Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

• In the episode "Little Green Men", Quark gets a new Ferengi shuttle from his cousin Gaila that he owed him for helping him start up his munitions business. Since Quark's nephew needs transportation to Earth before beginning his Starfleet Academy career, he tells his brother Rom that "If the boy wants to go to Starfleet Academy, he might as well do it in style."
• In the series finale "What You Leave Behind," Miles O'Brien jokes about leaving the station to teach at Starfleet Academy because "somebody has to teach you officers the difference between a warp matrix flux capacitor and a self-sealing stem bolt."

Star Trek: Voyager

• In the episode "Prototype", B'Elanna states "I'm going to try to adjust the flux capacitance."

• In the episode "Cathexis", Tom Paris reminisces about "Good Old Doc Brown". Early in the episode the ship's course is also repeatedly changed to 121.3, a subtle reference to 1.21 Gigawatts.

Star Trek: Enterprise

Star Trek/Legion of Super Heroes

• In #5 (released 2/15/12), the story sees the Legion of Super Heroes, and the crew of Captain James Tiberius Kirk sent into an alternate timeline. Members of both groups encounter an immortal emperor who states that they aren't the only time travelers to visit him. He shows them an exhibit of time travel vehicles, including the DeLorean time machine.[1][2]

References to Star Trek

• In Back to the Future, Marty McFly while in the guise of Darth Vader, claimed to be from the Planet Vulcan. The planet is the homeworld of Star Trek characters Spock and Sarek. Additionally, when introducing himself as Darth Vader, the hand gesture he gives is the Vulcan salute.
  • In the extended version of the scene, Marty claimed to be under command of the Supreme Klingon Commander, referencing the Klingon race.
• In episode 1 of Back to the Future: The Game, Marty, needing the 1931 Emmett Brown to build him a Rocket-powered drill, claimed to be from the patents office. He told Emmett that if he couldn't make the drill, that the patent would be given to a Dr. McCoy. Dr. McCoy could be a reference to Star Trek doctor Leonard McCoy (Though the X-Men character Beast also went by Dr. McCoy as his name was Henry McCoy).
