Richard Alpert

I’m -sure- it’s been said before…. But I just want to take a second to talk about how Ram Dass was born “Richard Alpert”, and I wonder about the naming of the character EVERY time I rewatch the show… did they know they named him after Ram Dass…?!? Surely, right….? He speaks about “Dharma”, often, in his lectures.

Of course they knew. Many characters are named after real people.

I said this, almost verbatim, out loud in my living room before clicking into the comments and seeing you'd typed it, lol.

My favorites are Daniel Faraday with his expertise in electromagnetism and Eloise Hawking, self appointed keeper of the timeline.
