Ok im new to the world of Aeon Flux, but in the past few months have developed a deep interest (obsession) with it. I resently bought all the tapes and am haveing trouble understanding one episode imperticular, "The Purge". If anyone can provide ANY insight into the episode (why put popsicles on the custodians, what happens to Trever/Bambara at the end, ect.) i'd be very much abliged.

You mean to say that you wouldn't enjoy jumping off walls while wailing like a banshee caught in the grip of one hellified ice cream headache? How strange. As for Trevor, maybe he smiled with satisfaction. Bambara was off drinking rum whilst defecating in a British accent

Matt: So sorry, I'm afraid I've misinformed you concerning the plight of Bambara after the show. He was in fact performing a recreational autopsy whilst drinking rum and defecating in a British accent.

I haven`t seen this one in a while, but didn`t Bambara die at the end? Anyway, here`s my theory about the popsicles. I`m pretty sure that Lorna was using those red white & blue "rocket pops". Peter Chung might be using the colors of the American flag as a metaphor for freedom.
