* The other girls (Asian girl with glasses, EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette DarkActionGirl who looked like [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Shego]], and [[HeroesWantRedheads Kate]] - the last two coincidentally Lucas' ex-girlfriends) and random "background characters" are members of Lucas's SWAT team on point around the house. "Shego" might be a ColdSniper.

He's confused {{Ass Pull}}s and {{Idiot Plot}}s with being able to write an unpredictable character. Yes, the ending of the Wedding/Rory Arc managed to defy most of the haters' expectations, but not in a good way. As a goon put it, "I can reasonably predict what, say, [[Series/{{Lost}} Locke]] will do in a situation because his character is consistent, but it's ''impossible'' to say what Ethan will do." I doubt anyone expected Ethan to use his brains to beat the mobsters since it's not skill he uses very often -- seven seconds a day, according to him, and it's been longer then seven seconds since the mobsters started chasing him ([[ComicBookTime probably]]).

* Ethan's [[AloofOlderBrother older brother]] Rory is... Ethan's older brother. His childhood antics are no worse then other people's older brothers', but like [[UruseiYatsura Ran]] Ethan can really hold a grudge.

Alternatively, he's been hallucinating all this time due to the bad cereal he eats. Lilah was never interested in him, and his brain has been censoring both it and the existence of her real boyfriend. Sort of a reverse [[FightClub Tyler Durden]], if you will.

** Surprise us? That would be fucking horrible, how is that a surprise?!
*** Rory isn't the CompleteMonster everyone expected him to be, and Ethan's victory is because he's working equally with someone else instead of it falling into his lap by accident. But that's not going to happen: this arc will end with Bender and Fembot's DeusExMachina, Rory being led away by the gangsters he tried to screw, and Ethan and Leelah on their honeymoon with funds that mysteriously appeared.

This trope isn\'t just about appearance, and has been renamed (Aloof Dark Haired Girl) to reflect it.


* [[RichBitch Christian]]: Lilah's obnoxious ex-fiance is actually a female detective who stumbled onto the scene and is trying to rescue Lilah (Ethan only had a glimpse of her and thought the TallDarkAndBishoujo woman was a man).

Bet you ten dollars(USD).
* Speak for yourself, I actually like the strip. Now pay up.
** You're not alone. Random, yes. A little weird, definitely. But enjoyable.
*** Mark me as another one who likes it.
--> '''Bipedal Lightbulb''': This is not for your brains.
** Calling bullshit on both y'all.
*** Wow, talk about OpinionMyopia...
