* The ending. We don't get to see Digger's journey home at all. We never found out what happened to the shadow. it's just...suddenly over. Just like that. Why don't we get to see Digger get home? Are we supposed to assume her's was a totally uneventful trip back? Never mind the fact that she wasn't even sure the caravan man would be able to get her home in the first place. But I could have even forgiven all that if the ending wasn't so damn sudden.

** "Left-hand" is also fairly common mystical speak for "corrupted", "evil", "subversive", or similar things - it's not unusual to call something like Satanism a "left-handed" religion. (See also ASinisterClue.) It's entirely possible that it's there just to sound scary. The Skins might not mean any harm, but they don't seem to have any problem with being unnecessarily ominous.

Added DiffLines:
* Is it ever explained what the skin lizards mean when they talk about the "lefthand names of God"? I find it odd and somewhat amusing that their love of purple ink was eventually revisited as an important plot point, while such an interesting phrase is never elaborated upon, to my knowledge.

*** Add the fact that marsupial pouches are actually fairly muscular... I suspect that a wombat with a young baby could probably get around well enough not to be bedridden, and new mothers probably are exempt from intensive labor.
