Ontario is reporting 65 new deaths linked to COVID-19 as the number of children under the age of five getting vaccinated against the virus is even lower than the relatively low number many experts had expected.

In the third episode of the third season of “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” called “Mining the Mind’s Mines,” the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos has been tasked with rescuing a team of geologists from a planet populated by silicon-based life forms called the Scrubble. Commander Ransom (Jerry O’Connell) bemoans the fact that Federation scientists often play fast-and-loose with safety, and it’s always Starfleet who has to come clean up their research missions when they go afoul. 

On the Scrubble planet, mysterious glowing crystal orbs read a victim’s thoughts, briefly manifest their deepest desires in the real world, and then turn their victims into statues. Throughout the episode, characters will have to come up with quick, embarrassed excuses when some of their deepest desires appear in front of their peers. Ensign Mariner (Tawney Newsome), for instance, can’t help but reveal that she’s developed feelings for her Andorian co-worker Jennifer. Ensign Boimler’s deepest desires involve his superior officer asking him to help out in an important mission; it’s kind of sad that even in fantasy, Boimler is never the one in charge. 

As is the mission statement of “Lower Decks,” “Mind’s Mines” is full of fun “Trek” references and clever Easter Eggs that an astute Trekkie will spot. Here are a few the keen eyes at /Film spotted.

Seductive, Mind-Reading, Shape-Shifting Alien Brain Parasites

If going by production order — which, Trekkies will tell you, is the only correct order in which to watch the original series — then “The Man Trap” is the show’s fifth episode. Broadcast order (feh) had it running first. Either way, a precedent was set early on “Star Trek,” and audiences would frequently see magical sci-fi creatures of devices that could read the minds of Starfleet officers and physically manifest their desires. In “The Man Trap” (September 8, 1966), Kirk (William Shatner) found an intruder on his ship in the form of a shapeshifting alien called simply the M-113 Creature. The creature is a leech monster who, as a defense mechanism, can appear differently to different people. 

In the episode “Shore Leave” (December 29, 1966), the crew of the Enterprise finds themselves on a planet that can read their thoughts and instantly construct robots based on whatever they’re thinking of. Kirk thinks of an old school rival. Sulu (George Takei) dreams of a handgun. Dr. McCoy (De Forest Kelley) dreams of the White Rabbit from “Alice in Wonderland.” 

In the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” episode “Where No One Has Gone Before” (October 26, 1987), the Enterprise is stranded in a distant part of the universe that, just as a natural phenomenon, manifested thoughts as reality, and Worf (Michael Dorn) created a beloved childhood pet. Picard (Patrick Stewart) had tea with his dead mother.

In the “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” episode “If Wishes Were Horses” (May 17, 1993), the station crew finds figures like Rumpelstiltskin (Michael Anderson) wandering the station, as well as a hornier doppelgänger of Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell). 

It seems that wishes do come true.

The U.S.S. Hood

Only glimpsed briefly, and only mentioned by name once, “Mining the Mind’s Mines” sees two California-class vessels coming to the aid of the U.S.S. Hood, an Excelsior-class vessel that is in charge of the mission. The Hood, Trekkies will know, has a storied off-to-the-side history throughout “Trek.” Most notably, the Hood was the first ship that Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) was assigned to early in his Starfleet career, serving under Captain Robert DeSoto (Michael Cavanaugh). Geordi LaForge (LeVar Burton) also once mentioned that he, too, served aboard the Hood at one point. 

The Hood would appear multiple times throughout “Next Generation,” probably because the show’s FX department only had so many models to go around, and the Hood was always a fun one to put next to the Enterprise. As such, the Hood was mentioned in the episodes “Tin Man,” “The Defector,” “Allegiance,” and was seen in larger fleets in battle-based episodes. The Hood would also get involved in scrapes with the Dominion during “Deep Space Nine,” and its name would be mentioned myriad times throughout. 

That the Hood is still in operation all these years later speaks to the tenacity of the ship. The Hood, incidentally, was named after Rear Admiral Sir Horace Lambert Alexander Hood, a World War I officer for the Royal Navy.

Dr. Leah Brahms

Ensign Rutherford (Eugene Cordero) is an engineer who loves machines and technical stuff, so it makes perfect sense that his ultimate fantasy should be an apparition of Dr. Leah Brahms.

First mentioned in the NextGen episode “Booby Trap” (October 30, 1989), Dr. Leah Brahms (Susan Gibney) was one of the designers who was instrumental in the design of the Enterprise-D. In “Booby Trap,” Geordi has to find a way to speed up power transfers on the ship in order to escape a millennia-old space snare that was draining power from all its systems. To better understand the ship, Geordi creates a holographic simulation of Brahms, and they develop a good rapport. Geordi ends up kind of developing a crush on the hologram, and the episode ends with a kiss. 

If that seems a little creepy — kissing a simulation of a real person — Geordi will be taken to task in “Galaxy’s Child” (March 11, 1991) wherein he will has an opportunity to meet the real Dr. Brahms. She discovers his lovey-dovey simulation and is horrified. Eventually, the two work together to solve a crisis, and Dr. Brahms has no hard feelings … as now she can go home to her husband. Geordi is left alone. In the series finale “All Good Things…” (May 23, 1994), an alternate future timeline reveals that Geordi and Dr. Brahms ended up getting married and having children of their own. 

Kukulkan

When the mind-reading crystal balls crack open, their powers are intensified, and they begin manifesting nightmares instead of dreams. Some of the creatures that appear are merely terrifying apparitions that anyone would be scared of: Klingon clowns with bat’leth arms, giant Borg snakes, etc. One of the manifestations is a red winged serpent that is namechecked as Kukulkan.

Kukulkan is a fun reference to a creature encountered in a “Star Trek: The Animated Series” episode “How Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth” (October 5, 1974) wherein the Enterprise finds an ancient Mayan city on a distant planet and awakens a legitimate Mayan god. Kukulkan announces that he once lived on Earth where he was worshiped. Now awakened, he plans on returning to get his old gig back. Kirk announces, in a daring notion for a kids’ show, that Earth has outgrown the need to worship; the planet, he explains, is now wholly atheist. Kirk thanks Kululkan for guiding Earth people through an early phase of development, but now is the time to kindly retire as a god. Kukulkan does. 

The Kukulkan seen in “Lower Decks” has nothing to say; it’s just a big scary flying monster. But his appearance is a fun nod. 

Silicon-Based Life Forms

The Scrubble are but the latest in a long series of “Star Trek” species that appear to be silicon based. Although the actual scientific possibility of silicon-based life seems to have been largely disproven, the possibility of a living rock is too tantalizing for the writers of sci-fi shows to give up. The two elements are right next to each other on the periodic table. As we all know, carbon and silicon can form ionic compounds by gaining four electrons, forming the carbide anion (C4-) and silicide anion (Si4-), but they more frequently form compounds through covalent bonding.

As such, mineral-based lifeforms crop up on “Trek” with frequency. In “Devil in the Dark” (March 9, 1967) Kirk and Spock (Leonard Nimoy) discover a rock monster called a horta that killed people to protect its eggs. In “The Savage Curtain” (March 7, 1969), Kirk and Spock are forced into hand-to-hand combat by an all-powerful, lava-like Excalbian. On NextGen, “Home Soil” (February 22, 1988) sees the discovery of sentient grains of sand, and “Silicon Avatar” (October 14, 1991) sees the second appearance of a creature simply called The Crystalline Entity. 

This is nothing to say of the multiple references throughout “Trek” to the Tholians, an antagonistic species made of crystal. The Scrubble are merely the latest in a long line of such species.

  • US stocks fell Tuesday, turning lower in the post-Labor Day session. 
  • Stocks gave up earlier gains after a stronger-than-expected ISM services report. 
  • That bolstered views that the Fed sees the economy as strong enough to take on more rate hikes. 

US stocks closed with a loss Tuesday as investors saw a stronger-than-expected report on service-sector activity as providing further reason for rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. 

The S&P 500 fell for a third straight session, led by losses in the consumer services and energy sectors. The decline was softened somewhat by gains among sectors considered defensive — real estate, utilities, and health care. Wall Street's major equity indexes have lost ground over the past three weeks. 

Stocks gave up gains earlier Tuesday and Treasury yields rose after the Institute for Supply Management said its August index on service-sector activity rose to 56.9%. The reading outstripped Econoday's consensus estimate of 55.4% for activity that drives more than a third of US economic growth. 

The Federal Reserve has indicated it sees the US economy slowing but strong enough to withstand more interest rate increases to pull down inflation toward its 2% target.

Here's where US indexes stood at the 4:00 p.m. closing bell on Tuesday: 

"The combination of peak hawkishness from the Fed and the frustratingly slow pace at which inflation is cooling could continue to weigh on stocks for another month or more," LPL Financial strategists said in a note published Tuesday. 

"Still, we could see potential upside for stocks over the balance of 2022. Some inflation relief is likely coming, which can help foster interest rate stability. Friday's jobs report that many are calling 'Goldilocks,' sets up some needed cooling of labor markets," they said.  

Last Friday's jobs report showed the US added 315,000 payrolls in August, beating the forecast for 300,000 new jobs but down from July's scorching addition of 528,000 jobs. 

Around the markets, Digital World Acquisition Corp. shares tumbled after the company gave its shareholders more time to vote on a proposal to extend a deadline to merge with Donald Trump's social media company. Truth Media & Technology Group runs the Truth Social networking app. 

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman called for gradual interest-rate hikes to avoid crushing economic growth and employment. 

Saudi Arabia is lowering oil prices for Asia and Europe but hiking them for most US buyers. 

Oil prices tuned lower. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 0.1% to $ 86.64 per barrel. Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell 0.2% to $ 92.69. 

Gold fell by 0.7% to $ 1,711.40 per ounce. The 10-year Treasury yield increased by 14 basis points to 3.33%.  

Bitcoin fell 4.5% to $ 18,848.12.

This post contains minor spoilers for episode two of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” season 3, and major spoilers for “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”

“Star Trek: Lower Decks” is an irreverent animated take on “Star Trek” created by a bunch of nerds who love the franchise and really know their stuff. They know what kinds of Easter eggs and cameos are going to get fans excited, and boy howdy does the latest cameo get me more excited than Ensign Boimler (Jack Quaid) on bridge duty. The series has featured a couple of cameos from major “Star Trek: The Next Generation” alumni like Commander Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), but now they’re finally giving the “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” fanatics their own perfect cartoon cameo.

General Martok, the Klingon warrior played by J.G. Hertzler, makes his “Lower Decks” debut in season 3, episode 2, “The Least Dangerous Game,” and Hertzler even returned to voice the character. This charismatic cyclops was a major player on “Deep Space Nine” and is a serious fan favorite, but fans of other “Trek” shows might not recognize him. So who is General Martok, and why is his inclusion more exciting than an all-expenses paid trip to Risa? Grab a bat’leth and read on, brave warrior!

From General To Chancellor

Though Klingons were a major antagonistic force in “Star Trek: The Original Series,” Klingon characters and their unique culture weren’t really expanded on until “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” On that series, Michael Dorn’s Worf, the first Klingon member of Starfleet, helped bridge the massive cultural gaps between humans and Klingons. There are a few decent Klingon episodes on “Next Generation,” but “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” really explored the Klingon Empire’s influence on the rest of the quadrant and introduced fans to Martok, who met Worf while captured by the Jem’hadar and befriended his fellow warrior. Later episodes show his unusual (by human standards) romance with his wife Sirella (Shannon Cochran) and a moment of relatable weakness when he’s asked to command an attack on the Jem’hadar after his imprisonment. Martok is the most fleshed-out Klingon in the entire franchise save for Worf, and he’s one honorable dude.

Perhaps his most endearing moment on the series is when he sees Trill science officer Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) for the first time and calls her by the name of Dax’s former host, Curzon. “Curzon, my old friend!” he shouts as he grabs her in a hug, and she gently corrects him that her name is Jadzia now. “Jadzia, my old friend!” he laughs, immediately accepting her and honoring her. 

Martok eventually becomes the Chancellor of the Klingon empire when Worf kills the previous chancellor, Gowron (Robert O’Reilly). As Chancellor, Martok helps Captain Sisko and the Federation win the Dominion War, meaning he’s definitely headed to the Klingon Valhalla, Sto’vo’kor. 

Qapla’!

On “Lower Decks,” our intrepid lower deckers spend some downtime playing a board game called “Bat’leths and Bihnuchs,” inspired by the real-life “Star Trek: The Next Generation” VHS game from the 1990s. The game itself is part “Dungeons & Dragons,” part “Settlers of Catan,” and Martok narrates the adventure. Well, a Ferengi-created facsimile of Martok does, anyway. The real Chancellor would be too busy to record so many different dialogue options, and he wouldn’t want to anyway, so some clever Ferengi made a knock-off Martok that’s as good as the real thing. With Hertzler doing the artificial Martok’s voice, it’s more then close enough for me. 

The trailer for season 3 hinted that the Cerritos is going to dock with Deep Space Nine, which means there’s potential to see the actual Martok somewhere on the Promenade if he’s back for a visit. That means there’s more “Deep Space Nine”-related goodness on the way, which is like Klingon acid punk to my ears. Now can we please get a version of this game in real life? 

New episodes of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” premiere Thursdays on Paramount+.
