I spent most of this movie thinking: "Is this meant to be an allegory for interracial relationships?" and if it is, then I guess it the movie is against it as once the two "races" mix, both societies start to crumble.

Fred categorically does not exist. He only manifest when Phoebe Cates is going through tough times. First when her parents are fighting and splitting up and again when her own marriage is falling apart. He is the manifestation of her having a mental breakdown. Similar to Fight Club, sometime she SEES Fred doing things (like looking up the skirt) but sometimes she is the one actually doing the things (the physical things) She does sink the boat and do all the other terrible things, but not consciously, she is basically schizophrenic.

On this episode, every time someone referred to Rik mayall as "the actor" it hurt me. He was a comedy icon in the UK starring in shows like: The Comic Strip, The Young Ones, Bottom and Blackadder It was a day of national mourning here when he died.
