Crichton: No, Aeryn, this is a good idea. Why don't we see if we can get the Incredible Vorc here to understand us?" A reference to the Marvel comic book character Dr. Bruce Banner, who after exposure to intense gamma radiation, would change -- usually at the most inconvenient times -- into The Incredible Hulk. Just as the Vorc had a mild-mannered form which would turn into a fiercer form for attack.

Crichton: Pilot, open sesame. The magic phrase that opens the cave containing a treasure trove, in the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

Chiana: What did you expect me to use, harsh language? A reference to a bit of dialogue in James Cameron's 1986 film Aliens.

Crichton: (singing) He's a Cinderella Boy... Oh, my, Bob... this is a... this is a big chance for the kid from the Uncharted Territories... he's about two feet off the green, here on the eighteenth, two strokes off the lead... question is... will he chip or will he use the putter? This is a reference to a bit of dialogue by Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) in the film Caddyshack.

Crichton & Aeryn: Sorry about the mess. Han Solo uses the same phrase after killing Greedo in the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars: A New Hope.

The Mummy: The scene in which the bugs come crawling out of Rygel was inspired by the 1999 film The Mummy.

Crichton: All right, riddle me this. Because we think we may have parasites on board, we get a Vorc, because someone tells us that Vorcs kill parasites. And all of a sudden this other critter shows up, this Ewok gone bad, bites D'Argo, poisons him, okay? "Riddle me this" was a catchphrase used by Batman's archvillain The Riddler. The Ewoks were the fuzzy, friendly low tech allies of the Rebels in Return of the Jedi.

Crichton: (referring to the Vorc) Look, Lassie here is trying to communicate with us! Lassie is a fictional collie dog that heroically rescues his humans from danger, often by cleverly leading the rescuers to the person in jeopardy.
