Happy Birthday.

I liked the parking ticket alien.

I thought she was horribly passive aggressive. Death may be too harsh a punishment for that but I feel sadder for Alien Vatchel. He was just doing his job.

@Marcus_Cortez, ha! Lovely. HGTTG at its best. :)
@Coyoty, if it involves me getting to eat your cake as well, you’re on.
@Ronald, excellent point. Guess you’ll have to keep reading to know if I have plans to change that. ;)
@KingInYellowTatters, it is particularly sad, I agree. I will not bring her back specterally ala Obi Wan (though that would be awesome), but her storyline isn’t totally over.

I don’t believe it! Red-9 actually did as Martina asked!

I know Fiyena was kind of a loose hanging thread in the whole Pierrot/Emily/Fiyena love triangle thing, but seeing her incinerated into ash is still really sad. She was a sweet girl (despite being kind of a spineless doormat, like the rest of her species), and didn’t deserve to die. It’s just sad… :(

But neither of them are aliens, so the basic point remains. :-)

Actually, Yuri and Dimitri have got it on, too.

Speaking of Fiyena, it occurred to me: Pierrot has been with Fiyena. Dimitri has been with Shuar, Dal, Choan, and no doubt many others (although A F A I K those are the only three confirmed lovers who’ve been seen on-panel; Dimitri has FLIRTED with additional aliens on-panel but none of those were confirmed to have become his lovers). Dusty, well, Dusty probably wouldn’t sleep with an alien even if one showed an interest.

Seems sort of unfair that none of the human women have enjoyed any alien affection.

Obviously individual characterization is a factor:

Having been raised by coyotes, for example, Emily probably values monogamy, since mated coyotes tend to stay together for years.

There may or may not be real-life statistics on whether chronically depressed people who live mostly in self-isolation are more or less likely to seek out “meaningless” sexual encounters, but I’m not sure if they’d apply to someone whose depression is rooted in mass murder, as Martina’s is.

And Yuri, well, even if she still has cybernetic “self-pleasuring” capabilities, she now seems to be part cat, so I’m not sure how that would factor in.

So, food for thought at the very least.

I think Dmitri and his wet bar would make a dandy t-shirt.

Christopher, you are one sick puppy. You have many other wonderful characteristics as well.
