...Different Destinations - S3-E5

Trivia: While they're waiting for the Venek Horde to attack again, when John's chained to the statue Scorpius/Harvey's playing the harmonica with his feet up on John's lap. Notice that both soles of Scorpius/Harvey's red boots have the name "Andy" written on them. In "Toy Story" Woody's boot has "Andy" written on its sole, and here in John's mind it's to signify John's ownership of the neural clone.

Won't Get Fooled Again - S2-E15

Trivia: The following can be seen in this episode, though they only occur in John's head due to being in a Scarran induced delusional state. After John kisses Logan-Rygel on the lips, he runs up the stairs carrying Logan-Rygel while shouting, "Let me show you how I crash landed the Farscape module!" and when John swings Logan-Rygel around imitating Farscape 1's flight, the left hand/wrist is pulled from the sleeve and we can see the puppet's non-existent arm. Later, when John's mother comes to see him at the hospital the boom mic dips into view above her. Then when John walks into Logan-Rygel's office while everyone is there, we can see the puppeteer's movement on the floor in front of Rygel.
