“NCIS” gave “Pulp Fiction” a few shout-outs all through episode 17 of Season 3, titled “Ravenous.” Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) first identified that Jackrabbit Slim’s – a retailer situated in Shenandoah Nationwide Park — was a reference to the identical restaurant Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) stopped at throughout their night time out within the 1994 movie. As one may think about, the resident movie and TV knowledgeable of the NCIS, Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), took quick discover of his teammate’s huge display screen information and counseled her for pointing that out.
The second “Pulp Fiction” reference arrived towards the top of “Ravenous,” this time throughout an interplay between Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) and Jethro Gibbs. She opens a field containing a birthday reward from him, revealing a delicate glow from the within. “This is so ‘Pulp Fiction,'” remarked Gibbs, drawing a comparability between Abby’s reward and the ominous glowing briefcase from the aforementioned movie. Each time Marsellus Wallace’s (Ving Rhames) enigmatic suitcase was opened, the viewers wasn’t proven its contents, other than the gold mild emanating from it. To at the present time, we don’t know what it truly contained, leading to rampant hypothesis over time.
The tendency of “NCIS” to toss in a cultural reference right here and there goes a great distance in making the present really feel grounded and linked to the true world. In any case, who hasn’t made a reference to “Pulp Fiction” of their day-to-day life by now?
