Although now I'm wondering who'll they'll introduce to explain to Sookie (and thus, the audience) about fairy-stuff.

I was exposed to this at an early age, growing up in Fairbanks, Alaska. An establishment called Alaskaland had a little zoo off to one side. The moose and musk oxen were basically fine, but their one bear had gone completely insane years earlier. It had a sort of Mayan step-pyramid in its enclosure, and spent all of…

Quite frankly, pretty much all the new Futuramas seem off to me.

It also happens everytime there's an article about folks who think there are insects under their skin.

Myself, I mentally cover it the same way I do with folks playing pixie-type characters in a modern-supernatural RPG I'm involved in.
