The Monican authorities destroy her body and burn her apartment, while Trevor is hailed as a hero for developing a cure for the virus. As she prepares to kill her victim, she steps on the tack, stabs her foot and falls from the building to her death. Aeon has travelled up onto the roof, unwittingly picking up a tack from a loose cable fastening on the sole of her boot. As Aeon travels on her own path, Trevor uses the infectious toxin in the beetle to formulate an antidote, which he first uses on himself and his lover. While going there, Aeon sees Trevor and the woman fondling each other, and shows signs of longing for such treatment. As hundreds of soldiers die in the sewers, Trevor Goodchild finds and takes in one of the beetles, hiding it in his finger and carrying it with his lover to the top of the building where Aeon’s target is sleeping. We then cut to an apparent battle between Monican agents and Breen forces, with Aeon liberally mowing down dozens of soldiers on her quest to apparently assassinate a Breen Official, though most of them are already sick and dying from a strange disease carried by an azure beetle. Storyline: The episode starts with the now-famous scene where Aeon catches a fly with her eyelashes.On home media releases they are compiled into a single “pilot” episode.

The first 2 series are almost totally devoid of speech, and all of them encourage a lack of continuity, with this being especially noticeable in the second series, which features the death of Aeon in every episode.Įach of the six episodes in the first season was originally broadcast as a 2-minute segment of “Liquid Television”. Unrelated storyline points interact with each other by the end of the episode and random chance plays a large part in the character's decisions. Having a year to think on it I hold to my original position - you butchered your own creation with your terrible edits to the Director's Cut DVD.An overriding theme of the series is the nature of reality and chaos. The writing is sharp, funny, and philosophically challenging, but the damn thing actually makes sense for once.Įvery self-identified serious Aeon fan should read this. The art and design are superb (get the original cover!). Aeon and Trevor are both archetypically pitch-perfect throughout. The book's central conceit that its contents are a 'file' of random documents is brilliant in both concept and execution. My fan credentials thus established, the Herodotus File is my absolute favorite presentation of Aeon in any medium. Bought and critiqued the Directors Cut DVD set. Bought the 3-VHS(!) box set of cassettes and watched them over and over, finally 'getting' it.

Watched every episode of the series when it aired and didn't understand a thing but thought it was cool.

Watched it and loved the original shorts on Liquid TV, waited and waited and waited all year for Aeon to get to the top of that tower and almost had a heart attack watching the final segment. I was a really big fan of Aeon Flux for years.

The original 1995 cover is really something special, and worth seeking out if you're the odd sort into both rare first editions AND comic books. The new cover with Charlize Theron is unfortunate. Is Aeon truly loyal to Trevor's vision of Bregna? Or is she stealthily subverting his plot from the inside out? This stunning file tells a story of intrigue and treachery, of domination and submission, of love and hate so perverse, it could only spring from the otherworld of Aeon Flux. Crammed with transcripts, surveillance, and memos, the file explores the dark corridors of Aeon's mysterious life, bringing into question her ultimate allegiance. This explosive file of classified intelligence reveals Trevor Goodchild's chilling plan to consolidate power by erasing history, and the hiring of mercenary agent Aeon Flux to transform his plan into an Orwellian reality. But Trevor's and Aeon's bond is deeper than that of assassin to tyrant, and the mystery that drives their twisted relationship has remained as impenetrable as Aeon's padlocked chastity belt, until now. She's Aeon Flux, a lethal, leather-clad spy who cuts through a brutal swath of subterfuge through Bregna, a high-tech society controlled by her nemesis, Trevor Goodchild.
