Squishy, if season 3 were in a later cycle of time than seasons 1 and 2, wouldn’t this imply that the souls on Fire and Water would be experiencing the afterlife before subsequently being born at a later time in this new cycle of time?
No, nobody in season 1 & 2 would be as they were in season 3 (at the beginning of S3, the reincarnation process would have stopped), people like Gigerota and Mantrid are the first incarnation on fire and water, several hundreds or thousands of reincarnations later they arrive at being the true Mantrid and Giggy. In essence those characters are leading their first lives.
Like Giggy the Pope was only just beginning to have thoughts about cannabilism, after successive reincarnations that notion becomes stronger, until we arrive at Giggy’s time where she is a full blown cannibal.
Most of this ties in with Chinese beliefs of reincarnation, but taken to the extreme, where not only does the spirit remain faithful to it’s previous incarnation…but so does the body.
If Lexx does end this way (with a cycle) then i think it would add to the myticism of Lexx.
I think it’s a more appealing end than just playing it out by saying the Earth is destroyed and the Lexx dies, by giving the story a cycle, it gives purpose to events that has happened before.
Most of all this theory is not about time travel, as far as the Lexx crew is concerned time is still linear, but it is a line that forms a circle.
If that line is broken, then time would be reset (so to speak) and would have to start again…and that only exist in the realms of Sci-fi.
Time travel may be a possibility, but it’s likely it would have nothing to do with our perception of time as it now stands, more likely affecting some physical change to the nature of the universe itself might result in some unexpected side effects, but it’s doubtful science could do that, we may have to face facts that time travel is not possible, if it were it would be a chance event, but we don’t know enough to even theorize on going into the past or the future.
