Was rewatching Islands, there are sooo many interesting things left open ended!!!
Like the islands had to have had at least one more human migration (other than Two-Bread Tom and his folks) to explain the Swedish language population. Possibly there were even more, the islands seem pretty multicultural and Two-Bread Tom’s group was pretty small.
There’s also the Guardian and MoCo’s involvement in settling the islands! Presumably the islands would have had to establish contact with the main continent (there wasn’t any indication in Stakes that Moe was involved yet) Was there a time before they got super isolationist where there was still such a thing as human-Ooo relations?
BMO is compatible with all the human tech so that seems to imply either tech hasn’t changed that much or Moe was involved in standardization practices too! BMO also uses galaxy standard parts which is more evidence for all of Moe’s weird projects, but super cool if human tech might be compatible with the wider galaxy if they ever make their way there. BMO likely was around at the time too! He’s one of the first Mo’s and knows of the existence of Fraiser.
Moe has had his hands in like a million other unexplained things!!! We know nothing about his involvement with Mars or the Fire Giants! Overall he seemed just so secretive and I hope the factory kept records so all the information on these crazy projects didn’t die with him.
I also like really want to know more about the humans after Susan left. Minerva coming into power was a massive change to the entire structure of society, Seeker/Hider/Experimenter classes seem to no longer even be around. Generally the insane levels of authoritarianism has been toned down a bit. Like this is equivalent to a massive overthrowing of the government, and all of this happened within a single lifetime too! I really want to read like a fanfic or something that fills in the time period of re-ed to modern day in Frieda’s life. Lol should just try and write it myself probably but big projects like that are tough.
And lastly, this is less of a niche thing but also HOW DID MARTIN GET TO SPACE???
Anyway this was me rambling about the things that make me insane. Islands was sooooo great man. Like I am squeeing with joy as I write this (although I am also sad that a lot of this I will never have canon answers for).
