controversial as the hair/no-hair deal on Star Trek: Discovery.

5 Like Father, Like Daughter

Data's "daughter," Soji Asha, on Star Trek Picard

We get another great, subtle easter egg in episode four, "Absolute Candor." As Soji Asha continues her work aboard the mysterious Artifact, a Borg cube disconnected from the rest of the collective, we see her employ a distinct head nod fans might recognize. The 'Hmm' movement that Data often expressed during The Next Generation finds its way down to his daughter - direct or spiritual, the jury is still out - but it's wonderful to see part of him lives on. So far, it's not the only Data trait Soji has. She's pretty quick, too.

4 Seven of Nine and the Bird of Prey

This isn't quite so subtle, but you have to respect it. In a fantastic bit of fan service and worldbuilding. Picard and crew encounter a Kirk-era Romulan Bird of Prey in orbit of the planet Vashti. It belongs to a Romulan warlord who seeks to control the system, and given the dire straits the Romulan people are in, it makes perfect sense that an old, but serviceable ship would be the best they could manage. The Bird of Prey still packs a punch, and Picard only escapes thanks to some last-minute heroics from Seven of Nine.

3 Icheb

Seven of Nine Icheb

In a deep and dramatic cut from Star Trek: Voyager, we're reintroduced to former Borg drone Icheb in episode five of Star Trek: Picard, "Stardust City Rag." Unfortunately for him and us, the reunion is short and bloody. Icheb, a drone liberated from the collective by Seven of Nine in the Voyager episode "Collective," is the victim of a kind of organ-harvesting.

His drone parts are taken out of him to be resold, and Seven has to put him out of his misery. She takes her revenge out on his killers and goes full HAMM with two phaser rifles and zero you-know-whats. Losing Icheb is deeply personal to Seven, who she refers to as her 'child.'

2 Quark's Bar

Quark in Star Trek Deep Space 9.

While on the very, not subtle casino planet of Freecloud, Picard and team come across an establishment called Quark's Bar. This is no doubt a franchise of the infamous Quark from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Quark ran the bar on the station's promenade, in addition to several not-so-legit criminal enterprises. When we last left him on the station, Quark was right where he started, at the bar. Apparently, in the last twenty years, he's branched out quite a bit. Additionally, we learn that Cristobal Rios, captain of the La Sirena, once had business with a 'Mr. Quark of Ferginar.'

1 Elnor

The best, and perhaps well-hidden, of all the easter eggs so far has to do with the new character of Elnor. A Romulan and member of the too-cool-it's-ridiculous cadre of warrior nuns the Qowat Milat, Elnor wields a sword and no-nonsense attitude. Though the Qowat Milat is traditionally female in composition, the order made an exception for the orphan boy and good thing for Picard they did. He kills a lot of bad guys dead with his sword. If you get some slightly Elvish vibes off Elnor, there's a good reason. His name, it seems, owes a great deal to Tolkien. The Elvish word for star, 'el,' forms the root of his name, along with the word for trek - 'nor.'
