Did anyone catch the Pulp Fiction reference? It was a side quest, where you board the Mule (I think), ship by itself in some system, to recover a special cargo. When you finish the mission, Shepherd opens the canister, and looks down, with a gold / yellow light shining up, then closes it. The cargo is never specified in the mission debrief either. Thought this was a reference to the suitcase Travolta and Jackson recover in the first part of Pulp Fiction.
I think that's a reference to "Repo Man". The McGuffin was a suitcase in the trunk of a repossessed car and nothing was revealed about it except there was a glow inside it...
I also haven't seen a mention of Legion's dialog at the beginning of its loyalty mission. He explains that the heretics "do not share your fear, pity or remorse", which is a reworking of Ash's description of the Alien in "Alien".
