Rygel seemed particularly at home on Earth.
Yes, all that wonderful stuff of Rygel getting a sugar hit and saying, "What, you pay for this dren?" When we first spoke about him we thought about Hamlet, which sounds extraordinary, but the thing about Hamlet is that he is an amazing character because he's only revealed by his interreaction with other happenings and other people. And this is what we stuck to with Rygel. Rygel can be anything, and depending on his circumstances and what he wants, he'll react quite differently to things.
I think that's a very human ability. Our very erraticism is what makes us different, isn't it? Rygel follows a very clear line, but under those circumstances, he gets back to Earth, he can deal with it, because he's always been a refugee. Also, he doesn't have to conform to received norms, he is how he reacts at that moment, and that's what the great thing about doing it has been.
