Thank you! This show somehow takes a ubiquitous theme like that, and still manages to stomp all over my heart with it. I love the juxtaposition of the robots and the fairy tales. Like you say, happily ever after is a delusion. The fairy tale is real; the Connors are perpetually in Oz with witches and monsters, but the ending is a fakeout. It's the "fairy tale," but there is no end, there are no ruby slippers.
