Lensman: Difference between revisions

Line 174:

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] - Worsel, to avenge the millennia his people suffered at the hands of the Overlords of Delgon (not to mention his own suffering), vows to obliterate the entire species from the universe. Pretty much does. Considers the fact that he has to torture some of them for information to be a bonus.

** This is a species that {{spoiler|tortures its victims slowly to death in order to enjoy their agonies and then consume their life-force as they die. Little wonder that the Velantians' allies saw fit to help them destroy it.}}

* [[Sarcastic Confession]] - There is a brief sequence in "Children of the Lens" where Kinnison is undercover as a drug runner. During the course of some business negotations, this dialogue occurs:

{{Quote|'''Harkelroy''': Thionite - two kilograms! Where and how did you ''get'' it?

'''Kinnison (aka "Bradlow Thyron")''': I asked the Lensman on Trenco to make it for me, special, and he did.}}

* [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]] - Boskone is [[The Empire]] pitted against the democratic and free [[The Alliance|Civilization]]. Consider the stories were written in the run-up to, and during, WWII and I think you can see who they stand for.

** It's probably not coincidence that the title of the Eddorian leader is also one of the titles of the German Kaiser ("All-Highest").
