Benjamin Franklin once said, “Players must remember that the best victory was not over the opponent but over oneself.” He played chess regularly, and after a streak of wins, he realized something. Maybe he was not playing to beat his opponent, but to beat his personal record. It was a mind game for him to beat himself. Neely Crenshaw relates to this quote. Does he really want to beat all of those football teams, or does he just want to prove to himself that he can? Neely has many victories, but not just on the football field; he returns to Messina after so many years, and he wins the battle against himself to forgive Coach Eddie Rake.

Sarah Lund is not presented as a (stereotypical) woman in regards to defined femininity.

Pearl is in love with Rose but is ultimately rejected as her romantic interest is assimilated into the heteronormative, leaving her bitter and resentful. Therefore, if, on one hand, the otherness of Rose as an alien is assimilated and normalized as she enters the heteronormative by beginning a relationship with the human male character Greg, Pearl’s deviousness as not only alien but also homosexual character condemns her to remain unhappy and alone. Still bound to her idealized vision of Rose and unable to overcome her issues, Pearl develops a crush for a human that looks just like her lost lover: the mysterious girl of Last One out of Beach City. Their story, however, has not been resolved yet: the mysterious girl’s presence was just a one-time occurrence and has not yet been featured in successive episodes; moreover, she was not even given a name or any line
