Thodin and the key

[Anonymous]

We do know here Thodin got his copy of the key:

quote[quote]You remember Ericko? The only reason million, [b]millions[/b] died for that overheated chunk or [b]rock[/b] was that two of the Erickans were biocode specialists from the Cluster. They died so that I could be here today. They died so that I could have the Key to the Lexx[/quote]

There are a number of reasons why HDS didn’t pass on his key when he died: He maybe just died to quickly, the key passes at the point of death, if you die instantly there’s no time. Or perhaps his body was considered already dead; his brain had been removed and he was under the direct control of the insect essence so perhaps his body wasn’t even living at that point?
