Why in Database: This series is two ten-episode seasons (there will be more), the story is based on a comic book series of the same title. Turtle motifs appear in it in three episodes of season one and in one episode of season two. In the first (We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals) and the sixth (The Day That Wasn’t ) there are turtles in the form of “figurines”, which are probably real stuffed turtles. In addition, in the fifth episode ( Number Five – Number Five) the music of the band “The Turtles” is used, to be specific, their most recognizable song, “Happy Together“.
In the second episode of the second season (The Frankel Footage) on the desk of one of the characters you can see a turtle shell, used as a decoration. In season three, the turtles only appear in the dialogues, in episode eight (Wedding at the End of the World) Klaus claims that father on this season is different, he is like a turtle, tough on the outside but nice and sometimes delicious inside.
In Episode 10 (Oblivion) there is another mention, the character on the TV says that once people believed that the earth rest on four flying turtles.
– This dad’s different. He’s a turtle. Hard on the outside, but all cute and wrinkly and occasionally delicious on the inside.
– In the Quantum Age, time and space are suspected to be a holograph. Ancient people believed we rode on the back of four flying turtles or on the horns of a white buffalo.
