His Divine Shadow
Thank you so much Aleck, as far as that “right and wrong” thing. Because, as far as I can remember, both of those mad fools Hitler and Stalin thought they were right as rain to try and obliterate the millions of people that they killed. Yet, somehow, the world thought “evil!” However, I do agree that doing evil when you [b]know[/b] it’s evil is just, well, pretty darn evil! And, that puts Prince and HDS both in the evil realm. Mantrid was just a crazy SOB, period, especially after that merge thing happened to him (and, he wasn’t so tightly wrapped before).
And, I’m afraid I have to disagree with ya, Dalek, I think HDS possesses about as much humanity as I possess subtlety. Are you sure we’re watchin’ the same Lexx videos? The HDS I saw coldly told two people to shoot themselves, just for the heck of it. “Be a love, if you wouldn’t mind, just shoot him, now shoot yourself, oh no reason. Just exercising the ole Divine Shadow Will ‘n’ all, y’know!” On the other hand, better yet, “Divine Shadow, Cluster Lizards are devouring your followers in the arena, Dude!” Is he upset, NO! Instead he’s peeved because his “meditation” is disturbed and even hints that the guard is gonna get his later for disturbing him! Oh, yeh, HDS’s a real humanitarian. I ‘feel’ his pain and inner conflict.(NOT!) HDS is a wolf is sheep’s clothing or, in this case, a bug in human skin, that’s all. His last host has a few synapses firing messing up the works but that’s about it. The divine boy’s a bug! As for Prince, I also believe there was no real humanity there to work with, either. These were just two different critters of a whole ‘nother ilk. We’re just used to and are more comfortable thinking in terms of our own humanity.
Reveal, personally, I think that guy from “Time Bandits” hired Prince, their Supreme Being.”Do you mean you knew what was happening to us all the time?”
“Well, of course. I am the Supreme Being. I’m not entirely dim.” He’s running the test centers (Fire and Water) and Prince, Duke, et al are his employees.
Trillian, that Prince being the most powerful ‘cuz he was the first sounds cool, but he isn’t the only one who remembers and is aware of the passage of any time. Remember, Duke has this same ability, too. Remember when he got shot by Prince and fell off the gondola and said there is always another time? I was kinda bummed out that the Beans didn’t expand Duke’s part more since he was so similar to Prince, in terms of ability. Maybe, like FX pointed out, he was just a higher-ranking spirit; close to Prince but not quite his level. Now, I’m gonna try and close this and restart this on a new thread so there’s less to wade through. If I screw it up. Take numbers and form a line; whippings start after 4pm.
(BTW, Dalek, I hope you’re happy. You’ve got quite a lively and pleasant discussion going on here! And, you were after everyone had all gone cold turkey Now, excuse me, I must attempt to cluster**censored** this thread closure [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img])
