There was the Klingon restaurant owner. Admittedly only a few brief appearances/mentions.

That retooling is even more wonderfully ridiculous than you let on.

Oops. You're right. I missed that.

Possible. It's not clear that the others can pass along the gift, or just Irisa.

He's a legal alien, just like Sting.

For all we know, they pee bleach. That put a different perspective on all those perfectly white surfaces. :-)

Paying for hotels, meals, and gas is one thing, financing an elaborate, expensive long con is another. Still, anything's possible, I suppose.

"but sex remains fundamentally about reproduction, and for humans, any sexual engagement happens with that in mind"

That could also work as Irisa's nickname, if she ever gets tired of "Little Wolf".

Humans and Bonobos engage in non-procreative sexual relations all the time in various ways, for various purposes.

In a sense it is conservative, because it appears to be very much a family thing. So, it's parallel to a human family having a strict rule of always having dinner together, no TV etc., family time.

I wouldn't call dumping Andersen's dreary misogyny from the original a "bastardization" but to each his own.

FWIW, the Late Bronze Age collapse happened about 3000 years ago in the eastern Mediterranean. It was a result of both environmental issues and warfare Maybe the mysterious Sea Peoples were an abortive first invasion by Votans? (I highly doubt the show will go in that direction).

"The key element is that this is now about Irisa’s story in the present. It’s her actions, and lack of control over those actions, that keep the story motivated, as opposed to waiting for people to come in and explain what’s going on."

That has break some serious taboos I think. I suspect you are supposed to take a pre-bath bath if you're that dirty.

Yeesh. That's just piling on the absurdity.

It was a good use of "hanging a lampshade on it" in my opinion. The writers admitting that yes, this love triangle we set up is pretty juvenile, isn't it.

"What stood out to me about the Kristen-Arturo custody battle was how relatively unimportant Wilfred was to the plot. "

Malvo isn't big on leaving survivors.

The basic stories are accurate, but faithfully transcribing every stumble and misstatement in the exposition is the engine that drives the comediy.
