Talk:The Purple Testament

Untitled
The Simpsons "The Ned Zone" parody is obviously Stephen King's "The Dead Zone" and not this episode of "The Twilight Zone". -- Anon

Simpson's Ned Zone
Could someone who has seen The Ned Zone take a peek at the article? The English is horrible, and much of the section is unclear.samwaltz 19:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Space: Above and Beyond
The "Space: Above and Beyond" episode "Level of Necessity" follows a similar thread -- something for an influence section?

What did Shakespeare mean? Purple Testament or Purple Vestment?
Any Shakespeare scholars here? I can't find a good explanation of 'He has come to open the purple testament of bleeding war.' Is there any chance that Shakespeare could alternatively have written 'He has come to open the purple vestment (or purple vestments) of bleeding war.'?


 * Purple vestments could be soldiers and civilians clothing colored by blood as a result of war and battle.
 * Purple vestments could be a reference to royalty (was Royal Purple, aka Tyrian Purple a thing during Shakespeare's time?) and the ease with which rulers can send their people into the bloodshed of war.
 * Purple vestments could be a reference to church leaders (wearing purple vestments) who started numerous bloody Crusades. AdderUser (talk) 05:37, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
