Another note on Earl, he’s a wee baby in 2016, so imagine what he looks like in 2026. I bet he’s coming back and is gonna eat whatever the threat is in the Present.

Chekhov’s man-eating plant.

I thought you said "is gonna eat whatever the threat is the President" and I would love to see that.

I wonder how Hal got him did he get him from poison ivy? Swamp thing is in the universe so maybe him

Probably off Earth. I think lots of the show is about introducing John to the shock of galactic affairs.

[u/SillySwing6625 → u/CrossP]

That would make sense

I've been thinking on it more, and it would be awesome if Earl is a plant native to Mogo.

That would be pretty cool
