** Given that the ''Archangel'''s [[Wave Motion Gun]] based on the exact same technology is named ''Lohengrin'', this is probably [[Older Than They Think|a reference to Wagner]]. Moreso since the ''Archangel'' was built and introduced long prior to the ''Minerva''. |

* An episode of ''[[Babylon 5]]'' features symbiotic slugs that preserve memories from long-dead races. One of them, just before dying, gives a speech about "The things I've seen" that is strongly reminiscent of Batty's speech. |

⚫ | * The various ''[[Heavy Gear]]'' franchise elements use what seems to be an elaboration of the Bladerunner version as their interstellar drive. Heavily traveled routes have stations that open the gate (which is cheaper) and larger ships have their own equipment for opening the gates (which is more flexible, and essential on exploration or military vessels). |

* In the [[Fantasy World Map|space fantasy maps]] of [[Warhammer 40000]] references to the Tannhauser Gates are stuck in. |
