[edit] Confused About Her (last season spoilers)
I didn't see all the episodes of the last season, but I saw the one where Dylan finds that electronic device (kinda like a portable TV) and says "I'm on Tarn Vedra" Was that the real Tarn Vedra, or is Seefra a copy of one, where were the Vedrans?
And, I don't understand this Avatar of a Star thing either. A star is neither a sentient machine nor a god, which are the two contexts I've heard avatar used in, a representation, as (Rommie is of the Andromeda ship or an avatar of a god like in AD&D games, or hmm, the avatar in the Ultima series)
A star is a ball of plasma, a gas, in which the gravity causes nuclear fusion to occur in the center. It doesn't have a brain or a consciousness of any kind. Maybe they mean that it isn't a star in the normal sense.
- The obvious guess would be that in the Andromeda Universe stars are somehow sentient and sometimes create human Avatars to interact with other beings. Somewhat reminescent of both Astrology and the Gaia myth, come to think of it. Luis Dantas 17:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Also, I would have preferred they stay literal with Andromeda, instead of going into this metaphorical/metaphysical stuff such as this statement:
| “ | In Robert Hewitt Wolfe's original plan for Andromeda, Trance's people (still solar avatars) would have been the Lightbringers, or Lucifers, who fought a war in "Heaven" (the original state of the universe as a small perfect space with all matter and energy pressed tightly together) resulting in the Big Bang. The Spirit of the Abyss would have been an embodiment of Love (the twisted stalker kind of Love, or gravity) trying to crush the universe back in on itself. | „ |
Sounds a lot like the Shinto idea of some of them being living concepts, called Kami, which are not only concepts things but which can physically manifest. Sheesh, please stay on the path of logic. The snare 02:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Myth is not logical, not in that sense. I agree that these concepts resemble those of Shinto. Luis Dantas 17:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
