edit 2: or maybe i'm wrong about that.
beyond that, i didn't like the writing, it felt like the author was trying too hard while simultaneously neglecting the basics. sure this is nitpicky but who let "they could transform themselves into alien versions of themselves" be published.
the parts i liked best were its commentaries about gender and gender performance, how it blurred gender and sexuality. i wish Rita had a bigger role.
edit: THREE'S COMPANY IS A REAL TV SHOW??? i have no reference for '70s television so this whole time i was pretending it was a duller version of Friends
