I never said it was going to be a major, opn screen plot zone, Las Vegas that is, but it is a likely layover spot for the harem dodging trip and good for the
'Meanwhile' scenes where characters that will be annoying Zeke and friends are congregating.. The idea of Ranma and Sosuke in such a culturally
diverse place as tourists is kind of amusing. That can't end without something random and inexplicable happening... Ranma will have to end up with an ID
has one of those holographic fronts so it applies to both of Ranma... he'll be known by to many random people in charge of various things not to.
Never big on the 'alien Elvis theory', for one thing all the cool things that exist are just alien tech/ aliens in MIB... and only Harry Potter manages
to take 'Mind Rape makes everything better!' as such a casual part of everyday life,. Liked those movies and the cartoon... but that is a nasty
undercurrent. Personally, I'd take the 'Bubba Hotep' theory of what actually happened to Elvis over that one. It greatly amuses me that people
I've lent that movie to keep describing it as 'disturbingly plausible' and 'I can see that happening'. Just don't break his hip and
you can have the same effect.
Anyway, I remember this scene from Tenchi, probably a fanfic, but I vaguely remember the blob people soaps, that had the house females sitting around watching
an interplanetary TV channel with a soap opera staring blob people. When asked what they were watching, Washu goes on to explain that everyone loves this kind
of show... but no one wants to publicly admit it... so the blobs are the only ones that have the 'insert innards representing courage here' to actually
make them. Thus having the highest ratings for shows and no offical audience. Imagine such a scenario... and then image the black market when its discovered
that Earth has not only thousands of these shows filmed... but some literally have been running continuously for 40-50 years at this point. Some are in
'audio only' format... which means you can listen to them to keep yourself awake in boring meetings. I'm guessing radio has been a long, long dead
formatt in the greater galaxy.
I use that as an example of cultural bleed over. I'm guessing that half the galaxy will be stealing, or even outright franchising, Mystery Science Theater
3000. Even ignoring other groups' cinema... I can see it becoming a popular format for addressing other people's political speeches. Or in a
different format... History Channel style documentaries that will explain what is going on the heads of society X. Or how X got that way.
I'm not telling you to spend much time on this kind of thing... but its inevitable at some point Zeke and Co will end up off world. And he is know to be
attached to Lum. So even if its seeing some aliens with imported from Earth denim pants, there will be bleed over.
