Last week right after Syd and David switched bodies, when David (who was really Syd at the time) was screaming "No!" and Lenny was trying to calm everyone down she said "he's in the yellow" to the orderlies.

That really stuck out to me at the time and I started to notice a lot of color imagery in the show, yellow, red, maybe blue and green as well. All the red flashes, red light on that dog cage, Syd's clothes start out blue but she later only wears red or. black with red accents, etc.

The color thing that I thought was the most "in your face" were those brown leather jumpsuits; David's was always brown with a yellow stripe and yellow pocket accents, but Lenny's was red, not yellow. Other random patients had either yellow or red (Syd never wore one).

Like I said, that stuck out to me last week and I've been wondering about it.

Then, this week after they got high off of the (always blue) vapor from the frog, Lenny kept repeating "yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather, red leather" just before David saw the yellow eyed devil.

Definitely something up with color.

ETA: oh, and Syd's montage song was about rainbows

David saying that the stars would talk to him, and they would talk to his father as well...

(Spoiler guess follows)

Cool riff on color.

I have a lot of questions and probably need to rewatch E1. But one thing that really stuck out to me last night was David's inability to see his father's face. Then it began to occur to me that we haven't seen his mother's face. So I now have an early theory (that could turn out to be very wrong): that we are not shown his mother's face because his mother is Syd, which is why he can never touch her in the "main" delusion that the audience is watching as if it is actually happening. David is *really* fricked in the head. Also, theory 1a - he killed her.
