The scene in Fosnight's apartment where he asks Alpha what color underwear he has on and she correctly answers "Red," would seem to be a nod to Superman (1978), when Lois Lane asks Superman the same question and he gives the classic answer, "Pink".
At 36:43 Officer Bellows and Alpha share an appreciation for the late science fiction author Isaac Asimov. Asimov created the Laws of Robotics which clearly apply to this android.
