Some notes about "Inlaw Blues" As always, spoilers below! Thog gets to find out how the other half lives when she and Sperr visit his family home on Alpha Sauria IV. Sperr's family is ultra, ultra rich and the disparity between how he grew up and how she grew up is pointed out to her. Sperr's mother takes an instant dislike to Thog, recognizing that her social station is far below Aceed's. Thog recognizes this, and is disturbed by it. This sets up the next two episodes, where Thog tries to do something about this. 2.3 can best be thought of as a prequel to 2.4 and 2.5 I didn't want to do another 'fish out of water' episode where Thog does everything wrong in dealing with the upper crust. While there did turn out to be some of that in the story, I think enough of Thog's alienation came through to get across what I was trying to do. The story ran a little short, so I threw in a mini adventure with the Aikido. I've been writing bits and pieces of the Black Queen stuff since the end of Season One, not really sure what I was going to do with them. Next Up - "Long Time, No See"
