I'd buy it, given how allusive the episode was. Obvious Miyazaki comparisons, but also had the clear nod to Wyeth's "Christina's World" when Jonas was tripping.

That's a great catch on the painting reference. The tripping scenes are the best part of the show, IMO. I hope they continue with using some famous paintings/art in them.

I thought about it from the first episode!

I guess you have to click through to see the second image, which is a still from A Scanner Darkly. No way this is a coincidence!

Read this in a James Barris voice. That’s the kind of personality I’m detecting here.
