can i galaxy brain for a moment?
my theory is that simone serves the literary purpose of the everyman, like watson in sherlock holmes or nick carraway in the great gatsby. she is the vessel by which the viewer relates to and understands the world, ie the events of each episode of overboard. this is further evidenced when she references the memes that the audience would immediately draw associations to, or laugh incredibly loudly at goofs. that’s why she’s the only one who catches on to being gaslighted by brian in werewolf (though she is quickly convinced afterwards) and she begins to graffiti the stars in cosmic encounter when the viewer too begins to be confused by the events that occur.
