The film remains the gold standard of sci-fi/retro/teen comedy, and as such its influence on the laugh-leaning season 3 is deeply felt, overtly (the scene revealing the DeLorean's 88 mph time-traveling capabilities plays on the multiplex screen), in tips of the hat (Dustin's inventions, like his automated hammer, evoke Doc Brown's Rube Goldberg-esque creations) and even more subtle nods (fans of composer Alan Silvestri will zero in on orchestral sequences that evoke his signature "BTTF" score later in the season).

Same situation, you've got a main cantina in the base and you've got the gathering hub where you can eat, but if you look closely, between the two, there's kind of a pulley system with these barrels going along, and it's structured so that even while you're in Seliana, you'll see occasionally, out of the cantina, a kind of take out delivery jury-rigged, rube goldberg machine thing that's showing you that, yes, they're cooking it here and someone's sending it across on an actual device.
