Perchance to be reunited with his long-missing fianc\u00e9e, Beth?<br \/>\n2) Men are not a necessary ingredient to make pirates entertaining. Yar!<br \/>\n3) In a world without men, lesbians really do show up a lot more often. Mmmm, lesbian pirates.<br \/>\n4) You know all those action movies where the bodyguard dude is keeping some material witness or annoying-voiced diva singer safe, and they start to fall in love? I guess it&#8217;s reasonable for that to happen in reverse too.<br \/>\n5) I suppose that&#8217;s all? It was a surprisingly short book.<br \/>\n6) Oh, and dream sequences are still always awesome. See also the Sopranos and that one episode of Buffy at the end of the fourth season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things I have noticed about Y: The Last Man today, while noting that some of the things may be specific to the volume I&#8217;ve read, Girl on Girl, and not necessarily to the entire series: 1) The stars are aligning in an always entertaining but still highly improbable manner to get Yorick all the way [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,430],"class_list":["post-348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-words","tag-graphic-novel","tag-science-fiction"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/delirium.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
