They also just introduced one of the main characters of TNG in season 4, even referencing a TNG movie. It is wild to assume Star Trek was never self-referential lol
Voyager referenced or included TOS and TNG characters in at least eight episodes of season 3.
“Flashback” was the big Sulu/Rand/Kang 30th anniversary tribute
“Death Wish” had Q and Riker
In “Alliances” Tuvok talks about Spock and recaps the events of Undiscovered Country
McCoy was mentioned in “Lifesigns”
Data was mentioned in “Prototype”
Sulu was mentioned in “Tattoo”
Picard and Moriarty were mentioned in “Alter Ego”
Picard was mentioned again in “Scorpion”
That’s basically a third of the season, assuming I didn’t forget any. And that’s not even counting things like the mention of Wolf 359 in “Unity” or the koon-ut-kal-if-fee in “Blood Fever”.
And that’s from the show that went out of their way to make it hard to use existing concepts.

That’s right, I completely forgot about Worf, and also the O’Briens!
How could you forget about Keiko! Lol
