Episode discussion: Happy Birthday Nate

While watching the Season 2 episode, "Happy Birthday Nate," I had somewhat of a deja vu moment. During two of the scenes Eli actually falls into a drunken stupor and it is not from drinking alcohol, but because he IS his dad in the vision. Now where have I seen this before, I kept thinking, I know I have seen something like this done in another show or movie. It finally came to me: E.T.!!! It reminded me of the scene in E.T. The Extraterrestial when E.T. finds the beer in the fridge and we all know what happens to Elliott.
