That scene with robots trying to get into the Infinity is basically copy-pasted from The Matrix (a homage, whatever you want to call it). Even the weird electrical pylons on the Infinity look like Nebuchadnezzar and other ships in The Matrix.

Rumpelstielchen looks like Andy Serkis to me.

Osyraa, as she was rejected by Vance (Disco, calling out hypocrisy)
Christopher, the crystal grasped firmly (Disco again, duty in the face of suffering)

I haven't watched last season of Discovery, so I forget what these are referencing.

Solum, the wormhole collapsing (Prodigy, defiance in the face of insurmountable odds)
Una and Spock, together on the turbolift (Short Treks, the sharing of embarassing personal secrets)
La’an, as she stares at her watch (SNW, despair from holding in a secret)

Love it. I should have though of SNW phrases myself. There's also one about Ortegas:

Ortegas, I drive the ship! - That fulfilling feeling from knowing your purpose in life.

Thank you. I've edited the original post.

Nice. How do you understand this one? Simply "embarrassment"?

Mariner, daggers seeking her shoulder.

I like this one, could just mean "a running gag".

O’Brien, his suffering unending.
Shaw, his response negative.

What would these two mean? There isn't much of a metaphor, both seem too literal to me.

I am confused. Where are the first two panels from? I don’t remember Tamarians appearing in DS9.

Now that T’lyn is here my only question is why it took until the 4th season for someone like her to show up.

I guess it’s because of shorter running time => less time for supporting characters.

Reed Birney’s acting is great. His soft voice is very touching.

– Be in the moment with me.

– We look out for each other. Every night we have our forgetting.

– You are guided by your emotions. They are your truth. I find them convincing. The totem teaches that we live in each moment, embrace them.
