The following is the list of Sci-fi References in Seinfeld.

Star Trek[]

  • "The Foundation" makes several references to Star Trek. Jerry's line to Susan's parents, "She's not really dead if we find a way to remember her," is very similar to a line said at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan ("He's really not dead. As long as we remember him.").
  • Kramer mentions his Katra, the Vulcan spirit introduced in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
  • Finally, when George learns of the foundation, he yells "Khaaaaaaannnnnnn!!!" while the camera pans above him, much like Captain Kirk in Star Trek II.

Star Wars[]

  • In "The Calzone", Elaine makes a bet with Todd Gack about whether or not Dustin Hoffman was in Star Wars. Gack loses the bet and buys Elaine dinner.
    • Jerry thinks Todd made a bet he knew he would lose in order to get a date with Elaine without the possibility of rejection, remarking, "Short Jewish guy against Darth Vader - I don't think so."
