A (late but it's my fault) Merry Christmas from Lee Gibbons and Tin Moon

Science Fiction Timeline
Ward Shelley's timeline of the history of science fiction to 2009 is wondrous. You may not agree with some of it but if you don't then produce your own. I bet you won't!
What does a Krell look like?
So what do we know about the Krell? Nothing much apart their manifestations in a force field, their system of ramps and steps for moving between floor levels and the famous Krell door!
So if form and function has some relation then the species was large but squat and maybe had a pointy head. So Dougal set us the task to envision a Krell and here we show the results so far.
Dougal thought something like this would be likely
Andy gave us a couple of visions
Peter showed his usual unique vision
From this we can perhaps assume that the Krell were blue, quadripedal and handed and not very happy. I can only assume that with four wooden peglegs the most common word to issue form that mouth was 'YAR'. Aardman eat your heart out!
Finally for this post we have a different story of a race from the galactic rim that had the unhappy corporeal properties of being delicious to every other species they met. They knew themselves solely as 'the People' but in the local patois of their spiral arm their gastronomic oppressors knew them as the Krell. Krell, depending on the species could mean 'tasty' or 'delicious' or 'those that we don't talk about but nom, nom, nom'. Aeons, of war, cycles of freedom and farmed enslavement made them take up the name of their enemies but reversed to show their contempt, they were the Llerk. The majority of the Llerk decided that the solution to their perennial problem was to evolve away from 'tastyness' through the use of mutagenic drugs and time dilation. This faction were known as the Light Llerk while the more paranoid and xenophobic group decided their only recourse was to fight and commit counter-genocide. They were known as the Dark Llerks and we have a particularly fine example below
Sadly during our meeting the fate of the Llerks was revisited on this excample and by the time latecomers arrived there was little left
