I'm sitting here watching a recording of Ancients Behaving Badly. Quick description: historians and a psychiatrist discuss whether notable leaders of the ancient world were either psychopathic or goal driven killers. It's sensationalized by violent animated snippets of atrocious acts committed by the leaders in question.
Now I have always had an interest in this type of thing. My freshman year of college I took a class called "Masters of Power - 10 Ancient Lives" that studied the lives of several of the figures presented in the TV show. And I loved every minute of it. Such fascinating people with their grand ambitions and their determination to achieve them.
But I guess I'm not the only one in the room that's interested in powerful men, like Genghis Khan, that used violence and fear to rule their worlds. Because Lilah is lying on the floor and fixated on the TV, as if she's taking mental notes on how to conquer and rule. Or maybe she's just comparing her own mix of techniques that she uses to rule her domain...It's eerie.
