The Vegetable Connection

There could be a connection between the probes and Lyekka, but I doubt the Trins are the ones aboard the ship Operation Hard Encounter failed to destroy. The Trins don’t seem to have any real civilization. All their knowledge comes from the minds they scan (which means that Stan, Kai, or 790 knew that Lyekka’s people were called “Trins”). On the other hand, I just read an article in Discover that says that plants communicate with each other using intricate systems of chemical pheromones. Apparently plants conspire against the insects that seek to destroy them. Hmmm… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

The probes look kind of like a cross between the flying pods in [i]Lyekka[/i] and Insects.

I think the reason His Divine Shadow was a piece in [i]The Game[/i] was because he was a major antagonist to Kai and his friends. It also likely foreshadows (no pun intended [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] ) the return of that particular villain at the end of the season. For some reason Walter Borden’s voice wasn’t in [i]The Game[/i], and the Divine Shadow head was voiced by someone else (Jeffrey Hirschfield?). Maybe Walter Borden wasn’t availible for the filming of that episode.

I think an interesting end to season four would be His Divine Shadow and Prince destroying each other.
