The license plate dqf-8093 on the stolen minivan was used in Rescue Me (2004) and Person of Interest (2011).
Keith David was also in Requiem for a Dream (2000), a movie with heavy heroin usage. In this episode, during Elliot (Rami Malek)'s opiate withdrawal induced hallucinations, Keith David plays the voice of Elliot's beta fish, qwerty.
Origin of the Title:
- In computing, a daemon is a computer program that runs in the background rather than being operated by the user. The term was coined by Mac users at MIT to describe software, generally known in Mac parlance as system extensions, that keep the OS running smoothly.
- The extension: .mp4 is a audio/video file format, commonly used for video files. It has replaced .avi as the most common format for illegal audio/video files.
A 1995 movie Hackers (1995) plays on the motel television. The movie follows the exploits of a group of gifted high school hackers and their involvement in a corporate extortion conspiracy which mirrors Elliot (Rami Malek) and fsociety actions in the show.
Romero (Ron Cephas Jones) breaks the fourth wall when he says "right now some writer's working hard on a TV show that'll mess up this generation's idea of hacker culture" referring to the show.
The voice of Elliot (Rami Malek)'s fish Qwerty is actor Keith David.
Mobley (Azhar Khan) mentions a 1982 movie TRON (1982). The movie tells the story of a computer programmer who is transported inside the software world of a mainframe computer where he interacts with programs in his attempt to escape.
1981 video game Donkey Kong is heard at fsociety base.
During his hallucinations Elliot (Rami Malek) sees Error 404 Not Found error message in the place where a house moments ago was standing. 404 error message is an H*TP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested, referring to the house that Elliot was looking for.
Just before Elliot (Rami Malek) has his withdrawal hallucinations, the movie Hackers (1995) is being shown on the television in the motel. Jonny Lee Miller is one of the leads in Hackers (1995), and who is perhaps best known for his role as Sick Boy in Trainspotting (1996), a movie which not only similarly depicts withdrawal hallucinations, but centers around the the drug heroin, which is the drug Elliot takes in his first hallucination.
