Oh, there are lot of interesting origins in Luis Prada’s article for Cracked, like how the Millennium Falcon was brought on by fast food, or Ursala from The Little Mermaid based on a drag queen, among others.

Maybe I need to do a web search or something to explain why this plan is so evil? Why can’t the Captain simply arrange a mating between these two? Is it too close to the new racing season? Does mating ruin a horse’s racing career somehow? It’s a sticking point that is making it hard for me to get into this story. And yet we keep seeing the Captain lulling Alec further into some insidious web rather than trying to start a breeding program between Black and Ghost. We’re almost half-way through the book so I don’t think answers are going to be forthcoming.
