Allusions

 * "Desert Cantos" is the name attributed to a gallery of photographs taken by Richard Misrach. They have been placed on display at the Fraenkel Gallery.


 * The phrase "No fate", is a shortened version of "No fate but what we make", which is a credo that Kyle Reese says to Sarah Connor in the original The Terminator. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah Connor can be seen carving the words into a piece of wood at Enrique Salceda's camp, similar to how she carves it into a table in this episode.
