I think Blue Harvest as the codename for Return of the Jedi was itself an offhanded reference to Red Harvest, so...

Anyway, it's Blue Harvest! It's horror beyond imagination!

... also, it might just be a pun. Because on a meta level, I'm, you know... harvesting something... blue. Sort of.

That's OK, though, the next episode's working title is a reference to an Ellis Peters novel. Bet nobody saw that coming. :)
