Back in the OG QL, that would have actually been Bass Reeves or his direct father/son.13B said:
One thing kind of bothering me, Ben seems to talk to the hologram in crowds, in front of people, etc. without trying to hide it. I think episode 4 might have missed an opportunity: there was a black Deputy Sheriff (I think his name was Henry) and another black townsperson named Reeves. Had they simply switched the characters names the Deputy could have been an homage to "Bass" Reeves.
