    Edited to add: I think I’m going to enjoy rewatching the scenes from the Ukeck market. I only caught a Ferengi or two at first glance, but there has to be other familiar aliens, right?

    There’s a Lurian (Morn’s species)!

      Is it just me, or did the reuse some of the sets or set dressings from Picard season three and Discovery seasons one and three?

      We hear that the production packs things up and puts them in storage as much as reasonably possible.

        The market looked very familiar, I did think it might be the same place Worf carried out his Wednesday beheading!

        Believable. The cadet quarters of the 32nd century are redressed sets from Strange New Worlds, and thats like 1000 years earlier.

        Wouldn’t surprise me in the least that “alien marketplace” is just set pieces they drag out of storage every few months.

          When asked in the TrekMovie interview about the similarities to Matalas Prime in Picard, Jonathan Frakes said that most of it was the virtual set volume but they reused set pieces within it.
