[[WMG: Postscript from the series: Mindy says goodbye to Mork and her father.]]
Years after the series' ending, Mork dies of natural causes in 2014 (compared to Robin Williams' suicide), while Fred Connell also lives a long life before his passing in early 2022. Both times, Mindy is able to be at their sides at the time they draw their last breath. Mindy and Cathy (to whom he had been married 42 years) are both at Fred's bedside in his final hours, and shortly before Fred loses consciousness for the last time, Mindy says some very tender, touching words: "Say hello to Mommy for me!" Which Fred, gasping for breath, says he will, as he smiles at her before he passes on. Beth Connell had died almost 64 years earlier, but you knew he was going to see her again, and that he'd be in Heaven ... with Mork. (This, as opposed to that awful day in 1958 when a then 7-year-old Mindy was not at her mother's bedside, her family knowing she'd be too young to understand.)

[[WMG:Mearth was conceived by Mork performing oral sex on Mindy.]]
More specifically (spoilered because it's kinda {{Squick}}y): [[spoiler:When Mork [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Earning%20Red%20Wings earned his red wings ]]. Hey, the DNA had to come from somewhere.]] Mork was the one who was "pregnant" (he laid the egg) with Mearth. He laid the egg out his belly button, so the egg must have been developing in his stomach (or the Orkan equivalent thereof) beforehand. And it's implied that Mearth was conceived sexually. This is the most logical conclusion.
** As much as I really want to dispute this, I can't. Good call.



Even though Mork is otherwise male, he mentions in the pilot that it's hard to tell if men date women on Ork because "parts are interchangeable". In later episodes it's implied he does have something similar to human male genitalia (for example in "Mork's Vacation" when he switches bodies with another alien, he tells Mindy not to let them run away with the good parts "Especially that"). If we take all of this to be true (and ignore the fact that the show can't keep it's continuity straight), then, well, this is the logical conclusion. None of this seems to play a part in Orkan reproduction (see the Mearth's conception WMG above). Still, that must have one wild honeymoon.

* In season 4, episode 2, Orson does not want Mork to get married with Mindy because marriage is against Orkan law, so he turns Mork into a dog.

An otherworldly being with long hair and some wild ideas comes to Earth. The show says he's here to learn from us... but in a lot of ways, he is the one teaching us. He is innocent and pure of heart, and he has shown many times that he would sacrifice himself for Mindy. In fact, there was one episode where Mork has a "birthday" and must re-energize himself at the right time with an egg-shaped "gleek", or else he'll die. Well, he starts acting weirder than normal, and HilarityEnsues as usual. But the ending has him desperately trying to find the gleek in a carton of eggs; he smashes egg after egg against his head, but when he finally finds the gleek, he collapses before he can use it. Somehow he gets revived anyway. Divine intervention, perhaps?
