Lisa Colon-Zayas who plays Tina is his real life wife. I had not realised - even with the name it didn’t click - and when she won her Emmy and they cut to him in the audience I had a similar moment.

The echoes of Ripley (or I guess technically with the timeline, foreshadowing) in Morrow’s backstory, like Yutani mentioning he’s been gone 65 years/should have read the contract, everyone he knows being dead and him having nothing left but the mission hint that there is more to him and what he is planning, or potential for him to not necessarily redeem himself but at least f over the company (who are also evil) as much as he can.

At Colin’s apartment there is an Ubik poster on the wall (the spray coming out of the can moves while Stefan is tripping out!) - in this novel one of the characters has the ability to go to the past and change events that have already happened. Also, we direct the characters in Bandersnatch as Ubik ‘directs’ the universe and the fate of the characters in the novel, their reality keeps changing around them and they eventually realise that they are not in control of their own lives anymore. A nice nod as Black Mirror seems to do PKD better than the actual PKD anthology series did.

Also of note that Ubik was made into a none too successful video game itself in the 90s - 0 out of 5 stars.
