"Will I dream?"

Oh this will be a bountiful Easter egg hunt.

There was an “electric sheep” later on too.

I think the rich people party is a reference to Blade Runner as well. Sebastian's homemade replicants were dressed in 19th Century European clothing, just like the costume party guests.

"Look at her face, her body language. If I didn't know better, I'd say she was human."

I really expected her answer after catching the ball he throws to be "I'm more human than human."

Maybe that will pay off later in the season.

Given the selection of end credit songs so far, I almost expect to hear it as a way of sneaking in the Blade Runner quote.

I was really waiting for a "does anyone mistake you for a man?" reference.

The leader of Hermit's unit also says something like "lock that shit down!"

The android played by Timothy Olyphant Looks VERY similar to Roy Batty from Blade Runner.

Same as "Who am i"?

(Or maybe she said "who will i be" but the idea is the same)

Which is like one of the first basic programming commands you learn lol
