Riddle of the Sphinx S.3-E.4

[EvoL]

Actually, yulerule, that IS precisely what she did. The look on her face when she first discovered the hieroglyph of VK (The latter wasn't visible to us at the time)!! So she took it away, since to her it was ALL that was in there and then kaBOOMed what was in her eyes an empty room.

[Aenrhien]

I think she took the tech too, just because Holiday mentioned that Cesar had been working on a prototype of one of them. Even if he'd finished what he was working on by then, she'd probably still take it to have it examined.

[wh1tetigerdemoness]

Yeah, she wouldn't leave that place unlooted. She's messing with their miiiiinds.

It's the "DOUGHNUT? WHAT DOUGHNUT. I ALREADY ATE IT." Ploy.

[datdude]

So im assuming we were all looking at the screen and saying "its van klies " every five seconds? I mean its almost evil overlord level of stuoid to not guess "ummm rex got kicked forward in time and we just dug up nanites from the iron age . . . . yea vk all the way. "

I know i know put down your pitchforks i know its a kids show they are just normally better then this with none filler eps.

[balmung6]

Just watched it, and AWESOME! But I wonder - how did VK even live long enough to pass on any knowledge? And how the hell did he give the pharoah dude nanites? I get that he can make EVOs, but the Omega Nanite is the only thing that can create new Nanites, and there aren't any back then, so technically, he should have expired like a day after getting there from lack of nanites.

Remember the episode where they teamed up to fight ZAG R.S.? "They want to rid the world of Nanites, and I live on Nanites....what Providence calls a "cure", I call "death"."

[Solora Goldsun]

Yeah...that was a problem for me too...

[Violette]

If VK was sent that far back, he would not have been able to create EVOs. There were no nanites in anything back then.

Although, he may have figured out how to make them. He was a scientist after all.

[macgaulyver]

It seemed that he created those two machines Holiday was freaking over, and those mummies (not to mention Garan-Set) had yellow nanites. VK must have created them using his 'modern' knowledge, in the past.

...Or Breach just portaled the ancient mummies to the present....what was Rex's 'Breach shiver' about, anyway?

[wh1tetigerdemoness]

Ever since VK absorbed Rex's nanites...does he still need to eat them on a regular basis? He WAS cured for a while. The whole still needing nanites to survive thing could be a motion towards the face that he's MADE of nanites, though once again he WAS cured for a time.

Mummy dude kept calling VK "Father", and knows english very well. I'd wager he's VK's blood kid.

And if so, we haven't seen the last of him.

If we HAVE seen the last of him, he was a construct like Alpha and refers to VK as daddy 'cause he was his creator. THOUGH HE DID HAVE EVOIFICATION POWERS, LIKE VK. O_< Ugh...so many possibilities.

[Little]

I was kinda "Hrm" On this whole episode. He wasn't calling him just "Father" He was calling him "The Father." I wonder if that could mean biological or they saw him as sort of a deity.

And I for one LOVE Black Knights b*tch moment. She was like: "This? Oh you want this?" *KABOOM* "To late." -smirk-

Loves it. Absolutely.

And apparently unlike everyone else- the whole "I have to tell you something.." Felt kind of bleh to me. I mean....they've gotten out of worse situations. T_T I mean come on Six has had a NDE twice now. Hm..maybe THAT's why he stuck the swords in the electromajiggy EVO. He forgot about doing something stupidly similiar before. But I don't know. I felt the timing was off.

The noodle thing made me want to headdesk.

[Aenrhien]

I'm with you Little, I thought the whole "oh @%$# we're gonna die, must confess love" thing was kinda stupid really. Seeing him fumble for something to say when they survived was funny, but the situation itself had me just going "...what..." the whole time, then the ending made it sorta worse. I found the noodle thing hilarious though.


But BK's moment of @%$#&ery was delicious. ^^;

[Solora Goldsun]

I call the noodle moment Sexy Spaghetti Six. Dontcha love alliteration? ^_^

[balmung6]

They so should have, after the ending bit with the VK slab, cut to the mummy bit from Courage the Cowardly Dog show - "Retuuurn the slaaaab.....or suffer my cuuuurse." xD

[Solora Goldsun]

XD That would have been amazing!!!!!!!

[Deleted]

Ho, that was so cool! Was I the only one who was shrieking for joy and frightening her pets when Rex whipped out his BFG and BFS at the same time and jumped at that gigantic twoheaded cat thing? And then when Six missed out on a love declaration? And then the reveal at the end that should have been obvious the moment they showed us the nanite painting on the wall? I swear, it took me like ten whole minutes for it to hit me that Van Kleiss got time-traveled back in Lions and Lambs. This episode was so cool! I read "Riddle of the Sphinx" and heard "ancient Egypt gimmick filler episode" but it was actually relevant to the plot! Man, that was awesome!

I had to take a break from watching shows to study for first quarter finals, so it took me a little while to get back in the habit of checking this stuff, and man am I glad I did! Bring on the next episode, MoA!
