I think that Stakes made a strong case for all of the Hyoomans being the remainder of humanity that escaped to safety on that boat. So they're all human, just varyingly mutated from 1000 years of living on Ooo. Susan just might have that Leela-style "least mutated mutant" thing going on.

I just mentioned this comparison on another comment, so forgive me for double dipping.  But this book reminded me of Heinlein even more than Old Man's War did.  This fits really well into the whole "world as myth" thing….

Seeing the original full broadcast of Fire Ant is something I think legitimately changed my comedic sensibilities.  I still, over a decade later, think back to the night where I spent 10 minutes watching a cartoon slowly move from one side of the screen to the other.  I'm not sure if it says something about the show,…

@avclub-75f023b01584c7f37883f41c2a2b91ca:disqus , it was killing me where I'd seen that rat torture before.  Now I'm not sure how I feel about knowing I saw it 2 Fast 2 Fucking Furious.

I wonder which cold war era entertainment gave me "do svidaniya" (with optional ", comrade" after it) as my sole Russian phrase? I know I have Hunt for the Red October to thank for giving me the ability to hum the Soviet national anthem.
