As my title stated, I’ve never heard that name affixed to Lyekka’s people in any episode. Is that from an interview or what? Am I missing something? Somebady heeeelp! Valdron? Flamegrape? Aleck? Anyone?
“Let’s go”- Lt. General Romeo Dallaire
Trin is the naem DT gave to the Lyekka civilization a few weeks ago. In “End of the Universe” Lyekka says “there aren’t many dreams around”. But since Louise Wischermann gives Lyekka an accent so impossible to understand, that it makes the French look like English Profs; he misunderstood the statement as “there aren’t many trins around” Where he thought trin refered to the Lyekka species. But sine Trin is easier to type, say and spell then Lyekka, many people (myself included) have just adopted that name.
I was wondering where DT got that name.
But I think her accent is so cute!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
I like-a Lyekka!

You honestly have to wonder where DT gets any of his Lexx “terminology”?

Actually, I wrote it down in my [i]Lexx[/i] notebook when I saw [i]The end of the Universe[/i] on its original Sci-Fi run, and have used it periodically on this board.
I thought Lyekka said “The Universe used to be full of Trins.” She then goes into her telepathic abilities, and I assumed she was saying that her people, abundant before Mantrid, used to listen to the thoughts of all sentient life, and that collective knowledge has given her the ability to pinpoint the location of a specific individual (Mantrid in this case) telepathically.
But on a recent chat I was told that she said the Universe was full of [i]dreams[/i]. I looked at a transcript of the episode and she did say “dreams.”
Lyekka’s people (in the Dark Zone at least) seem to have their own language and nomenclature, but the name they call themselves has yet to be revealed. Nobody else on the show seems to have come up with a name to call them (though Kai says one or more of the people whose memories he has were familiar with them). I had the archaic character call them “Dreamweaver Plants” in my fan-fiction “The New Order,” but that doesn’t come from real [i]Lexx[/i]. The name of Lyekka’s people is not clear.
But Lyekka’s accent is cute. Of that there can be no doubt. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Can I use it in the book?
