When Jake and Bill arrive in Jodie, there is a service station named Fannin. "Fannin" is one of the names used by the infamous "Man in Black" from the Dark Tower series, also written by Stephen King.

Nick Searcy, who plays Principal Deke Simmons, played Deke Slayton in the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon (1998), which is also set in the 1960s.

The Modoc Motel where Jake and Bill stay right at the start of the episode is an old motel on Hockley Road near the village of Hockley, Ontario which also serves as the motel in CBC's "Schitt's Creek".

Jake (James Franco) mockingly calls Billy "James Dean." Franco played Dean in a TV biopic.

This show is being fantastic, there has been some suspense and a lot of things that hopefully will be explained later on the show. Although this episode is not the best one yet (In my opinion that was the first one), I expect the show to improve even more, and I can see how they are building momentum, until in one episode they will drop the bomb. It's looking really good at the moment and I don't understand people that criticize the screen writing or the acting, because they're both definitely way better than TV shows like Arrow and The Flash which are way overrated in my opinion.

Great show, I really recommend it. And keep up the good work, so we can see what 'the past' has yet to do.

If I sat down to watch this without having read the book, I might have thought it was pretty good. However, when I read the book, I thought 11-22-63 was absolutely the best book that King has written. But this miniseries has taken out important parts of the story and added others that have made no sense.

I definitely agree with another reviewer- there is NO need to have a sidekick. The small amount of comedic relief that Bill provides does not equal how it also slows the storyline down.

Someone else thinks that James Franco is terrible. I actually think he fits the roll of Jake quite well. When I heard he was going to be Jake, I was glad, thinking that he fits into the role nicely.

I'm only 3 episodes in the series and I will finish it to the end. But it is sad because if they had just stuck to more of the story line, it could have been so, so much better.

Update on this - I consider myself a huge Stephen King fan - but I later decided my time was too valuable to waste on this crap. This truly the WORST adaptation of a Stephen King story. If you value your time - do NOT waste any of it on this drivel. It is absolutely a travesty - they took a terrific book and turned it into predictable Hollywood drivel.

The major change (and one of its effects, sadly) that the screenwriters have made to King's narrative reached full implosion in this episode, and it's basically the last one worth watching. Is the sidekick necessary? No. What happened to the car? Eh. When you adapt novels to the screen, if you cannot identify the main threads and strings -- ironic, eh, considering the time-travel philosophy espoused in the book and also transferred to the opening credits sequence for the TV show -- then you should stop screen writing, period. Franco is just awful, of course, but even the quality production value here can't save the butchering of an excellent book narrative into silly TV crap. Don't lose another minute of your life watching this terrible screen writing come to life. Go back and read the book again; go back and watch SHAWSHANK again. Go back and read/watch GREEN MILE again instead. Heck, go back and read/watch CHRISTINE, which was 100 times better than this adaptation. So disappointing to see bad casting and bad writing ruin such an amazing novel. This episode is literally unwatchable if you loved the book because of the STUPID changes they made. When does Game of Thrones come back on??
