History ShoutOut / ForGood

* Franchise/IndianaJones is Indy St. James's hero and the source of his [[AwesomeMcCoolName name]]. Indy's ''real'' given name is ''Jim''. That's right: Jim St. James.

** Okay, just one. Erin and Mira quote the 2005 film, ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice''.

** Okay, just one. Erin and Mira quote the 2005 ''PrideAndPrejudice'' film.

** Zomega is also said to have a dash of [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Talon Karrde and Mara Jade]] thrown in - this becomes more obvious when you consider that one of Zomega's occupations is [[HandOfThrawn information brokering.]]

* Oh, and Erin is probably a TVTroper. [[GenreSavvy She knows waaay]] [[TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife too many tropes by]] ''[[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife name]]''.

** Windy Terrik's ''name''... Windy, a Tatooine friend of Luke's, and [[XWingSeries Booster Terrik]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a blustery but loveable smuggler chief]].

* GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex. Zomega [[{{Expy}} intentionally resembles]] the Major, and Erin sings one of the anime's songs.

* Creator/CSLewis topics are a recurring shout out, such as the Walden Media Narnia films and [[SpaceTrilogy Perelandra]] Avenue and Park.

* StarWars is another recurring shout out.

* SherlockHolmes.
** Erin's email address is jb_sherlockian, a tribute to JeremyBrett, generally known as [[Series/SherlockHolmes the definitive Sherlock Holmes]]. Dorm-team 76 even watches the show in one chapter.

** RobertDowneyJr is also mentioned, providing a supposed BerserkButton for the [[NotSoStoic previously unflappable Ricki]].

* Eda-Ji-Kep puts Erin in mind of Teal'c from StargateSG1. Yes, this lampshades the fact that "Eddie" is an {{Expy}} of Teal'c.

** Erin and Ricki end up discussing what [[StarTrekTheOriginalSeries TOS]] characters they and their dorm-mates resemble.
** Chapter 11 is ''ridiculously'' Trek-heavy, right down to Erin, Windy, and Ricki making quips and references – even during a simulation! – including calling the First Officer [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration “Number One”]].

** Speaking of names... Hayden Shaw. ''[[HaydenChristensen Hayden]]'' Christensen and Sebastian ''Shaw'', two actors who portrayed Darth Vader...

* Eda-Ji-Kep puts Erin in mind of T'ealc from StargateSG1.

** Zomega is also said to have a dash of [[TheThrawnTrilogy Talon Karrde and Mara Jade]] thrown in - this becomes more obvious when you consider that one of Zomega's occupations is [[HandOfThrawnDuology information brokering.]]
