  • Hunting for Easter Eggs in Star Trek

    Star TrekEaster Eggs, those fleeting allusions to the world outside a movie that are embedded with in it, have been found scattered throughout J.J. Abrams' Star Trek by people who got an early look at the movie. Sci-Fi Wire has started to pull together a list of the ones that have been discovered so far. Some are pointers to the wider Star Trek universe, while others reference the Abrams universe beyond.

    Among the nods to the wider world of Star Trek are brief glimpses of a cooing Tribble, a portentous flagon of Saurian brandy and the registration code for the Enterprise from Star Trek: the Next Generation. From Abrams earlier productions, there are a couple of allusions to Slusho, the imaginary drink launched in Alias which played a prominent role in the viral marketing for Cloverfield. Uhura (Zoe Saldana) orders a Slusho mix at the Shipyard Bar and the blurry logo of the nefarious Tagruato corporation, manufacturers of Slusho in Cloverfield, also makes a brief appearance.

    And the hunt goes on.
