Observation: for a monk, Alvis is pretty buff...


As for D'avin and the mossipedes, I wonder if he's the "one that came back" from fighting the devil and that's why those things are afraid of him and want to get away. Also might explain why he could access(?) that memory from Arkin.

reply

Well this episode we learn Alvis was a miner before he became a monk. That's hard work and probably the reason he is buff.

I think it has to do with the military experiments done on D'avin. He and Johnny are from outside the Quad. I think their home government wanted a way to counteract the Level Six's should they ever go to war with them.

Oh yeah, forgot about Alvis and the miners, probably because it was mentioned so briefly.

But where else could the Jacobys be from? I got the impression that the Quad was created because life on Earth was no longer possible and so to keep humanity alive they went to these four planets. Even these it took them awhile to make livable so who would spend resources on yet another planet?

It might have something to do with the military experiments D'avin went thru but so did a lot of other people. I think something else happened during those years after he got out of the military and Johnny didn't know where he was.

reply

In season one D'avin said he came to the Quad in search of the doctor who experimented on him. Therefor he had to be living outside of it prior to that.

Johnny also mentioned that he couldn't go back to their homeworld due to their father's debts he assumed responsibility for.


They haven't made any mention on the conditions of Earth. We don't know how far away it is or why some people left.

I think you are right about D'avin being the 'one who came back'. That would explain why his body rejected the 'green ooze' that seems to be derived from the mossipedes and why the doctors were so flabbergasted that it happened. Apparently, his body's reaction to the ooze was something they had never seen before.

reply

That would be really cool.

As we have learned, these are not what we would think of as monks. They remind me more of the warrior monks Kevin Kline went on about in A Fish Called Wanda. Twelve of these monks went off to kill the devil, and one was still around a hundred+ years later.

These are not your douse-myself-in-gasoline-to-protest-war monks. Scarbacks are more let-me-kill-you-in-the-name-of-peace monks.

reply

Yep, now we know. When that episode first aired there was almost no background info on the Scarbacks. And I guess I was wrong about D'Avin being the one that came back....

EDIT: Wait, that poor guy that was still alive and caged behind the wall, was he the 11th or the 12th? Cuz if he was caged, then he couldn't have come back and told the story, and nobody would've known what happened to them...

I was wondering about that. It seems like there were actually 13 monks.
- 10 bodies that they found in the lab;
- 1 living monk in the lab;
- 1 body that they found in the mine with the mossipedes;
- 1 monk who came back to tell the story.

Unless I misheard and only 9 bodies were found.

I would have to see it again, but I _THINK_ the monk who came back was the one in the mine who carved out his reply on a piece of skin. 12 total. Maybe after he told people, he went into the mine and stayed until death.

reply

Oh ok. Thanks!
