Petra is a fan of Harry Potter. Evidenced by:
- Her creations, the Prawatt, play The Game, which is a ground-based version of Quidditch.
- One of her Prawatt is named Weasley
- In Complex God, she wears a Gryffindor scarf. "The wind tugged lightly at her yellow-and-red striped scarf..." (Complex God, Robot Uprisings, p. 4)
- The basic form of 2000 minids is called a "Chocolate Frog" by Petra.
- When briefing the Governor of Michigan, Petra's assistant, Roger, mentions, "Didn't you notice Petra's scarf?" and "You ever read the Harry Potter series?" and "She was a kid when those books came out. So was I. A chocolate frog is a little thing from the books. You might want to read up, Governor - much of Petra's nomenclature for this project is taken from elements in the series." and "She makes the frogs play Quidditch."
(description of her from Ancestor chapter 3.)
Fishbone references to U-G-L-Y in The Rider and The Champion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrcjV8UzSoY
MVP pg ? John arrogantly says, "They can't touch me. GFL Immunity." This is reminiscent of the bad guy in Lethal Weapon who attempts to hide behind his diplomatic immunity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOBXH-5QrGU
In the Champion, pg 16, John says "Even Messal knows sense from shinola," (implying that Quentin did not). This is in reference to the phrase "not know shit from shinola".
Daryl Delancey: "Too old for this shit" also twice in Pandemic.
From THE ROOKIE Hardcover Insert: Porrel the Questioning: "Quentin, a lot of Krakens fans are nervous about someone of your religious background joining the team. It would help for them to connect if they knew what you think is important in life."
Quentin Barnes: "To crush the other team, see them driven down the field before you, and to hear the lamentation of their fans." - reference to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkSFIWzi7aA (Conan the Barbarian)
From THE RIDER: “Pete shook his head. “There’s no giggling in Dinolition,” he said quietly...” (Rider, p. 126). Reference to A League of Their Own https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx2Sps9aMcY
