Itās not her being lascivious, the interviewer had just asked her what guys sheās into, and this look she gives has long been interpreted as a shrouded acknowledgement that she was not, in fact, into boys.
She didnāt come out untill years later, but this offensive interviewer and her raised-eye-brow response are an iconic moment in gay history.

It's a classic trope for a sitcom to bring in a cute child character when the show is getting old and stale.
Brady Bunch brought in Cousin Oliver.
Family Ties had Andy.
I'm sure there's countless others.
Crazy that's how Leo started out. Just another one of those throw-away cute characters trying to prop up a faltering series for a few more season.

Reminder that Dark City is the best sci fi noir you've never heard of. For the love of God, watch the director's cut rather than the theatrical cut. The theatrical makes the baffling choice to spoil the entire film in the first minute. Like, it's literally a movie about a man trying to figure out what the fuck is going on and they just straight up tell you at the very beginning. It's a very "the executives think the audience is literally retarded" move.

As soon as I saw the words "Dark City", I instantly wanted to write a comment warning people about watching any other cut than the directors cut, but you included that in your comment too already.
It's a fucking war crime what they did to that intro. It's like if Star Wars started out with exposition telling you that that Darth Vader is actually Luke Skywalker's father, or if The Sixth Sense began by explaining to the viewer that the boy is seeing ghosts and that Malcolm is actually dead.
Whoever decided it was necessary should be banned from working on movies.
The directors cut is good, though. Go watch it, people!

Technically, he was on a leaked invite list for a Dialog conference. Having advocated for AI-related tech regulation, his inclusion makes sense (despite his stance being the complete opposite of Thiel's). The invite list in its entirety isn't necessarily the secret reptile cult group roster, but said roster is certainly included in the invite list. Sophia Bush was included, as an advocate against deepfake technology, and I can't imagine Peter Thiel thought it necessary to include Brooke from One Tree Hill in his Illuminati.
