You’re absolutely right. I wasn’t thinking about the non-agression pact, and was merely thinking about the generalized historical view of the Allies (G.Britain, US, USSR) and the Axis (Germany, Italy, Japan) powers, and thought you were saying that Germany was an ally of the aforementioned group at a point during WWII (we won’t get into the trade issues that went on with both sides before we got personally involved).
quote[quote][b]The analogy albeit flawed was meant to give people somewhat of a real world issue to see how factions and indivial cultures/countries are 2 different things. That was my only point in that analogy, not my historical memory sorry about that [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img][/b][/quote]
No apology needed. I was thinking in generalities, and you in specifics, and we both passed, like ships in the night.
Whatever that means. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]quote[quote][b]The other things since you asked are things like the portal we see in the original movies. Maybe it was explained but I dont remember. Why build a portal to the Dark Universe?[/b][/quote]
It’s been a while since I’ve watched the first movies, but was a portal actually *built*, or was it just a location in space? I was under the impression that it was merely an intersection, and was the only one known of by the majority of the populace.
quote[quote][b]Also from the original movies we see the Dark Universe Brunnen culture which has some of the most advanced technology that we’ve seen in Lexx period.[/b][/quote]
I agree, but I don’t think that any of it falls under what we expect of the Brunnen-G as far as technology goes. Nothing looks like it’s been derived from insects, whereas their Brunnen-2 technology is very insectile (the Stingers, etc.).
quote[quote][b]Again, why did the Brunnen leave the Dark Universe to look for a planet just because of their star? Why not just change solar systems. Id assume it’d be easier.[/b][/quote]
Well, as has been said, the Dark Zone is filled with depravity and evil (though there are some worthwhile planets). The quickest solution may have been to go through the portal into the Light Universe, rather than do as the LEXX crew and hop around from planet to planet, looking for a home. The main reason that I don’t believe that it started in the Dark Zone is down to this. If the Brunnen-G civilization had left Brunnis-1 *because* of the threat posed by the insects, they wouldn’t have the reputation of being the romantic warriors that they were (actually, they would have been known as the schmucks that led the insects into the Light Universe). It would have been like turning one’s tail and fleeing. The insects, on the other hand, would have been acting in utter stupidity if they followed them into the Light Universe, as it would seem to be going against the whole point of the war. They would have driven out the Brunnen-G menace and could take over the Dark Zone unhindered.
quote[quote][b]HDS in Mantrid also knows exactly how to get to the Dark Universe without using a portal. Again this isnt explained why he would know that unless he had to use it in the past. Before the portals perhaps back in the Dark Universe.[/b][/quote]
Well, there’s my semantic quibble with this…HDS isn’t in “Mantrid,” it’s merely Kai acting on the agenda imprinted on his psyche by the small amount of insect essence he’d absorbed. As he said, Kai was never HDS. And I’d trust his opinion. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
But anyway, both HDS (through his several incarnations) and Kai (through absorbing the memories of HDS) have an immense amount of knowledge taken from innumerable human hosts. It’s possible that the knowledge of intersections in the fabric of space is something one of them picked up (Kai, by absorption, or HDS, through millenia of reign).Sorry if I came across pretty strong in my previous missive. No offense intended. I was just curious about what else convinced you that the IW started in the DZ. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
