About Endtown
It's the End of Civilization as we know it. A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders; well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the continuing story of one of those communities.

Pay no attention to the lizard behind the curtain.

The question is, is she being taken behind the curtain, or is she just coming from behind the curtain?

So… The Walrus WAS Paul?
Yes.. But, we don’t allow Walruses in our society!

Piotr: “First up, the pantry. You said you don’t want to eat eggs; that you want what the upper crust gets. So, how do you like your raccoon mouse sauteed?”

And that’s an invitation to make a reservation.

Well, guess there was a bit of faith that she’d change into something anthropomorphic during the change.

Once she’s given the tour, will they even leave her a choice? NOW, she can leave (maybe…Sarah hadn’t tried), but after they show her the colony?

So much for “romance”…
.
“I was assigned…”
.
And this magical mystery tour does not look good for Sarah’s furry friends.
.
On the other hand, if she is as self-centered as she has been portrayed, maybe things will be better for them after all…

Next week, we find out that the place is just the sets for the movie, Space Mutiny. Hope everyone loves railings!

I imagine she gave the matter some thought and decided that the option (dying young due to cancer) was worse.

Okay, so some real discussion about the lizard society, with no more beating about the bush about what it’s actually like? I’m all for that. I feel like Aaron’s been beating about the bush about getting truly in depth about what the deal in this place actually is…maybe now we’ll actually find out the full truth and nothing but the truth…or at least enough to deduce what it is with actual accuracy, rather than continuously speculating on what is and isn’t (even though I suspect we’ve all been on the right track for awhile now).

I think Sarah just wants to be a mother. Maybe lizards can really only do it with lizards. She and Jim sure were upset about ‘something’ as soon as their suits came off and they had a room to themselves. Remember how adamant she was against the lizards eating their own eggs… it wasn’t just the standard ‘oh you guys are such barbarians’ tripe you might expect. She didn’t seem to think it was disgusting so much as actually quite horrible! It made her ANGRY. An OUTBURST more than her usual miserable grumbling and dismissive attitude. When Wally told her not to judge, she withdrew somewhat to herself. She wouldn’t explain.
.
Perhaps pre-cancer she and Jim were going to be ‘inseminated’ (or however biosuit people reproduce without leaving their biosuits). Then when she was diagnosed they decided she wasn’t worth the resources. Linda the koala had a child she was made to leave behind, and Holly lost her unborn baby, so this could be a recurring theme.
.
In Endtown egg eating had definitely been explored, but more as a ‘resource’ type of issue. The anthromorphs producing them were literally throwing them in the trash. Same goes for the milk; it was a resource issue. For Sarah’s story, perhaps, she wants a child.
.
Now, she could always ‘make’ one with Piotr and then escape with Jim… with that, it is hard to tell. Especially since she may fear the colony would take her egg away. To, you know, eat it. Especially if it creates a little non-lizard embryo inside. Jim could adopt. Would he want to? Likely. He became an anthromorph for her.
