Quotes aus der englischen Wikipedia:
Zitat: |
The Salaxalan engineer, having thus failed to complete a task during his life, is forced to wander the Earth as a ghost. He watches as terrestrial life develops. In the early 1800s, the ghost learns of a time machine owned by Professor Reg Chronotis at St Cedd's, but is unable to use it. The ghost finds he can influence humans, and possesses Samuel Taylor Coleridge to write a second verse to his "Kubla Khan" poem that includes instructions on fixing the damaged lander, as well as additional references in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". The ghost then continues to look for a way to influence Reg to use the time machine to "correct" the past. |
Zitat: | As the three see the possessed Michael off, Richard learns from Susan about Michael's murder of Ross, and the three realize that the lander's exploding is what creates life on earth. Using Reg's time machine, they travel to visit Coleridge, so that Dirk ("the man from Porlock") can distract him and thus alter "Kubla Khan" and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" so that the Salaxalan ghost will not have the proper instructions to stop the lander's explosion. They then destroy the Salaxalan mothership. |
1. Wenn sie das Raumschiff zerstören können (was ich übrigens irgendwie überlesen haben muss (edit: doch nicth überlesen), warum müssen sie dann erst die Anleitung zur Reperatur des Landers zerstören?
2. Was bringt es ihnen generell, die Anleitung zur Reperatur des Landers in Colridges Gedicht zu "zerstören"? Immerhin war es ja der Geist des Salaxianers selber, der die Anleitung Colridge eingegeben hat - und dieser Geist wird sa ja wohl nach 4 Milliarden Jahren nicht plötzlich vergessen haben und deswegen seine schriftliche Version brauchen?
Was ändert sich dadurch, dass die Anleitung nicht mehr da ist?
