5. Who starred in the movie "Jeremiah Johnson"?

Answer: Robert Redford

"Jeremiah Johnson" is about a man who wishes to live as a hermit, but is drawn into a feud with the Native Americans. In "Jeremiah Crichton", John accidentally gets left behind when Moya starbursts. He tries to live out a life of solitude, but is drawn into the affairs of the native people before he can be rescued.
6. Who wrote the book "Through the Looking Glass"?

Answer: Lewis Carroll

"Through the Looking Glass" was pitched by David Kemper to be an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". The original script was about the Enterprise finding a seemingly empty ship, that actually harbors a creature that leaves slime on the walls and has taken over the ship.

As it grows, it needs more room and migrates to the Enterprise. In the "Farscape" episode, the ship is actually fractured into different times and colors when Moya tries to Starburst.

Answer: The Simpsons

The phrase "The Way We Weren't" is an homage to the 1974 film "The Way We Were." "The Simpsons" episode (FABF13) has the same name, but "Farscape" used it first.

Answer: The Twilight Zone

"Picture, if you will..." were the words used by Rod Serling in his monologue at the beginning of "Twilight Zone" episodes. In the case of this episode, there was a picture that could predict the future and, ultimately, capture Moya's crew.
