Headscratchers / Lloyd in Space

Go To

  • In 'Thrilla At Intrepidvilla' it is mentioned by Kurt that Lloyd has orange blood and in 'Love Beam #9' we see that Lloyd blushes with an 'orange-like' tinge. Wouldn't it be more logical for his blood to be a darker shade of green, like forest green? I feel it'd be more pleasing, color theory-wise, than orange.
    • Maybe just to drive home how alien and different Lloyd is—human skin tends to be shades of pink and brown, and their blood is red and dries brown. Ergo, Lloyd is strange and unusual because his blood is much different than his skin tone.
  • Why are the days of the week still the same, but the months are different? Both are named after mythological figures, with the days of the week being named after Norse figures, while the months are named after Roman figures. However, as seen in the example for Hold Your Hippogriffs, the months have names like Grogust and Chebuary, yet the days of the week are still the same name. It's clearly not an in-universe attempt to differentiate from 'Earth culture' as the days of the week are still, you know, named after Norse mythology.
  • In 'Babysitter Lloyd', why doesn't Lloyd contact Nora and explain what's been going on? While Lloyd might not have her number like Station does, there is nothing physically stopping him from finding someone who does and explaining the situation to his mom that way. While she did say 'no fighting' as a rule, there are not many points going to Francine for not only shorting out Station's hard drive to keep him from calling her but also blackmailing her brother because she knows he wants the fifty crontars.
    • Then again, this show tends to treat Francine as being infallible in her actions and turning Lloyd into the buttmonkey, not just regarding the two, but the show in general. Would Nora have unfairly gone off on Francine as she did to Lloyd if the events of The Big 1-3 happened to her, instead? Considering her telekinesis and New Powers as the Plot Demands, blowing up an entire powerplant sounds like a regular Tuesday in Francine's book.
  • How sentient is Station and the rest of the robots, anyway? While the show makes them out to be as sentient/sapient as the rest of the organic cast, with the capability to fall in love and act as if they have actual personalities and emotions, are they truly sentient? Or are they just going through the motions of being a person and whatever personality they have? After all, they seem only to be in relationships with and attracted to other robots, e.g themselves. And again, while the show implies that they are in fact sentient as anyone else, there's nothing saying that they're sentient or just astoundingly realistic artificial intelligence.
