Maybe the reason there are so many humans all over the universes in Lexx is because we created as food. It goes back to what Kai said in “The Rock” about limited models of humans on different planets. Maybe like different types of food. Talk about your fooding killing you. Humans did just that to the insects.

That could be true, but then it would suggest that the universe and mankind was made to serve insects (breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!), I’m not sure that humans were the dietary choice of insects, I think Lexx and the Giga shadow was fed human parts because Lexx needed to stay on the cluster whilst growing and the gigashadow needed to remain hidden, otherwise they would have found a nice organic planetoid to scoff.
I think the ‘models’ of humans was part of a grand design that goes beyond the insects, but having said that nature may have put the insects at the top of the food chain with us being their source of food, but then the insects would have been starving, as they never came to earth earlier, but were probably around as long or longer than mankind.
I don’t know whether someone is responsible for the continuing introduction of the same models, they could just have the same ability as Prince or Duke, but are inferior in the way that they cannot change appearance or remember what came before.
It would seem that Prince and Duke were abnormalities in humankind, and were given this gift, and were just lucky to be the ones that did.

Okay, onto the subject, second, Prince and Duke aren’t a part of humankind, remember? They’re beings, possibly metaphysical beings, from the planet Fire. And, third, I think the reason there are so many humans all over the universe, is the same reason there are humans all over this planet; we shag like crazy, use up all our resources and then move on and try to live elsewhere. I guess humanity just wasn’t confined to Earth in the Lexx universe(s), or to one universe, for that matter. Humans had to have been more than mere bug food or else the Brunnen-G wouldn’t have been able to have stomped them so badly the first time around. (stomped ’em real good! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] oooo, instant graemlins! hmmmm, can ya tell I’ve been gone long?)

Hmmm, Blackcloud, interesting, hmmm,fascinating…ok enough of that.
I’m not so sure that Duke and Prince were not human, I don’t remember anything to suggest that they were not of the same material than the rest of the populace of Fire and Water.
Ok, they have the ability to do what is beyond human capability, but Prince didn’t seem sure as to where it came from, and he seemed to suffer death and injury in the same manner as a human.
I still feel that by random chance they were the power to reincarnate, Prince could reincarnate as who he choosed and Duke could only do it as himself.
Squishy7th September 2001 at 1:26 pm #48570AnonymousGuestNow, I never said that Prince and Duke were of a different material than the rest of the inhabitants of Fire and Water, though they obviously were of a higher order than the rest of Fire and Water. I implied that [b]none[/b] of the inhabitants of Fire or Water were human, as we are human, since to the best of my knowledge, I was born an infant and grew up, unlike the inhabitants of Fire and Water who just “wake up” full grown. (“What are children?” Bunny in Boomtown) Not a particularly human trait, would you say? And, what Prince was doing after getting creamed would really be closer to transmigration as opposed to reincarnation, which carries with it more set spiritual/moral laws/rules of progression/regression not “Oh, I think I’ll be a redhead this time!” [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Besides, naming an episode “Heaven and Hell” was a major tip-off of sorts, wasn’t it and kinda precluded humanity, didn’t it? (“You have much to learn my friend, much to learn.” Duke to Fifi who also thought he was still human [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img])
But, no, even Prince didn’t seem to fully understand because he didn’t set things in motion. He did know that, just like he knew it would take something outside of Fire and Water to take things out of their set motion.
