3x12 - Meltdown

Crais: You know I'll never again be a Peacekeeper.
J: Never say never again, 007
007 refers to James Bond. One of the James Bond movies was "Never Say Never Again."

J: Talyn has got a hog of a power plant, but he's got a piss-poor electrical system. He sneezes and half his circuits fry.

Crais is explaining what drexam is--
J: What exactly does it do to Talyn?
Crais: When he's in danger, it increases the stimulus increasing his response rates.
J: Okay, so it's like adrenaline. Adrenaline, in humans, when we get in a tight spot makes us fight
(John shadow boxes a bit and Crais gives him that typical "What the hell are you doing?" look)
...And do other things (John does a little booty dance)
Oh...baby...

J: Look Crais, before we all go crackers (Aeryn walks into command, distracting John) Hey baby, how you doin'.
OK, so my thought on this is that "crackers" is a reference to Crackers Don't Matter...

Talyn is begin pulled into the sun--
J: How do we pry this boy loose? Can we stick cotton in his ears? ... Get him some sunglasses, blue blockers.

Mu Quillis suddenly shows up in command--
J: How did you get in here? You just beamed in?
Another Star Trek reference. Captain Kirk's line is the most famous, when he wanted to leave a planet he would say "beam me up."

J: Damn, Crais, you're getting a bit trigger happy.
Trigger happy is a nickname for someone who likes to shoot a gun and use up all the bullets in a clip quickly.

J: Remember the mist. This mist is not your friend.
A: Right, bad mist.
J: Naughty mist.
J: Resist the mist.

The pulses drawing Talyn into the sun keep changing--
J: The Pied Piper found a new tune.
Crais: Explain.
J: Natural phenomenon my ass. Mu Quillis is generating these pulses.
Crais: How?
J: Orbiting boom box? He's whistling out his butt? How the hell should I know?

On Talyn's vestigal pilot's den--
J: Like an appendix?

Crais: If I can't restore the over-rides, I'll go find it (Talyn's den) myself.
J: Fine, you do that, get his hands off the wheel.

To Stark after blowing navigation on Talyn--
J: You might want to hit the brakes. We just took out your steering.

J: Lead us like moth to the flame.

J: All right, Phantom, new tune for the opera.
This is a reference to the incredibly famous Broadway musical, Phantom of the Opera.

Stark: You remember when we met?
J: You want to take a trip down memory lane?!
To take a trip down memory lane is to remember the past and talk about it with friends

John finds Mu Quillis' power source--
J: A throbbing pulse of energy coming straight into your living room.
Hmmm...much like a television.

J (to Mu Quillis): We're going to blow up your fuse box.
A fuse box in a house is where all the electrical wires come from. I don't understand too much of the technical stuff, but if my hair drying quits working on me, I run to the garage and flip the switch in my fuse box...and presto...my hair dryer works again. LOL

J (to Mu Quillis): Damn Smokey, you can't argue with a woman.
I certainly agree with this logic...

A: How's the secondary control node?
J: I've got a chain gang of DRDs working on it.
Chain gangs were a system put in place by Department of Corrections of some southern states around 1890-1950 in which convicts were leased to individuals for hard labor, or the state would use them to build roads or tracks.
