Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- "Coming back in the future like the dinosaurs in that movie" is a reference to Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster adaptation of Michael Crichton's book Jurassic Park. Spielberg and Crichton had been working together on Crichton's script for an ER movie, but got a bit sidetracked and ended up making Jurassic Park instead. They would later renew their ER collaboration; Spielberg served as an uncredited executive producer during Season 1.
