|comment= Ideon, in turn, gets a big chunk of its metaphysics from - believe it or not - the 1956 scifi classic ''Forbidden Planet''. The movie is of course one of those ur-influence texts whose DNA can be found in basically every single work of pop science fiction that came after it, but in Ideon's case the things borrowed are remarkably specific. This goes even for the name of the hivesoul: turns out IDE isn't just a cheeky anagram for DIE.}} | |comment= Ideon, in turn, gets a big chunk of its metaphysics from - believe it or not - the 1956 scifi classic ''Forbidden Planet''.

|comment=}} | |comment= As a super-quick primer for those who don't know, ''Forbidden Planet'' is often described as "Star Trek without Spock" and that's actually a fairly accurate description - its influence on no less than ''Star Trek'' is particularly clearly visible in the pilot episode, not seen publicly until 1988. The power of Id that drives the Krell machines and the *cough*idmonster*cough* has a direct parallel in the Ide that powers the Ideon and drives it to perform impossible feats - or for that matter, the *cough*maternal love*cough* of the Evas in Evangelion.}} | ||
