    So...Kolya is John's Father?

    I couldn't help but notice the similarity of John's plight to a well known scene from Star Wars. The loss of a hand...hanging by one arm from a precipice...I fully expected a puddle jumper to show up under John so that he could jump on to it, and then return to Atlantis to be fitted with a mechanical hand.

    While this was going on, I said, "Oh goodness, John is playing Luke." It makes sense, given that the story came from John's brain. Star Wars is an important narrative in our generation's consciousness, and making those connections while dreaming (or hallucinating, in John's case) doesn't seem out of place.

    But, since this was *John's* worst nightmare, then does that mean that John relates Kolya to his father somehow?

    Kolya: [heavy, mechanical breathing] John, I am your father.

    This is a HUGE stretch, but I thought it was a fun one. Feel free to fry me on this, if you like. At least the similarities to Star Wars were slightly humorous.

    lol I actually saw those similarities too. So no, I'm not gonna fry ya for it. LOL I don't fry anyone anyhow. I just feels mean to me. And though it's a stretch, it is indeed a fun one.

      The only similarity was John losing a hand. Star Wars was not first to have a main character lose a hand.

        Ahahahaha that's really funny and something I completely did not pick up on. I like it and it's an interesting theory about John subconsciously connecting Kolya with his father's behavior.

          Who knows, maybe there's a blooper?

          "No John, I, am your father."

                  the comparison wasn't that convincing (Kolya didn't have asthma)

                    There might be a reference in there. I never noticed that!

                      I was thinking more along the lines of Freudian castration complex...

                            They do rip allot from excisting scifi things, so it could be that it was a little thing that had that Star Wars moment. Maybe it was or wasnt intentional.

                              My 10yo put on his best Darth Vader voice and said "Yes John, I am your father" as soon as it happened... kind of lightened the mood
