Each new story adds to the variety. It might introduce new elements like new characters or new locations which attract more viewers or readers. It also allows for different emotions to be explored, such as in one story it could be mainly about love, and in another about adventure, thus widening the appeal.
They also provided a contrast to the often - high - tech and action - packed plotlines. The love stories, like that of Spock and Uhura, brought a sense of softness and emotion. This balance between the hard sci - fi elements and the romantic ones made the series more well - rounded. It attracted a wider audience, including those who were interested in the emotional aspects of the characters.
The side story also adds to the lore by showing the relationships between different regions and cultures. We get to see how the Free Cities interact with Westeros in more detail, or how the Dothraki culture developed over time. This broader understanding of the world outside of the main plotlines in 'Game of Thrones' helps to build a more comprehensive and immersive lore.
It adds to the theme of loss. The love relationships in the show are fraught with difficulties and often end in heartbreak. This mirrors the overall sense of loss that pervades Cowboy Bebop.

For instance, Faye's lost memories are paralleled by her often fruitless search for love and connection.

The visual of Boy Story adds a lot to their overall appeal. Their good - looking appearances and coordinated outfits make them stand out. It gives them a certain charm that attracts fans.
The ghost story can create new connections between characters. For example, if a character has a personal encounter with a ghost related to their family's past, it can bring out new emotions and relationships. This not only adds to the individual character's story but also to the overall fabric of the series' lore as it shows how different elements are interconnected.
