My daughter has a recurring nightmare about “The Bloop”, a monster that resembles a sentient blue car which comes into her room at night to steal her stuffed hamster Hammy then drives away. She says The Bloop needs a time out.

I read the novels before I officially joined as showrunner. This past year I reread many of them during development of the TV adaptation, to refresh myself on the storyline beats, character arcs, and lore!
