"This part of the Submachine series..."
date: October 28, 2009
is my favorite, right next to Part 4: The Lab.
S6 really gives the viewer a three dimensional look into just how vast and highly advanced the submachines are, and the sophistication of the technology that it contains. Somehow, the civilization who built this has managed to warp the very fabric of spacetime, creating time portals and time dilation devices.
What has happened to this civilization? Perhaps they were destroyed by their own creations. Just like the Krell, (from Forbidden Planets). Their technology was so advanced that they were able to manipulate the mind and make illusion into reality. Unfortunately, the machinery also corporealized the Krells' darkest inner instincts. When the crew of the United Planets space cruiser C-57D landed on Altair V, they came face to face with the same id-monster that destroyed the Krell. Perhaps that is what also happened to the previous explorers of the submachines, whose only evidence of their existence were the notes they left on it's walls.
