1.1 Beginnings

Allusions:
— Tim: Hi Daisy: Hi Tim: How's it going? Daisy: Same as always Tim: That bad, huh? Daisy: (Sighs)
This dialogue has been lifted from an exchange Luke Skywalker and Han Solo have in The Return of the Jedi
— After they move into the flat Daisy looks in Tim's room and sees a massive box. As she creeps towards it music from 2001: A Space Odyssey plays.
This is a reference to the the black monolith from the film.
— Daisy: You re not one of those sci-fi nerds are you? You don t spend your evenings on the Internet discussing symbolism in the X-files do you?
The X-files was a sci-phenomenon back in its day, and still is in the 00 s. Following the travels of FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, as they encounter many unexplainable occurrences, it ran for nine seasons. And it was considered to have shaped most science fictions TV shows today, a prime example being Supernatural, a CW programme with a similar backdrop.
— Daisy and Richard's pet names for each other are 'Daisy Duke' and 'Boss Hogg', which are characters from 'The Dukes of Hazzard'.
— Whilst Tim and Daisy insist they were always Freddie and Daphne when playing Scooby-Doo, their clothing suggests they are now more like Shaggy and Velma.
— When Tim and Daisy open the closet, there are two VERY creepy little twin girls in there.
They look a lot like the twin girls from the Shining.
— When Tim & Daisy are faking their holiday photographs this is an allusion to the film "Green Card". This is the first of the many many pop culture references made throughout the course of the show.
— References to Tim's object of fantasy while pleasuring himself
Gillian Anderson, among sci-fi fans, is one of the hottest women. And before Jeri Ryan came into the picture in 1997, she was voted hottest woman in sci-fi on numerous sci-fi magazines.
— Tim: Bilbo Bagshot
In LoTR, there is a character who's name is Bilbo. And among the sci-fi/ fantasy crowd, the name Bilbo is well known. Bagshot is a reference to the road on which Bilbo's house was located (Bagshot Row).

Trivia:
— The band Tim designed an album cover for is called "God's Third Leg" - they were a real band featuring Simon Pegg on drums.
— The newpaper advert for the flat read:
NW5, spacious two bedroom apartment, fully furnished, 90pw. Professional couple only. 0171-405 0763
— The song that plays over the montage as Daisy and Tim meet in the diner/coffee shop is 'Getting to Know You' from the 1956 film The King and I
— In the sequence with the strange twins, the still images of Daisy and Tim are taken from episode 4 of series one.
— In 2007, Jessica officially switched to using her married name as her professional name, though she was still 'Stevenson' when she made Spaced.
