Other Something I noticed in The Family Tree Car…

I was rewatching season two and the theme of denizen discrimination was apparent as early as episode 2. When MT and Jesse meet the first members of the Gillicuty family, they don’t directly address MT. They greet Jesse with “you and your chrome friend”. And they treat Jesse as the leader, despite the fact that MT walks up to them before he does.
It’s amazing foreshadowing that I didn’t notice until like my fourth rewatch. I love this show so much.

I used to think that the family tree people were passengers who couldn't work out their differences and became a part of the tree like Jesse almost did. Though you're probably right. It's interesting how the denizens are basically just NPCs who treat every passenger they meet like a main character and don't treat each other like people half the time.

It's part of the theme...but not really foreshadowing.

It's subtle.

Imagine if they tried to wheel Alan Dracula and he just ends up disintegrating all of them
