“Thodin of the Austral-B Pair.”
Austral comes from the Latin “australis” meaning “south.”
Note that the name “Thodin” probably was probably inspired by Þódin of the Norso-Théodish pantheon.

Whovian, Froudian, Lexxian, etc.Didn’t you try turning on the subtitles on your DVD, Slop? [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
Sub titles? Didn’t know the Lexx DVD’s came with those. Check again I will and thanx for the tip. It must be dificult to see, allways in motion are the DVD features.

Didn’t Stan come from Austral B? When Zev and Stan go up in the lift in the special projects area the lift door opens and Stan shouts “Don’t shoot, I’m from Austral B!”. He seems to recognize Thodin’s group, possibly from their clothes, and then Thodin himself.
I still haven’t worked out Stan’s history. Was he a heretic like Thodin? What the hell was this thing in the tooth thing? Did the two homosexual mercenaries hand him over to His Divine Shadow after they captured him? Do you know of any web site which gives a clear and consistent account of Stan’s history?
Isn’t all of Stan’s history pretty much mentioned in his trial in season 2? He was responsible for his home planet’s destruction by His divine Shadow, so “Stan’s Trial” should detail how he came to work for HDS. That’s what springs to my mind, anyway.
The closed-captioning says “Ostral B”
That’s inaccurate. “Austral” is the prefix used in stellar constellations (as in Beta Corona Australis), and I’m sure that’s what the writers meant.

Whovian, Froudian, Lexxian, etc.Well I like Astral B better than Ostral B. Ostral B sounds like a tooth cleaning product. Austral B sounds so much cooler, like the defenders of the universe.

Where did you see this closed captioned, aurora? I suggested Slop check the DVDs, but I checked them myself and there is none on the DVDs. Was this captioning on an aired episode they showed on SciFi or something?
X the video cassets of the Lexx movies have closed captioning. I’m going to go to Blockbuster later to rent “Giga Shadow”. So I’ll see what it is, stupid DVD’s. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well I know some Block Busters don’t carry the videos but…you can buy the videos on Amazon.com for about $7.00 I have the DVD’s but soon as I can I would like to have a set of videos. Hey their collectors items right.

Did not know that Slop. And Slop is talking about the American releases distributed by Paramount. The UK and Canadian ones would be different, but the UK may have it cause they were put out by a different company. I think the Canadian movie releases were by the same people who made the movies on DVD, so those may not have it.
ThanX, Slop.
No problem X

Of course! That makes much more sense than Ostral. Captions are frequently misspelled because captioners usually have to make their own transcripts to work from. And – yes it is the American/Paramount version of the video that I have. At least they’re captioned, even if the DVD’s of Season 2 are not.
