There were a few things that felt off. The mother they never say the name of. Who was she beyond the one who found and began raising Lois before she died of cancer? It was a plot-point that either a) was dropped or b) just a way to make her less connected to the Lanes.
I thought it was to show how exactly young Lois was when she lost her 'Mama' that she never really knew her real name or knew her outside of the relationship of the parent / child relationship.
I would rather have seen her being the (first-run) adopted daughter of Same and Ellen. It would have been interesting to see.
I agree. That also would have been interesting twist, being raised by adoptive grandparents who weren't at all exactly thrilled at what their adoptive daughter had done (of course, Lois's "Mama" would have told them Lois was her own child).
