Ernest, Thanks for posting. This is an aspect of Uber-Morlock that I had not thought of. It was puzzleing as to why UM would allow Alexander to have his Time Machine back. Um knows that Alaexander can't change the past but nothing against changing the future. Mary and I did get the feeling that Um was very tired of his existance and longed for a better more civilized future, he did after all eat with a napkin and had a finger bowl, also his food appeared to be an Eloi shis-ka-bob not raw meat. UM says himself "we all have our time machines. I think Alexanders pocket watch represented a memory of a more sophisticated human existance that the Um wished he could have. Not that John Logan may have thought of this when he wrote the story. |
