Trivia question

[marycrawford]

In Hercules: the Legendary Journeys, did we ever find out what Nebula's pirate ship is called?

Ships need names - and if the Argo has a name, so should this one. Hmm.

The Inanna? Or would it be heresy to name one's ship after a god?

I still think she would've called it "MINE".

LOL! Yeah, I can see that. :-)

[marycrawford.livejournal.com]

So can I.

"What do I call it? I call it mine, monkeyboy."

But I still want to know the ship's proper name, too. :-)

I don't think it had a name, at least not that I recall. It was either just "the ship" or "Nebula's ship." That doesn't mean they didn't mention a name in early fifth season and I blanked it out with the rest of the trauma, though. :0

Heh. Yeah. I watched all of season five exactly once and didn't tape it due to sudden attacks of outrage - I sort of regret that now, what with not being able to source vids until they bring out the DVDs.

Thanks for weighing in. I found one fanfic that called the ship Dauntless, but that's it, and of course that may be the writer's idea rather than canon.

I don't remember them mentioning a name, but it's been a while.

As for naming a ship after a goddess, they're very active in the Hercuverse. I'd think that if the god/dess approved of it then it'd be okay. This is the kind of universe where you can ask permission, after all, and where they'll let you know if they don't approve. It might also be kind of fun to play with Nebula's relationship with the Sumerian gods.

Absolutely. They have cool gods, too, if we can forget about Dahak for a moment. *g*

And I think you're right, if the god approves or isn't the vengeful sort it could be OK.

I think it is mentioned in Web of Desire.
I could be wrong, but I did think it was named.

Barbara, too tired to go watch the episode again. Now that's bad!

Liviathen? Probably mispelled that too. :)

Hee! It took me a moment to work this out, but do you mean Leviathan? The monster of the deep?

:checks Whoosh transcript (http://www.whoosh.org/epguide/trans/h404tran.html):

Wow, you're right - many thanks! A quote from there:

“Well-- in that case-- I'm Nebula-- captain-- of the
_Leviathan_. And you boys have come to the wrong place-- at the
wrong time.”

Good to know.

See, I might not be able to spell it, but I did remember it! lol

Hmmm.. Don't you think Poseidon might get jealous? Or see this as invasion of his sovereignty?

[marycrawford.livejournal.com]

You know, I have no idea in the context of the Hercverse - Poseidon never even showed up there AFAIK. But yes, in our mythology it's possible. Interesting idea, in any case. :-)
