I'm still not sure what drove Dean to hallucinate but it was a clever way to bring back Pete, Billy, and Trianna and work in loads of pop culture references: GI Joe, The Neverending Story, Space Ghost (Monarch as Brak) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Rusty totally looks like Master Splinter) as well as the opening prophecy narration from David Lynch's Dune. I'm sure there was a lot more that I missed, although Dean's sword could be inspired by The Legend of Zelda or Disney's The Black Cauldron.
David Bowie produced Iggy and the Stooges classic Raw Power and later Iggy's first solo album The Idiot.
Iggy quotes from The Idiot, I Want to be Your Dog, Search and Destroy, and Gimme Danger.
Bowie quotes from his own Oh, You Pretty Things when he says "(gotta) make way for the homo superior"
I also like Klaus' "I wasn't in The Stooges."
And on a personal note, Iggy's smoking made me laugh because he bummed a cigarette off of me once.

A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 10,191. The known universe is ruled by the Padishaw emperor Shaddam IV, my father. In this time the most precious substance in the universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators who the spice has . . . mutated over four thousand years use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space--that is, travel to any part of the universe without moving.
Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, the spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe, a desolate, dry planet with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Fremen, who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis, also known as . . . Dune.

Yeah, the sad thing is most of that was from memory. Not quite as sad, I had it in iTunes for proofing, though I might have mispelled some things. . . . I can see how the prophecy in the ep kind of mirrors the second half of that, and the prologue as it appears in the movie, but--and it's been a while--isn't there something similar in "Never-ending Story"? (Or at least the child emperess or whatever she's called does look kind of similar to Princess Irulan in the Lynch movie.)
On a side note, the "Oh, You Pretty Things" "Make way for the homo superior!" quote was my favorite Sovereign!Bowie line.
