So it's a toaster?


In all seriousness, that was relatively interesting. A bit wordy but I get what he's saying about man's struggle for greatness and the power of symbols. Reminds me a bit of Star Wars and the Death Star and all that.

I love that SW analogy.

But unlike the Death Star, the Orb never actually did anything, it was just truly a symbol or a rouse? If I am deciphering Doc-anesse correctly, it just represented the collective genius ans collaboration of history's masterminds?

I think it actually did something, or would have if somebody had activated it. It's still symbolic and all of those things you said but had some actual purpose at some time.

As for my SW analogy, I wasn't sure how geeky to go. My original thought was to compare it to the Tarkin Doctrine but I don't know how many people would get that right away.

I would have gotten it right off, your preaching to the choir here bud.

This whole discussion is just resurrecting my disappointment in the fate of Orb. That story had so much going for it, only to have it pulled out from under us. I know it goes along with the theme of failure in the show, but I would have rather they never mentioned Orb again rather than end it the way they did.
