Why doesn't Millie age backwards?

Postby Segovia » Tue Nov 04, 2008 12:29 pm

Hello again everyone. This question I have had on my mind for some quite time now. It all started when my brother asked me if Captin Locke is Millie's Dad and if Captin Locke ages backwards, then shouldn't Millie age backwards? I came up with a possible theory that I'm not sure is correct. I theorized that the property of aging backwards is eviornmental rather than heriditary. It sounds reasonable but does anyone have any other theories? ( I know that I over think things too much)

I think it's cause she doesn't live in the world behind the sofa...

Maybe Millie had a 50% chance of inheriting her father's way and just happened to get her mother's. Or maybe it's one of those traits that girls can inherits only from their mothers.

Of course, we've never established how reverse agers come into being. Are they born the same way as we are, only with geezer bodies? That sounds all too painful and dangerous. Do they hatch from rapidly grown eggs like the Orkans from "Mork and Mindy"? Do they come forth by some cause that has nothing to do with, as the current Locke would put it, "icky things"? Maybe he had no idea that what they were doing had the chance to produce a daughter.

It's good to see all the absurdity go out of comics.

Because it would be inconvenient for the story.

No, seriously, I'm pretty sure it actually is to do with the fact that she lives outside of couchland, and not in it. you can't live indefinitely by switching between the two, but it does affect you at some point in your development.

Mille does age backwards!

In reverse.

He's got me there. I forgot that Millie does age backwards from the perspective of Captin Locke and the couch world.

I was thinking of something about the backward-aging genes being recessive, but I like the couch explanation better.

I almost remember it being said somewhere that you only age backwards if you live in couchland.

Do they come forth by some cause that has nothing to do with, as the current Locke would put it, "icky things"? Maybe he had no idea that what they were doing had the chance to produce a daughter.
The trailer for the new Brad Pitt movie "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" has him being born very old and aging in reverse. The infant they show is very wrinkled looking so it's probable that is how they are born in Locke's world. It's also how I explain it in my poem, The Pirate's Tale which is a biography of Locke's life told entirely from his point of view.

Locke clearly has some memory loss from his time with Ms. Mudd. I'm pretty sure he knew as an adult that "doing something icky" is how babies are made. One thing that bothers me is that DCS clearly has Locke losing his memory of being an adult. If they age backwards then their brain would too, resulting in them being more intelligent as they grow younger. He should have pretty good recall of what he was like, and did, 10 years ago.

The Buck Rogers TV series had an episode called "The Golden Man" which had an adult who acted like a child and a child who acted like an adult. At the end, the child explained his people age in reverse and the "adult" is his son.

The BBC sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf had the crew travel to an alternate dimension where women and men's roles were reversed. Lister had sex with his female counterpart and got pregnant since that's the way it worked in that universe.

DCS has admitted he does not know how Locke's world works. In fact, the first time we see Locke's world, it resembles the cartoon, "Porky In Wackyland". DCS then calmed it down to a world seemingly stuck in the 18th century or thereabouts.

As for Millie, it's likely since she was born in her mother's world, that world's physics took over.

So, too much info? LOL!
