Scrubbed? Looks to me like this thread is still here.

It was! Also time travel, Cthulhu royalty, Princess Diana conspiracies, and glossolalia spells.

Basically it's the X-men with drugs, drag and alternative sexuality. Instead of fighting the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the Sentinels, they fight a conspiracy theory protected by servitude to chittering monsters.

It needed Sydney to get to Kerry, because neither is a telepathic mutant. With Oliver, it found a home almost as nice as David's head.

"War is over, if you want it, " was a musical reference too.

Maybe they just feel free to vary the levels of animation from character to character, as well as show to show. I love Lapis so much, in all of her episodes! And Pearl in most of hers (so bossy sometimes, though her putdown to Holly Blue Agate was classic).

"I mean, sure, there were some red flags. Everything was a red flag."
