I Worship His Shadow: 2 questions

Brigadoom and Stans Trial are two very important episodes for this explaination.

What I took from (Brigadoom) this episode was similar to the Taelons in EFC(Earth Final Conflict) and several other Sci-Fi Fics. That when a race becomes immortal they become stagnant. Unable to evolve any further etc….

I believe SGT is completely correct. After the insect war the BrunnenG could *not* adapt. Thats why they were using outdated and extremely inneffective insects against an insect that had evolved its technology much further since the war.

In “Stans Trial” Kai defends Stan calling him a “Tainted Hero”. Clearly to me this was a precursor to learning that Kai himself had been tried once very similarly. In fact after rewatching this episode I really think that Kai was mostly referring to his own trial when defending and his insistance that justice be served albeit meaning Stans death. Thats not important but Id thought Id throw it in there [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Kais trial showed just how intolerant and stagnant the BrunnenG had become. So when Kai gathered the other newborns they were forced to use the old technology and ships from the insects war.

Sgtdraino explaination is what Ive always believed as well. When you are fighting an enemy and getting your ass kicked the way humans were, you adapt or die.

Against insects conventional weapons dont seem to work. Lexx ate a 20 someodd megaton nuke like it was a hot chili. Lexx may or may not be a good example of an insect during the war. Its the most powerful thing in the two universes but then again, no other insects are around. And it was designed by humans not the Insects. The only way a human could of designed a weapon like the Lexx was to have had some pretty good experience with it.

Therefore I think Humans had to have used insect tech to win. And thats also why Kai is flying an insect, because the BrunnenG hadent evolved since and most seemed so mild so welcome to death that Im sure military buildup and evolution hadent been an issue since the war.

Just my opinion, something fun to speculate until/if the truth is ever revealed.
