I suppose you could count Medea as an Argonaut as well, since she travels with them on the way back at least.

Medea was arguably the most important, without her they never would have succeeded

The Golden Fleece was a ram, so ewe can't count that as another female presence on the ship.

Actually the Golden Fleece was not a ram. It was the skin of a ram.

I sacrificed that point for the pun. So that went well

Charybdis was also the name of a biological horror in the Rogue Trooper comic. It was drawn by the late Steve Dillon at the time when I thought he was doing his best work.

Biological horrors. Shudder. I just saw a clip of the movie Akira. Lots of that there.

The battle at the end of Dark City is a homage to Akira.

location, location, location was the name of a TV show here, where two really annoying presenters would try and find properties for prospective buyers. One of them had a habit of telling people to demolish load bearing structures to make their new homes more open plan. She ended up doing a twee program niche craft designers got paid little or nothing for the opportunity to present their wares on TV. It was also clear that her researchers did all the work.

This is more the case that she's the daughter of a baron with connections, connections, connections.

I didn't think it polite to ask if that was the case.

I suspect Magnificus Sivana is more Quis's type.

Great Expectations is a sad story, though.
