The episode 1.08 I Robot, You Jane has a couple of similarities to the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The voice of the demon Moloch, when he’s still trapped in the computer, is similar to the voice of the murderous computer Hal in the movie. Additionally, the main student with whom Moloch communicates is called Dave, which is the name of the astronaut Hal talks to in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

That should read, “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” HAL then responds, “I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
