Shows and TV

I mean that, reading between the lines, the character storylines are likely based on real life Hollywood rumors. I think that's the point and why there are so many references. That implies that there really is a celebrity that had sex with an Octopus or other animal. There's actually a (really unsubstantiated) rumor about Tom Cruise and a fish, and since the Deep is sort of made to be Tom Cruise in the Scientology cult... I think there are a lot of Easter eggs like this in the show. It's a warning.
