Of course one can question if we should be feeding into the The Meep's megalomania by constantly referring to The Meep as the The Meep multiple times per sentence, as this does seem to be about the The Meep's hierarchical position as The Beep of All The Meeps- (like when Scottish clan chiefs are called eg. 'The Macdonald')- and yet the show seems to establish 'The'- okay it's not gramtically really a pronoun, but as some sort of 'space pronoun option', not just for evil dictators?- see the (The?) Doctor address The Vlinx directly something like 'Hey The Vlinx, can you...'

(Some people specify no pronouns for themselves.) 'The Meep says that The Meep's pronoun is always the definite article.' Which did feel gramatically very awkward at first, but you get used to it- we really do speak like this sometimes in (queer) German.
