Cultural References[edit | edit source]
- Gene Kranz: Ray says he needs his "Crisis Management Vest," and we see one hanging in his closet. This is a reference to Flight Director Gene Krantz at NASA who wore vests hand-made by his wife Marta for each mission he commanded beginning with Gemini 4 in 1962. This was featured in the Ron Howard film Apollo 13 (1995) .
- Star Wars (1977)
- "We've only got seven minutes to get off this death star. Lowercase D. Lowercase S." – Archer
- "He's the intruder you're looking for!" – Cheryl (from Star Wars (1977))
- "My blaster jammed!" –Cyril (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Deception (2012))
- "space cowboy": Arguably both a reference to Cowboy Bebop (1998) and Firefly (2002) as some of the more influential creative works with the space western central theme.
- Firefly (2002)
- Cheryl closes her eyes to make two stunning ace shots near the door in the same vein as River in "War Stories."
Running Gags / Callbacks[edit | edit source]
- Crisis Vest - the above mentioned vest is also a callback to S1E7 "Skytanic "; Ray is wearing his Crisis Vest when helping Lana and Archer to defuse the bomb on the Excelsior.
- "Space ocelots!" Archer has a fascination with ocelots. The gag began in S2, E10, "El Secuestro", when Archer finds Babou in the Tunt mansion. Babou makes another appearance in S3, E6, "The Limited".
- "Baby crazy". In the first ever episode, Archer claims he broke up with Lana because "she is baby crazy". This episode revives both Archer's claim that he is put off by Lana's desire to settle down and have a child and Lana's denial that she wants a baby.
- Pirates - Space pirates is a callback to season 3, which Archer spent mostly as a prisoner of pirates (or as a pirate king, depending on how you look at it).
Continuity[edit | edit source]
- Reality (Non-Dream): Archer remains in a coma brought upon by the events of Deadly Velvet: Part II] (s7e10)
- Dream / Reality Crossover:
- (Dream) ... / (Reality) ...
- Dream (Non-Reality):
