* In the first episode, Luke and Pop have an argument about the merits of Donald Goines. Goines was an ex-con who got into writing in order to keep himself out of prison, and his urban fiction stories, particularly his ''Kenyatta'' series, ended up influencing the {{Blaxploitation}} genre - which is, of course, the genre that spawned Luke Cage.
