Talk:Sevax
From MediaWiki
Going on the assumption that the Quintesson who hires then fires the torturer is Sevax... Sevax is not very smart. He accuses the torturer of "feeble-minded stupidity", then immediately finds him innocent of it. The torturer was sentenced to death anyway, which certainly provided a good distraction from Sevax's self-contradiction.
- Uh.. isn't "innocence and then death penalty" how the Quintessons operate anyway? Is this really notable, or am I missing something? --Monzo 20:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. Innocence = guilty is a quirk of the quint legal system. Until we see what they do when they find someone guilty... we shouldn't bend over backwards to explain it. -Derik 21:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Quintesson law is... not quite as screwed up as it seems just from looking at the movie. FFoD proves that they do have a point in conducting their trials, wen Ultra Magnus and Kup are found gulity in FFoD, because they're Transformers, and hence responsible (vicariously) for the theft of Cybertron from the Quintessons, and so they're condemned to death. Kranix and Arblus, on the other hand, are not, hence, they are found innocent - but the Quints are sick bastards and kill you anyway. The anomoly, of course, is Hot Rod and Kup being found innocent in the movie... that's what makes it seem like it's just a bit of silly sci-fi wacky-alien word-reversal. "Ho ho, those silly Quints, they think innocent means you die!" The belief that "innocence = death penalty" is just how Quintessons work would logically be what prompted the scene in BBo2k6, but there's more to it than that. - Chris McFeely 22:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
