Jet's nickname "Black Dog", as well as the title of this episode are references
to the song "Black Dog Blues" by the famous pre-war Blues guitarist Blind
Blake
The entire episode is a tribute/reference to the noir film style of the
30's and 40's.
A few references (possibly) to the film "Con-air"
If you notice any references that I missed, I would appreciate
it if you e-mail me.
