Trivia
Warden Norton's death from The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is mentioned, with a guard saying that "you can still see the bullet hole."

Goofs
It's not likely that Warden Norton's suicide bullet left a hole that would still be seen all these years later: in The Shawshank Redemption, he was sitting in front of a window when he shot himself. The blood and brains are splattered on the glass behind him, not on a wall.

Quotes
Dale Lacy: When they find you, ask for Henry Deaver. Henry Matthew Deaver.

Not bad.

Very intriguing first episode. Feels enough like Stephen King to moisten the palate and feel welcoming, and just original enough to not feel like a do-over in the eyes of us who have read much of the man's work. Looking forward to continuing.
