History WMG / SolarOpposites

* A key aspect of the foreshadowing in his DyingDream episode is that the story completely ignores information Tim wouldn’t have, such as having a daughter… And he specifically claims that there’s no lead paint at all in the cup that ‘killed’ him. The episode goes out of the way to have him describe it as a replica he had made to resemble the infamous poisonous cup, and then the story moves on. It’s extremely possible that someone else was poisoning him, fully expecting people to blame the glass… and then he was.

Either his homeworld didnt [[Main/CriticalResearchFailure factor in his emotional inadequacy for it]] or whoever was responsible just didn't care.

* He knew that drinking from the cheap restaurant drinking glass was poisoning him, but he was so racked with guilt over his actions that he just wanted to die.

Korvo consistently [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall,]] such as how he's fully aware of when episodes start and end, and how he performs the show's intro to his family every morning. Other characters acknowledge it occasionally, but usually in much more brief forms where they don't dwell on it too much. Korvo, as the main character, has the time to ruminate on his existence and is therefore incredibly sour with needing to participate in what he sees as a stupid cartoon. Of course, since he's an alien, his complaints are relegated to the human things he's forced to engage with. This is also why he's so focused on building a ship to leave at first: with the family leaving Earth, ''Solar Opposites'' loses its wacky premise, and he doesn't have to deal with it anymore and can move on.

In "99 Ships", Aisha tells the team that there have been thousands of Shlorps and that "Shlorpians are always getting their homeworlds destroyed" but she never says why. The most recent Shlorp that Korvo and Terry are from was only thirty years old! Then in that same episode and the Silver Cops episode, we're are directly told that Shlorpians are actively arrested for "terraforming innocent planets" and are compared to mold spreading across the galaxy. This is because if you think about it, they actually are, their terraforming most likely kills all other life on the new Shlorps. And although the Shlorpians target uninhabited worlds, that doesn't mean that the potentially new Shlorps may not contain intelligent life or the planet doesn't have the capability to sustain such life. Imagine how much innocent and unsuspecting life was snuffed out due to terraforming. This explains why the Shlorpians are all treated as criminals, they're causing genocide on a planetary level. So when a new Shlorp is found its immediately purged and all of its colonizing ships are rounded up.
