They're still a pretty huge deal in the tech start-up world, at least in places I've worked: rent out a trendy restaurant or hotel, have an open bar, hire a B-list pop star, etc.
Gotta keep things "lit" for all us entitled millennials ;)

SecondSeason World!

As I understand it, Hendrick's has barely any juniper - certainly not enough to taste (prompting some gin purists to comment that it doesn't really "count" as a pure gin because of how juniperless it is). Its herbal flavor comes mostly from cucumber and rose.

Patrick Warburton will always be Brock Samson.

YES - my biggest complaint. Three equally improbable and unsatisfying answers:

(as seen in the flashback to the people raving and crying in the church, and Ford's quote along the lines of "their malfunctions certainly were colorful")

Our future president's cabinet appointees are on Reddit?

Um his first name is clearly "Man In"

ALSO:
Elsie = Maeve's Daughter
Bernard's Wife = The piano-skeleton in the opening credits.
Arnold = A horse

MAYBE YOU'RE NOT REAL!

I think they hand-waved it a little bit when Maeve first "woke up" when she said that she knew the low-level techs had figured out an admin-access hack so they could have sex with the hosts and then delete that record.

Trump: "You've had your whole fucking life to think things over, what good's a few minutes more gonna do you now?"
America: "Please! Don't hurt me!"
Trump:"I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just…

Here's all you need to learn: if a thing is enjoyed by enough people, it then becomes "cool" to make fun of that thing. That's all that's happening here.

Tip: prepare to be patient with the Alamo. I went last night and last weekend, and they're still working out a LOT of kinks. Food running out, wrong food delivered, oversold movies, long lines.

Oh, then you'll be the right person to ask: did you upload Arnold's consciousness into Bernard?

Ay Papi!

If only Ron narrated these movies Arrested Development-style.

THAT sounds like an perfect Key & Peele sketch.

Well, that, and Ford points to an old picture of himself and Arnold on his desk in the first exposition scene, and it's a dude we haven't seen before.

And it seems like Ford is at least somewhat aware of what Bernard is up to, with his line "Be careful you don't mistake them for real…because your son died."
