Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Okay, so, Zev's transformation into a love slave completely physically changes her body. Her clothing also shrinks to better fit her new body. Fair enough, maybe the Lusticon machine also has a feature that alters the size of the victim's clothing. However, the fact that her flat shoes suddenly become knee-high, heeled black boots is rather odd. Can the machine completely transform one's footwear, too?
    • This is a civilization where forced organ donation is a normal punishment, criminals are regularly fed to a Manhattan-sized insect to it can grow up to be big and strong and healthy and blow up dissenting planets, and the Lusticon exists in the first place; it's not so out of place that it can turn boring shoes into high-heels.
    • It is also odd that her arms change from being cuffed on each side of her head to being cuffed down at her sides. Is this deliberate, or a continuity error?
  • After being in suspended animation for thousands of years, Xev's hair grows considerably and goes from red to blonde with red streaks. Stan was also in suspended animation for the same amount of time... and his hair stays pretty much the same.
    • Might be a part of her cluster lizard physiology. Perhaps she reacts to extreme temperatures?
    • The Word of God excuse is that "Stan got hair implants when he was a Deputy Back-Up Courier".
  • Why does Xev still have an expiration date when she's been liquified and recreated with a different body, one significantly different from her original and made out of a guy who didn't have an expiration date?
    • More importantly, when she has been recreated from her DNA, why does she look different but have all her memories? That's not how DNA works...
  • Why does the crew make no effort to find a planet for Lyyeka to live on despite Kai telling her they;ll do just that and then getting upset when she egts hungry and needs to eat a couple episodes later?
  • Why is there absolutely no mention of the genuinely good/heroic things Stan did when he was arguing whether he'd go to Fire or Water? No mention of him refusing Giggerota and saving Zev in Supernova. No mention of him swooping to Zev's rescue in Giggashadow or Mantrid.
  • Why does Xev seem to forget she has super strength at times? Like when she was arrested on earth and tried to leave the prison? She should have been capable of out muscling two ordinary guards.
  • Why does everyone act like Kai is the only one who has died before? They lost Zev in Terminal? While it's true they establish Stanley doesn't remember anything Xev seems fully aware she died and came back in the episode it happened and Prince should be aware of that as well.
    • 790 himself/herself also 'died' in a manner of speaking when s/he was thrown off the bridge by Prince, not to mention the cube of brain s/he has obviously came from someone who died.
  • Were the Divine Predecessors aware of the insect motivation behind the Divine Order? They make no reference to it and are shocked when His Shadow decides to do away with them. In fact the entire awareness of His Shadow in regards to his insect origin seems murky at best. An explanation is that when the last Divine Shadow (who was corrupted by the mind of the body he was placed in) gathered the rest of his essence he unleashed the insect's full concious, rather than acting as a sub-concious nudging the Divine Shadow to create the League of 20,000 Planets.
