The Enterprise tribute sort of ended up in the Strange New Worlds crossover episode.

Ortegas realizing she sounds like Boimler while she's geeking out about the NX-01 is one of my favorite little moments

How? There was nothing from Enterprise in that.

Well, except for the explicit namedrops and adoration of Hoshi and Mayweather, and the fact that Boimler saved the day by realizing that the material they needed to get back to their time could be found in a piece of the NX-01 Enterprise built into the hull of Pike’s Enterprise.

Ah, so mostly name drops, which is even less than what was shown in this episode.

Seems more like the SNW episode was LD’s SNW tribute episode if anything.

Sure, I guess mostly that, if you arbitrarily exclude the other thing I mentioned.

I mean, the word “mostly” was used because while not ALL of the things are name drops, the majority of them are. I didn’t say “ALL name drops” because that would not have been accurate.
