With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Mr Zoat]

No doubt with lots of the Vorlon equivalent of swearing from the crews aboard.

As I understand it, vorlon ships generally have a crew of one. And it's really more 'you're seeing this too, right?'.

Well, it's less 'he's an atheist' and more 'he's not from this universe, so he doesn't have the Vorlon genetic tampering that makes all the local Younger Races' members see Vorlons as angels'.

Yes, this is it.

The Road Home is the recent animated movie that functionally ends B5's original story and established a new timeline (so far, sans the Shadow War) for the reboot JMS was working on to take place in.
(The reboot that now, again, appears to be in development hell...)

I watched Legends of the Rangers. Maybe it's best just to let the original stand on its own.

Maltusians being misinterpreted for Lorien's species

Click to shrink...

They may actually be the same species. Just different universes.
We'll know for sure when Lorien meets Paul and recognizes the ring's technological principles.

the second one, I am sure, won't result in Ophidian eating someone at some point.

Vorlons are squids.

Shadows are crabs.

Both are mighty tasty when fried and dipped in butter.

Honestly, 'tasted better when fried and dipped in butter' covers 90%+ of edible food, and a staggering amount of inedible things too. Reminds me of Pratchett (I think? It may have been Douglas Adams) on escargot - 'if you cook them in garlic and butter, they taste of garlic and butter.'

 

[Darko]

So, anyway, there are two main parts of this chapter: Maltusians being misinterpreted for Lorien's species by Vorlons

Click to shrink...

Huh, did not think of that.

But yeah, I can see it work.

They may know that Lorien doesn't exactly approve of their game, so he apparently sent someone to throw a wrench into the whole thing.

And this is why its dangerous to ignore people, you can be proven wrong and continue on as if you were right with everyone else seeing otherwise

Click to shrink...

They're ignoring you.

At this point any statement you make is automatically suspected to be meaningless nonsense, because 99% of the time it is meaningless nonsense.

The 1% where you're right is very, very, very rare, but because you usually post meaningless things, that 1% will forever be questioned about it's validity.

Pratchett. It was in Snuff. The next line was something like 'and not escargot, which would have been disastrous'.

I remember Hinon mentioning that the Psions used to be their pets before bring uplifted.

Now I'm wondering if the Speakers considered the Vorlons and Shadows a snack.

That was a impressive trophy for the soul hunter, getting hold of a Drakh

Click to shrink...

Fun fact.

The Drakh and Soul Hunters can be considered to be peers in a way.

The show explained that the Drakh were Shadow servants, but it never really gave an answer about the Soul Hunters.

However, in other materials, like the books and RPGs, it is explained that the Soul Hunters were created by the Mindriders, a First One race.

The Mindriders were a race that became non-corporeal before they reached the stars, and as the name suggests, they spent their time entering the minds of corporeal being in order to experience what they experience.

One day they noticed that members of the Speaker race began to die because they were not born with immortality.

In order to repay them for being their guides, the Mindriders created the Soul Hunters so that the souls of the Speakers who died could be preserved.

So yeah, the Drakh and Soul Hunters are both First One servitor races.
