A lot of you might already know this, but for those of you who don't who are curious about the significance of the name at the end of the episode, read below.
Roy G. Biv was the name of a mnemonic device in the Paranoia RPG put out by West End Games in the 1980s (now available through Mongoose Publishing). It was used to remember the order of colors in the security spectrum in the game which also matched the order of colors in the chromatic scales. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Armed with the fact that this is all the colors of the rainbow, I don't think I need to spell out who Roy G. Biv is.

    Yeah, plus his face in the moon at the end, and the title of the sixth game.. it has to have all been orchestrated by Hugh. It makes sense too.. he's been at least referenced in every game, omnipresent but never too crucial for the plot. I can't wait to see how it all pans out..

    I've never heard of this game you're talking about, but the whole ROYGBIV thing is pretty common knowledge.

    Don't be angry. You have to use emetics(medicine to vomit/a nauseant) to express your multi-colored happiness :)

    I agree; I never heard of the rpg. ROYGBIV is used in school all the time and wiki makes no reference of the game, so I doubt it originated from that.

    The l in ROYGBlV is because of numberlogy

    No, the problem is that Isaac Newton, who apparently coined the spectrum we often use, was sometimes a superstitious weirdo. So he thought that by having seven colors it would be "better".

    It should really be ROYGBP in my book.

    P being purple.

    I don't see how my comment contradict yours since Newton added
    Indigo because of numberlogy; he wanted it to be 7 as in seven days of the week, 7 different planets, etc..

    Provided you're American/maybe British. I'm not, and I had never heard of it.

    It's the book Hugh Bliss sells, with the picture of the guy barfing the rainbow ;) I found that rather amusing when I looked up what emetics actually means :) so this book should show him the way to multi-colored happiness. Now I really want to get a copy of that book :o

    You don't need Hugh Bliss's book to vomit in different colors, all you need to do is to eat frute loops and that will make you barf in "multicolorer happyness"

    AHA! So Season 2 really does deal with a giant conspiracy by alien barfovores to prepare the earth for being used as a giant factory for producing canned barf! Incidious! And the Reality 2.0 plot was an attempt to capture everybody in a virtual world, while there bodies are stored in giant barferies! Extremely incidious!

    Seriously, though, I'm quite excited about both Season 1 Finale, and about Season 2. Not least after Jakes comment.
