An old house, a geek, a cute transvestite, a very tall lesbian, and at least one ghost–what could happen? – Adult situations and artistic nudity. Not suitable for children.
Nah, her facial features strongly resemble Luna, she mentioned Terran blood, and a gin runner great grandfather. Currently (with no spoilers) we can guess she is descended from the original owner of Carly’s house who was identified as Ace’s great grandfather. Since she resembles Luna, it is reasonable to assume the connection includes her, so through Larry. Cousin or sister or half sister is still unknown.
That “high density alcohol” would probably be butanol. Butanol may be used as a fuel in an internal combustion engine. It is more similar to gasoline than it is to ethanol. A C4-hydrocarbon, butanol is a drop-in fuel and thus works in vehicles designed for use with gasoline without modification.
I love how she starts out bitching about “expect me to know how this works just because my father’s a Terran” … and then immediately opens her mouth and demonstrates she knows how it works even better than some mechanics with 20 years experience. π
The refence to the great-grandfather gin-runner is interesting (although I think there’s supposed to be at least one more “great” in there, maybe two). That is almost certainly referring to the original owner of Carly’s house, who accidentally killed “Spooky” (the ghost who haunted Ace’s room).
Odd how the Orions know Ace’s whole family tree going back 100 years, and yet he doesn’t?
Another question about that old gin-runner ancestor… when did he have time to procreate? We saw him in love with his Scottish maid, but we never heard a hint of a wife or children; none seemed to be living in that house at the time. It would be one thing if his life continued on after “Spooky’s” death, leaving him the potential to start another family, but he shot himself in the head immediately after.
And this is when the supercomputer running “Relationship chart 3.5.2” blew itself up =P

“DUN DUN DUUUUN!!!”
Panel one had a great view, panel four just shows how great the rest has become π

Hm, have to remember to look this up.

“Let me tell the story – i can tell it all – about a mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol …”
I’ve been told – by somone who was working on an article about it – that the movie blamed the Dixie Mafia for what was actually done by the revenuers.
