I have included several different allusions throughout the book, although I am callous here – they generally point to nothing, serving only as an example that allusions are important and noticeable, and intentional. I have Dr. Who, Star Trek, LOTR, and a few more.
I have a few hidden directed at a few people as well.
But, what about you? What subtle allusions would you recommend that if you read it, you will know that I am giving you a shout-out?
Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

How about BSG? The reimagined series. You can’t forget about probably the best miniseries besides Twin Peaks.
