I think the succubus is just an embodiment of rage more than it is evil. The priests wanted power and it cost the baby it's life, creating the Nu Gui, which in turn seems to be trying to strip the priests and all their people and descendants of every last bit of power that they have.davids4250 wrote:Also, I think the succubus may be more evil that the Lanthian priests.

Or rather, HAS amazing pupils... LOLDave wrote:(2) or (3) Perhaps... there does seem to be reason to accept (per Atsali's comment last week) that Kath is indeed a sixfold chimera, so (1) would not apply.DilyV wrote: Lily says, "What happened to the other babies..." That could take on several meanings...
1. The five other 'fourth' babies of which Kath was 'one of six'
2. All the babies of pregnant mothers that were stored.
3. All other newborns, infants and children that were stored in separate crystals as they flooded through the stargates.
Sounds like the mothers were sent to the desert and the babies were set adrift at sea... talk about the murder of innocents...
I'm actually going to guess that it's (4)... each of those six mothers was bearing triplets (not counting the quad-child that was misrouted into a separate crystal and contributed to Kath's creation)... there was no indication that Lily was pregnant when she was dumped in the desert... so I suspect that the three triplets being carried by each of the six women (18 in all) were sent on a short sea-voyage into oblivion, at the same time that the mothers were routed out into the desert.
"Murder of innocents" is a very good point... it brings out the horrible symmetry in this situation. The evil being created by the murder of an innocent, itself decides to carry out a mass murder of innocents.
I've gotta say, those Lanthian priests have even more to answer for than I had thought. I'd figured they deserved a particular place of attention in Hell... and now I'm not sure quite what an appropriate form of justice for them would be. They directly tortured and murdered the GGs, their actions resulted in the death of an innocent child... and the after-effects of their actions resulted in the destruction of their whole civilization twice!. Between what the Chimera did, and what the Nu Gui did, essentially all of the priests' people died as a consequence of their actions.
Calling it "karma" seems like an incredible understatement.
Re Atsali's display of eye-glyphs... we've seen that she's an excellent student and a quick study, and now we've seen she's an amazing pupil as well!

From the wording of her voice balloons in her first couple of appearances, I've been hearing a 'Jolly Good English' accent....
Ooh. I like that idea.shadowinthelight wrote:I understood Atsali as saying for each the six women with four babies, one through three were dumped in the ocean and number four went into the crystal.
Just lucky I guess.DilyV wrote:That's just sheer Genius... and this is only your 8th post!!!
Either that or I just don't post enough spam to up my post count. 
Actually, now that i think about it, i hear Catharine Tate (at least for the "computer Atsali"), in her Donna Doctor hyper-fast shtick from the end of her run on Doctor Who - the bit i was referring to about burning up, the other day.scantrontb wrote:totally off topic, but does anyone ELSE hear Atsali's voice as it was done by Majel Barrett, as the voice of the Enterprise Computer in Classic Star Trek?

"She's" is actually a valid contraction for "she has" in some American colloquial dialects - it's less common than using it for "she is" but you do still hear it used that way occasionally. I think it's more common in old New England styles than elsewhere but I could be wrong about that. "She's got great hair" or "He's a new job" and so forth.KnightDelight wrote:Another thing.
