is Brian really the king?

After listening to episode 22 I am almost wondering if this isn't a set up for us to find out that Brian is really the king.  Think about it he has the exact same dreams where he wakes up with the cock of steel going.  One of the things that also indicates that for me is that he is able to take out the Saviour which tells me that he is able to do more than Rex ever could.  I think that it is too convenient for Rex to be the king.  Where as we have been given information that really does lean towards Brian being the king.

Okay, we can put this one to bed...

Bryan is a King.  Rex is a King...  It's official.  Next?

I could have sworn that Scott said Mommy would have to do it with a King to make another Mommy...  Maybe a forum pool as to who she gets it on with...  Between the two, I'm sure it would be Rex... but wouldn't it make a cool scene to have Bryan strapped down to the "Bed" while Mommy undulated over to him with that come hither look in her eye and shooting out those "Take Me Now King" pheremonal vibes....

looks like bry bry is gonna take over savior's role

#1 in crack hits, for now anyway


True...

...but if a group of people believe enough, want enough, Need enough, Consensual Reality can be bend to power of group's Faith. If only for a little time. They could have wished for a "King" and their collective wills help increases the chance of it happening. throw in the constant fears of the Savior to reinforce the belief and wallah. Stuff happens.

Interesting...

people are getting to far afield with the "KING"

treed's picture

-the prophecy is a fake, the king is not "real"
what is real is the nocturnals BELIEVING they have a king and follow him blindly
bry bry is the end of mommy and the nocturnals will need to find a new way of life, those that survive,anyway, the end times that are a comin'
http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/


True. To an extent

SynapticJam's picture

The prophecy is indeed fake.  It just happened to coincide with a genetic shift/mutation in the Nocturnals.  The "kings" like rex and bryan are indeed special.  As first born indicated when he had trouble resisting the compulsion to obey Rex.  What it really means in unknown as of this time.  We just have to wait.

SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK) #2 in crack hits (ain't I special)


that's why i said, believing in the prophecy

treed's picture

-can make it seem true  and with the intervention of time and continued mutations, at least one offspring could appear to fullfill the false prophecy

Getting it straight! AGAIN!

LeashedFreak's picture
The King is a nocturnal that is capable of reproducing with mommy and other humans to make normal superstrong nocturnals/humans. I guess these is what is implied when they say that the King will come to free them and let them roam on th world above. Yes, Hillary has "safed" many of "possible Kings", one of these was Gastano, but he turned out to be sterile and unable to reproduce....so..so as far we only know of three possible kings...the First King and now Brian and Rex....and mommy is the one who makes the saviour and the king..the saviour is the good and the king is the evil....that is why saviour kills the nocturnal...this brings about the classic good vrs evil dilema...i think brian will become the saviour and rex the king...... LeashedFreak

Getting it straight!! Again!!!

 So far there has been no mention of a Nocturnals reproducing with Mommy. There has been no mention of Marco"The Machete" being a King. It was stated he was a Ring for a human working top side/above ground for his Nocturnal brothers and sisters.

 I am going to listen to all the episodes again this weekend to x4 this. If I am wrong I will reply back to say so.

 Besides, the FDO can always change the story however he wants before it goes to print.

Marco

Shadygirl's picture
It is clear that Marco must have just been a ringer (able to pass as human) and not a king. Hillary has been sneaking the "kings" out and nobody else knew. The other nocturnals knew Marco and he was working with them. He clearly did not have that special smell.

Good one.

He has to...

...keep his sanity before he can do that. Hell, he really can do anything he wants. Just as long Pookie does not die until Nocturnals: Book II. Or Book 11. What ever works for the FDO*rtm*.

Brian's got a big decision to make

teak's picture
Brian is going to have to decide whether he wants to become the new Savior or take over leadership of the nocturnals.......hmmm

For Bry Bry?

SynapticJam's picture

No choice...  exterminate the nocturnals baby...  Besides, if they kill mommy....  no more nocturnals... 

SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK)


I can't imagine

Shadygirl's picture
-Bry Bry choosing the side of the nocturnals. I agree, for him there really is not a choice.

I'm back-

Talonr1701's picture

Brian is the new savior, Pookie is his partner.  They kill Rex-Then 1st

Born & Tricky Dick, Brian and Pookie have a summit and all goes back to a semblance of normal....With the Nocturnals having a license to kill the mob.....

Do I win? 0

 

Keep up a good tradition- Smoke a pipe....


Seconded

Butiobait's picture
Yeah Talon1701, I'm thinking the same thing, Brian and Savior are brothers, after-all... So Savior (or his 'father') has to be one of Marie's kids.  Savior ain't long for this world, Brian is the only one to defeat him, he's getting in good with the feltchers... er... fletchers.  Yeah, Brian gets the big scary house on California St.

Here's a really disturbing thought...

SynapticJam's picture

What if somehow Savior was a disaffected Nocturnal who ended up in Mommy's love nest, then had to take the groom walk, but actually escaped, and his "seed" begat the kings Rex and Bryan...  ungh.  I know it's full of holes, but imagine what that would mean.  You think Aggie has some nightmares... imagine surviving the "mounting" and then actually getting away...

Now thats a nightmare you would never forget.

Do you really think Pookie will bend that far? His moral compass would have to drastically skew to allow that. And what about Mommy? What happens with her? Pookie and Bryan won't let her continue her steady diet of homeless bums and people of ethnic descent...  

SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK)


truth be known

Mc B's picture
Mc B. Pookie has already had Mommy, they dated in high school he did her lovely!

I think that Brian is the

ClieQueen's picture
I think that Brian is the king, Rex is an unkown, perhaps planted by an enemy to the Nocturnals that we dont' know about yet?  Robin will stnad by Brian, maybe become the next "queen" but in a completely different way then Marie?  The new queen to the new king?

 Nah.., Brian is an above

 

Nah.., Brian is an above average bad ass undoctrinated Nocturnal. I was hoping that Chief Amy Zoe's two girls' father was the 1st Savior. I say this because i was hoping Chief Zoe was the 1st Savior ringer. Then Brian becoming the The 2nd Savior with Pookie becoming HIS ringer.

Who says every savior has a ringer?

SynapticJam's picture

The chief is just a norm trying to protect the public...  And Bryan is a "King"...  there can be more than one, not really official, but we got it from the FDO himself after we plied him with alcohol in H-Town... I'm just curious if Savior was a ringer or a king...  probably a king, as they're the real bad-asses...  can't wait to see Bryan all decked out in Savior weaponry..

SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK)


A king

Shadygirl's picture
I think Savior is also a king. I suspect that Bryan is going to replace Savior, and I think that Rex will meet his end either at Bryan's hands or maybe even Sly's. Especially if Sly thinks it will get him control of the Nocturnals.

Close...

SynapticJam's picture

They're both kings... It's a genetic marker. a new 'evolution' in the species... Marie started popping them out awhile back. Marie is a freak of nature... Can't wait for the ol' father son talk though!

SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK)


The interesting thing here

JP's picture
You're making what could be an important point depending on how the story continues past this book. It's so obvious that often slips past my attention --the genetic link with this entire "family" runs through the mother, not through a common father. Marie is the key. If she's a freak of nature, rather than the product of some other mixed breeding between a more human Nocturnal (e.g. Rex or Brian) and a fully-human female that produces a female child with the zed chromosome...the story has to start and end with Marie. At least the story as we know it. If something happened to her though, it would be interesting to see what follows with the surviving hive. Thoughts?

"Everything takes longer than it does." --Me


the nocturnals as they are would cease to exist

treed's picture

-they might continue to live, but their way of life will change, no more baby noct's, they may reproduce, but without any outside, new dna, their offspring will begin to degenerate fast, and even so, their dna becomes more diluted
http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/


Worse yet

JP's picture
if this is the way it plays out, they'd start to mutate and produce deformities in their offspring. Ugly deformities like when cousins from West Virginia get married--dim-witted kids, and some with snake heads and fur...wait a minute...!

- Prospice tibi--ut Gallia, to quoque in tres partes dividaris.


Don't forget...

...the autopsy of Mark Gastono. the machete Nocturnal. Some of them might not be able to reproduce even if they wanted to. I hope not of the Nocturnal think of in-vitro procedures.

The Irishman from Ohio


Gastono had to be a HUMAN nocturnal

treed's picture

-and can they even reproduce??
http://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/


Of course...

Shadygirl's picture
even if we assume that Gastono was a human nocturnal, and not just a nocturnal that looked human enough to pass, there still has to be a difference between him and the kings. The nocturnals knew him and did not have any strong reaction to him.

Across the board

Shadygirl's picture
Would it be that all of them can't reproduce, or that maybe some can and others can't. All of the other mutations vary. It may be that most couldn't reproduce, but maybe a few could.

Maybe that's the thing about the "kings"...

SynapticJam's picture

Maybe they can reproduce, and that's why first born wants to be rid of them.  Of course, what would the progeny be?  And if they've been doing this for awhile, wouldn't there already be a bunch of "princes" running around? 

SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK)


Good Point

Shadygirl's picture
Even if it is just the kings that could reproduce, then there would probably be a bunch of offspring already. You would think that this would lead to discovery.

Interesting Points All....

SynapticJam's picture

There are a lot of unanswered questions here.  The hives complete and total reliance on Marie appears to be inviolate.  I'm going to have to listen to 1st born's thoughts on the existence of the "kings" again.  They were created as a legend to give the nocturnals hope.  But then where did they start coming from... and with genetic markers to lead/rule.  Rather interesting, really.  Can't wait to see how it all pans out...

could it be

treed's picture

-the HUMAN nocturnals with Savior like abilities "Smell" different. hence the "King" fullfillment issue. there was after all that "Earlier" KING fiasco that hillary wasn't around yet to witness. AH, life in the hive. happy happy joy joy.
anyways, ya'll know my position on the KING/SAVIOR issue.
