But if you believe Fire is Hell, then Hogtown HAS to be a place of punishment. If it is a place of eternal punishment, then their punishment is never being able to achieve their goal, as Headgehog and Flamegrape have stated. If it IS Purgatory, then the punishment would end once they come to realize the futility of what they’re doing and change their behavior.
I wasn’t doubting that it was punishment, I was just saying that I don’t understand how it would be.

A lot of things in season three don’t seem consistent with Water and Fire being Heaven and Hell. This I attribute to attempts to confuse viewers and poor writing.

Hardly perfect and happy when, again, there’s a warning gong on Garden and Prince’s balloons attack the city. We saw Lyekka die on camera, no doubt the gardeners were killed, too.
That’s because if Garden City wasn’t invaded by dangerous elements (Lyekka, Prince) then the episodes taking place in it would be (even more) boring. Utopian fiction is boring unless there’s a drop of evil in the plot to generate conflict. More poor writing from season three. [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Guess my “naughty nuns” joke did go over very well, but I was referring to the fact that the only sex on Garden is plant sex. The gardeners seem a bit naïve about human sexual intercourse and oblivious to the phallic and labial symbols all over the place.
Not the most unfunny joke on the board. I, after all, am a member. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] But seriously, folks, Garden City seems like (near-)perfect bliss, and I can’t conceive of it to be any sort of punishment. I, for one, would love to stay in there (if only for a little while). Let’s face it, Garden City is the best place we’ve ever seen in [i]Lexx[/i]. The lack of sex just seems logical. It is, after all, Heaven. I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say there are phallic symbols in the Garden (and what does “labial symbol” mean? I’m unfamiliar with your lingo). Whatever you’re talking about, I seem to be oblivious to it as well. [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]
