1!!For the TV series
2* To ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'', or at the very least Guy Fawkes Day: [=Liber8=] leader Edouard Kagame opens the series premiere with a scene where he outlines the group's manifesto, calls for a rebellion, then blows up a large building. The date? '''November 5th''', 2076.
3* After Kiera explains a murdered scientist's revolutionary work on matter/antimatter power generation, Carlos comments that she must have "watched too much ''[[Film/StarTrek2009 Star Trek]]'' as a kid".[[note]]In case you missed the actual connection, Rachel Nichols played Gaila, the GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Orion cadet, in the 2009 film.[[/note]]
4* In "A Test of Time", the [=Liber8's=] start [[{{Franchise/Terminator}} hunting down people with the same name as Kiera's grandmother in an attempt to erase Kiera from history]].
5* In one episode, Kiera and Carlos track down [[Creator/HGWells Herbert George]], who is a student at [[Film/AnimalHouse Faber College]].[[note]] FridgeLogic: Heck of a coincidence that there had been a student of that name.[[/note]]
6* "Second Truths" has a reference to ''Series/BreakingBad'': Emily jokingly refers to Alec as "Heisenberg". Alec continues the reference by reassuring her he means cooking food in his lab.
7* Does Section 6 remind anybody else of [[Franchise/GhostInTheShell Public Security Section 9]]? Maybe that's where Alex got the cover story.
8* Near the beginning of the season 1 finale, Sonya gives Kagame a copy of "A Tale of Two Cities" as a birthday present -- the same gift that Spock gave to Kirk near the beginning of ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan The Wrath of Khan]]''.
