In the case of Trip he would have been the one breastfeeding... from his arm. Even though he already has nipples. Don't get me wrong, it would have ridiculous sight to give Trip breasts, but that is just more proof how stupid this episode is. Not only is it dumb, its dumb on multiple levels.McAvoy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 4:51 amPretty much and at least when it comes to milk it can be replaced with formula.Frustration wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 4:29 pm Women produce breast milk. And they can be relatively certain that the child is genetically related to them. Those are the only two advantages women have over men when it comes to child care.
Just annoying to see the cliche Dads don't know what they are doing, Dads are clueless.
I've actually thought of a second alternate aesop for that episode too: ''the chestburster eggs from Alien are hilarious.'' Because that is the only way that baby was getting out of Trip naturally. Good luck if Phlox is hibernating that week!
Kind of adds a new - and much better - level to this episode. Maybe the Xyrillians aren't date-rapists, maybe they are black widow spiders. And the male Xyrillians are only going along with this because its either impregnate the alien to death or impregnate themselves to death.
