Yeah, I didn’t expect the Time Prophet thing to hold up. It was just a thought.

But the Brunnen-G thing is still possible. They wouldn’t have to have left Brunnis-2 and been killed previously. All I’m saying is that it’s possible that some of the Brunnen-G His Divine Shadow killed at Brunnis-2 may have been old enough to have lived on Brunnis-1, and that could be where the memories come from. Kai says he has the memories of others His Shadow killed, so it’s reasoable to say the Divine Shadows had those memories. And I assume they were collected at the assault on Brunnis-2.

I don’t think any Brunnen-G from Brunnis-2 went to Brunnis-1 to die. Any deaths on Brunnis-2 would have been sudden and unexpected (except for “death by aging” as a form of execution). And I don’t think any Brunnen-G would have gone all the way to the Time Prophet to ask about mineral deposits on a planet that wasn’t even Brunnis-2.

Another possible way of explaining the time discrepency could be derived from the fact that the Time Prophet gives the 5,000 year figure when talking to the person who asked the question. So she may have meant in his years. It is possible that years on Brunnis-1 were a third the length of standard years. The planets orbited two suns, and one was massive (it was probably a yellow giant at the time the Brunnen-G still lived on Brunnis-1). Greater gravity causes objects orbiting at the same distance to make faster revolutions. But this is a rather far-fetched explanation.

I don’t remember the site. It was toward the beginning of my [i]Lexx[/i] interest. I remember thinking it was funny that 790 was also His Divine Shadow. And if you listen to the scene where the Divine Predecessors are discussing the prophecy, the one that confesses to preserving a Brunnen-G does sound sort of like 790.

Also, Ellen Dubin said she thought (though she didn’t seem completely sure) that Marty Simon provided the voice of one of the brains Giggerota speaks to in [i]Super Nova[/i]. If this is true, it would probably mean that Brain No. 14 survived [i]I Worship His Shadow[/i], and thus could not be the one Kai crushed. But that’s still not proof.
