|thoughts = }} | |thoughts = Another story dealing with thinly veiled Abrahamic religion. Obvious parallels to the story of Abraham and Isaac, but they don't want it to match 100% so instead it's Anteus and Ikus. I find it kind of hard to see how the talk of "one true god" can really fit in, on a show where multiple gods have made themselves present this season alone. Unless in this franchise's case, it's meant to express: "Those other gods suck ass, I'm the real boss." | ||
Young [[Karl Urban]] is the biggest thing differentiating it from the Biblical story, in that he is manipulating events to try and get his younger brother sacrificed so he can be the next leader. His "god machine" setup seems kind of lame, though. He's drugging people which helps, sure, but he's just banging on metal to fake thunder and speaking through a cone to amplify his voice... this would really only be effective when a person is in a very specific area.}} | |||
