Six Months Ago[]
- Hiro, while in the past in Texas, attempts to call Ando Masahashi back in Japan. However, Ando is not there and instead he speaks with his past self on the phone. When he realizes this, he hangs up to prevent a paradox and exclaims Doc's catchphrase, "Great Scott!"
Better Halves[]
- When D.L. and Micah are looking at comic books at the kitchen table, one of the comics is Tales From Space. This is the same comic as the one held by Sherman Peabody, the farmer's son in Back to the Future, who mistook the DeLorean time machine for a spaceship when Marty McFly first arrived in 1955.
Hiros[]
- Future Hiro again references the space-time continuum.

Godsend[]

Parasite[]
- Hiro uses a computer in Linderman's archives to find the Kensei sword. The computer indicates the sword's catalog number is CRM-114. In Back to the Future, the amplifier in Doc's garage is a CRM-114 amplifier (which in turn was a reference to Dr. Strangelove)
Four Months Later[]

Game Over[]
- Ren mentions the address to the "fortress" (Renautas Headquarters) to be at "88 Hill Valley Road, Midian". The number refers to the mph that the DeLorean time machine needs to travel through time, with the road referring to the name of the city that the trilogy is set in.
