** In episode 4 Liandrin mispronounces Nynaeve's name, a nod to the fact that fans have often had trouble figuring out how to pronounce it based on its spelling in the text.

Added DiffLines:

** The later books have several hilarious scenes how PsychicLink (primarily, Aes Sedai Warder bond and Aiel sister bond) combines with intoxication and [[DirtyMindReading arousal]]. Episode 4 has a milder example on the same lines: when Lan drinks, Moiraine becomes [[NotSoStoic noticeably emotional]].
** In Episode 4 a little girl shows her doll Birgitte, who "protects [her] when everyone's asleep" and "always wanted to see the world". It's a clear reference to Birgitte Silverbow, a reincarnating heroine of Light.

* ''Series/TheWheelOfTime'': When Egwene is accepted into the Women's Circle, Nynaeve explains the symbolism of their braids. In the books, Nynaeve [[CharacterTic is known]] for tugging her braid in times of stress or irritation.
-->'''Nyneave:''' This braid will remind you that you are a part of us and we a part of you. To be a woman is to be always alone and never alone. So when the Dark surrounds you and you see no Light, feel this braid and know that we all stood before you. We all stand with you.

* ''Series/{{Westworld}}'':
** When Bernard and the security team go to cold storage, there is a globe sculpture that looks similar to one that appears in the film at the entrance of the park. It even has the name 'DELOS' inscribed on it.
** When discussing the old days of the park, Ford mentions that back then, you could pick out the hosts with a simple handshake. This is also how hosts were identified in the film.
** In Episode 6, Bernard ventures to level B82 (one above/below the B83 level that had the "DELOS" globe) and enters into a 1970s-style office, straight out of the film. He also [[http://imgur.com/a/H98JH walks by the Gunslinger]].
** In the same episode, Elsie walks pass some Romanesque statues and Medieval armor in an abandoned theatre, a nod to the "Romanworld" and "Medievalworld" sections in the first movie. In Episode 10, [[spoiler:we also learn that there is a Shogunworld attraction (one of the settings added in the film sequel, along with Future World and Spa World)]].
** Two guests taking part in a shoot out in Sweetwater are arrested but will have a means of escape smuggled in with their breakfast. The same scenario plays out in the film, with a host smuggling explosives to the incarcerated protagonist.
** In the film it's mentioned that the robots have been partially designed by computers, so the scientists don't truly understand how they work. [[spoiler:This is true in the series as well, as Ford created Bernard to help design the hosts.]]
** The finale has [[spoiler: Bernard creates a Host duplicate of Charlotte Hale implanted with Delores' mind who pulls a KillAndReplace, with her doing so a couple of times in Season 3. This was Delos' plan in the sequel film as a bid to TakeOverTheWorld.]]

* ''Series/{{Haven,}}'' is an adaptation of a lesser-known Stephen King story, ''The Colorado Kid.'' It's more of an AdaptationExpansion and borders on InNameOnly, but it very much aware it's based on a King story and fans can find multiple references and homages to his other work sprinkled throughout the show. It's very close to OnceAnEpisode.

*** Which may end up [[CompletelyMissingThePoint not being a gag]]. Clark has been seen rescuing people at super-speed, and because he always wears those colors they see a red-and-blue blur. In one episode Green Arrow dresses in a costume of those colors to hide his identity. In other words, the series implies his Superman costume will be red and blue because he wears those colors in his civilian life.
