Line #4 ShoutOut/ChakonaSpace


1	This is where we put all of the many, many {{Shout Out}}s we find in the ''Literature/ChakonaSpace'' stories. As with any fiction written by someone who is a fan of anything, the more time you spend reading this story, the more shouts you find. This becomes easier if both the writer and the reader are fans of the same thing or things.

3	While this verse's creator, Bernard Doove does contribute some of the shouts, contributing author Allen "Redbear" Fessler is responsible for about half of the shouts found on this page.

6	!!Shouts:
7
8	* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
9	** The following exchange is almost a direct quote of dialog when G'Kar returns to his quarters and finds his journal missing.
10	--->'''Neal''': "Just a few." As (Kestrel) continued staring at him, he added, "hundred," this was followed by a longer pause. Kestrel was opening her mouth when Neal said, "thousand."\
11	'''Kestrel''': "Well?" she snapped, "What is it? A few hundred? Or a few thousand?"\
12	'''Neal''': "[[MathematiciansAnswer Yes]]," (he) agreed, with a small smile.
13	** For G'Kar, it was a few hundred thousand copies of his book, for Neal, it was a few hundred thousand colonists.
14	* Music/TheBeatles: Penelopy Windsor prefers to be called ''Penny Lane''. (Maybe)
15	* ''Series/DeadliestCatch'': Several shouts. Fessler himself comments:
16	-->'''WordOfGod''': Why yes, the writer too lazy to come up with names has watched the Deadliest Catch.
17	** Double hit: One ship associated with Capt. Foster's group is named ''[[Film/TimeBandits Time Bandit]]''.
18	** Captain Foster routinely trades cargoes with a fleet of ships with names derived from Deadliest Catch.
19	* Music/JohnnyCash: "''A Boy Named Sue''" gets a slight reference when Suzan "Stew" Pebble introduces herself to Forestwalker's extended family during a visit to the ''Folly''.
20	--> "My name is Stew. How do you do?"
21	* ''Literature/LittleFuzzy'' seems to receive a passing shout with starstones. These precious gemstones glow from some internal mechanism. The original sunstones in ''Little Fuzzy'' would glow when heated by something as limited as the warmth of the holder's hand.
22	* ''Series/MythBusters'':
23	--> '''Weaver''': "(Neil Foster)...rejects your reality and substitutes his own."
24	* ''Series/RedDwarf'': "What the '''[[UnusualEuphemism smegging]]''' hell is going on here?"
25	* ''Franchise/StarTrek'' Oh so many...
26	** Antimatter powered warp drives, transporters, food replicators, Caitians.
27	** The Federation cruiser, ''[[Creator/JamesDoohan Montgomery Scott]]''.
28	** The FSS ''Hoshiko'' is so badly damaged in an attack that she is half-jokingly misidentified as [[UnwinnableTrainingSimulation The Kobayashi Maru]].
29	* The "''Tales From The Night Watch''" series is peppered with Shouts.
30	** The most prominent one seems to reference ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'' with mention of a "Baron" and Geidi Secundus.
31	** Another scene in the same story points towards ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1'' when Captain Barks claims that "...a whale fell on my engineer".
32	*** To which hir boss replies: "Don't tell me, he sidestepped to avoid a pot of petunias?"
33	** Chapter 3 makes a lampshaded reference to ''Film/JamesBond''.
34	* Real Life photo-reconnaissance / spy planes, the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR71 SR-71]] and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_U-2 U-2]]. These two aircraft series are mentioned as being the names of 2 different strings of electronic malware that are causing starship mounted sensors to not detect objects that they should be able to find.
35	* The Bunny Brothers pull off a hat trick with no less than 4 shouts. Admiral Kline does a double take and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the fact that someone had a sense of humor.
36	** Harvey was named for ''Theatre/{{Harvey}}''
37	** Peter was named for ''Literature/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit''
38	** Roger was named for ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''
39	** Oswald was named for ''WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit''.
40	* The Saurons are a double-shoutout, both to ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000.'' They're PlagueMaster SuperSoldiers, which gives them shades of the Death Guard (Nurgle-worshipping {{Space Marine}}s), and their codename is the name of the BigBad of LOTR. Even better, their homeworld is called Mordor and suffered an [[EarthShatteringKaboom Exterminatus.]]
