Summary Star Trek: Deep Space Nine contained a deep-cut Star Trek: The Original Series Easter egg from the episode "The Deadly Years", but it ended up having a deeper meaning. In TOS season 2, episode 12, an Enterprise away team is exposed to fatal radiation that triggers rapid aging. With scenes of the Star Trek: TOS cast in old man make-up, and the countdown clock tension, "The Deadly Years" became a beloved TOS episode.
" There's a lot of references from the original series rattling around in my head, because I watched it fanatically as a kid. Somehow it's easier to remember those references than the stuff I worked on a few years ago on TNG. " Dr. Bashir Used An Anti-Radiation Drug From Star Trek: TOS’ “Deadly Years” Episode Bashir's "Deadly Years" reference foreshadowed his next DS9 episode. Close In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 3, episode 17, "Visionary", Chief O'Brien is exposed to fatal radiation that allows him to jump through time. Although "Visionary" was written by John Shirley from a story by Ethan H. Calk, Ronald D. Moore did have some uncredited input into the final script.
Ronald D. Moore's insertion of Hyronalin into the "Visionary" script maintained a medical continuity between Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Original Series. However, Doctor Bashir's reference to "The Deadly Years" ended up being an unintentional, and purely coincidental, set-up for the next episode of DS9, which was Bashir-centric.
