: Very nice summary, Steve. The only clarifications I'd like to make are 1)
: S'bhuth from the future didn't so much "come back" with Hathor -
: parts of him are still on the K'lia in the future, buried in it's
: databanks, and Hathor is still tied via a transtemporal link (an
: "ansible") to that future K'lia. When Leela manages to decypher
: Hathor's access to that future K'lia, she enters it's databanks and there
: finds the bits of S'bhuth that Hathor had been repressing. And 2)
: Durandal-Thoth was not met in the future, but outside of time entirely.
: Although I'm not really clear how either of these contradicts the Infinity
: final screen. Can you clarify?
The general interpretation is that Durandal-Thoth did not escape the closure, but I guess that doesn't preclude him leaving and then returning to the universe.
: Also, she/they didn't meet you in the future they visited because it was the
: "nonexistant" W'rkncacnter-riddled future of this chapter's
: failure timeline, and if you hadn't left that timeline to make another,
: you would be dead anyway, so one way or another Leela wouldn't have found
: you. Although, I do have an unused terminal still in "Mad
: World"... maybe I should have Leela pop by and say a little Hello you
: screwed up get back to work you lazy killing machine - in a more polite,
: ladylike manner of course.
I like that idea - it would provide some badly needed continuity.
