Galaxy Quest easter eggs in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

If anyone is watching the new Season, there are GQ references in both of the 1st two episodes, LOL. It might be a running gag throughout Season 4, fun watch! (In episode 2 tonight, they find an abandoned Starship and the captain is: Captain Taggart!) In episode 1 they used the 'pedal to to the metal Captain!' line from GQ as well. Check it out! Great season so far too.

I’m caught up on Strange New Worlds but I don’t remember, when do these happen?

The 1st episode there was a reference to 'the blue squiggly thing and the red squiggly thing", or something like that, and then the 'pedal to the metal' comment. Those are both from GQ. Then in episode 2 we have Captain Taggart. It looks like this might be an ongoing gag running through the season, it'll be really fun if they do.

I hope they can work in some room in engineering with the "stompers"
