Sure, but the interesting aspect here is the Four-Formula; one female/three 
males:  one male-female couple with two "extra" males, one infantile, the 
other monstrous (who refuses to wear his uniform).  It's the psycho-sexual 
dynamic that provides the interest.  Not to mention it was a rocket to outer 
space that got this whole group started.
