I just watched an episode of "Charmed", where Prue was banished to another plane of existence. Now, when the other two sisters tried to find a way to get her back, Phoebe claimed, from a book she was consulting (NOT the 'Book Of Shadows'), that there were actually ELEVEN planes of existence.
Now these guys (writers, producers, directors) are too smart to just splurt something out that is waay too out of whack, so?? I know there of course aren't any other PROVEN planes of existence, but does any of you ladies and gentlemen have any clues as to what the other TEN planes might be?
I got down the astral plane and death... But there must be more! This would be, like, the ultimate topic (especially regarding science-fiction) and yet I know close to nothing aboot it...

Well, I don't know anything about the whole fantasy genre, but, from a scientific standpoint, they could be referring to the superstring theory, which requires eleven spatial dimensions in the universe (or twenty-something; I'm not sure if they ever decided which).

Well, it sounded like they must've put SOME thought in it to set the number at eleven, but I guess a total breakdown/analysis of them is a bit of a tall order on this place. Just thought it was interesting, is all. I'll be checking out that superstring-thing.
Don't even comment on Alyssa, that's a given! She's just...well...yum. I couldn't believe it when I read that SHE was Arnold's daughter in "Commando".

Well, you may as well toss the traditional "heaven" and "hell" in there, too...

I think we'll set that aside for the moment, but we're just two planes shy now, adding H and H. Although I don't know if they're supported in "Charmed", but I 'think' they did an ep about an angel or such. Now that I remember, Piper sometimes calls her "whitelighter"-boyfriend an angel (could just be compliment) and in the last ep I saw, the one where they looked up the planes, thery were battling the FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!! That should be proof enough. That's it. Heaven and hell are in! Maybe they are also counting the planes their enemies sometimes stay in, the place they teleport/transport from when entering and when fleeing...

Kronos, Methos, Silas and Caspian appeared on "Charmed"? Sweet! =)
The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse seem to be popular these days. They appeared in "Highlander: The Series" fifth season, "Comes A Horseman"/"Revelations 6:8." MacLeod got two of 'em, and Methos ("Death") took out Silas.

Yep, Brian Thompson and Patrick KilPatrick as War and Death. They've a pretty impressive record in Sci-Fi TV-shows, seven or eight parts in Trek alone. I bet they like it. I still like that pesky little punk the Terminator gutted.
That MacLeod-quote was great, btw.

It was a good quote! Especially the expression on Kronos' face, and the smirk on MacLeod's.

Just out of curiosity, who in the world came up w/ the names "Kronos", "Methos", "Silas", and "Caspian"? Kronos is a Greek Titan who was truned into Saturn by the Romans. Caspian is a sea over by Russia. Silas is just a not-too-popular-anymore name. And, as far as I can tell, "Methos" isn't even a word.
And there was no mention of Thanatos ("Death"), the only Horseman that was actually named...
