B.A. LeCarre's name may have originated from two sources: B.A. Baraccus,
who is better known as Mr. T, from The A-Team (a television show
parodied in "The
Wrong Stuff") and John LeCarre, who wrote the novel The Spy Who
Came in from the Cold, a title that is an appropriate description for
the former Cobra cook since he was trapped in the depths of a cold sea.
When Roadblock first meets B.A. LeCarre, he asks, "Who in the Robinson
Crusoe are you?" The name referenced by Roadblock is a character from Daniel
Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe, a story about an English sailor who
was marooned on a desert island for nearly thirty years.
To silence the fighting between Zarana and Zandar as well as Leatherneck
and Wet-Suit, B.A. LeCarre fires a gun and then states: "Now, what we have
here is a failure to communicate." The quote was from the film Cool Hand Luke.
 
The hair on Roadblock’s chin suddenly appears while he is traveling
with General Hawk to an oil rig.

| Roadblock was inked with the wrong color. |

The necks of the BATs appear to be those of Caucasian men, which creates
an eerie parallel to the film The Black Hole for two reasons: one,
the sole survivor of each ship is half-crazed; two, the maimed crew members
were turned into half-robot slaves.
 |
| For the second time, Roadblock was inked with a Caucasian-like color. |
