Better Halves
When D.L. and Micah are looking at comic books at the kitchen table, one of them is Tales From Space. This is the same comic as the one held by Sherman Peabody, the farmer's son in Back to the Future, who mistakes the DeLorean for a spaceship when Marty first arrives in 1955.
Homecoming
A student at Union Wells High School reads Tales From Space.
Six Months Ago
Hiro attempts to phone Ando at work, and instead gets "himself" on the other end. Hanging up the phone, he exclaims, "Great-o Scott!", paraphrasing Doc Brown's memorable exclamation.
Godsend
Nathan meets Hiro in Isaac's apartment. During their conversation, Nathan says "Look I can't believe I'm about to say this... you, you... teleported here, back from the future?"
Four Months Later
After the village of Otsu is burned, Hiro tells Takezo Kensei that himself, Ando and the world as he knows it may no longer exist in the future due to his actions. He exclaims, "Great-o Scott!"
Heroes 360
- In one of Hiro's blog entries, Hiro wishes he could have his own personal Dr. Emmett Brown for guidance.
- After riding in a limo, Hiro lists "a De Lorean going at 88 miles per hour" as one of the things he still needs to ride.
Notes
- Tales from Space is not a real comic book. It is a prop created specifically for Back to the Future by Andrew Probert, the movie's production illustrator.
- The phrase "Great Scott" is a popular phrase used in many incantations; before Doc Brown said it in Back to the Future, it was notably used by Superman, C.S. Lewis, and many others.
