Summary Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 cleverly nods to Star Trek: Discovery with Easter eggs, without the Protostar crew knowing about it.

Jörg Hillebrand points out how Murf literally calls out Star Trek: Discovery in episode 5, with fun callbacks like "mushroom" and "disco".

Netflix's Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 has a deep-cut Easter egg calling out Star Trek: Discovery - despite the young Starfleet hopefuls of the USS Protostar having no knowledge the USS Discovery ever existed. Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 ingeniously weaves references to the wide scope of Star Trek canon, with Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) helping the Protostar crew repair and save every Star Trek timeline.

On his X account, Jörg Hillebrand (@gaghyogi49), who was a renowned researcher for Star Trek: Picard season 3, pointed out Murf (Dee Bradley Baker) literally calling out Star Trek: Discovery in Star Trek: Proidgy season 2, episode 5, "Observer's Paradox". Wesley Crusher had yet to reveal himself, but he communicated with Murf. To understand the Mellanoid slime worm's language, Murf spoke to Gillian the whale, who translated the Protostar's security chief, and his Star Trek: Discovery Easter eggs. Check out Hillebrand's post below:

"Mushroom" refers to the mycelial network that the USS Discovery's spore drive uses to instantaneously jump from place to place, and "Disco" is the abbreviation and nickname of the USS Discovery starship.
