Name Game
Sorry to be repetitive, but here is another article that needs a naming correction. The article and god/godess should be named "Kishar." Not only can you clearly hear winston say "Anshar and Kishar (no "n")," they are actually named after a historical god and goddess pair. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kishar and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ki_(goddess) for relavant information. I have also validated spellings with four other websites. Although the goddess of earth goes by many names in Assyrian, Babylonian, and Sumarian religions, Kishnar is not one of them. Kishar is. This makes the link to Krishna in the trivia fanon as well.
Also, should we discuss Kishars gender? I realize that it was portrayed by a male voice actor and took over a male host, but historically it is an earth goddess. The two demons are referred to by either their names or "they" in the episode. Egon does say Kishar is Master of earth and fire not "mistress," but that is iffy. What has been done for gozer, who first appeared as a female model and then as a Marshmallow man? I'm fine with whatever you decide but I thought it should be discussed so we aren't being gendercentric or speciescentric. Thanks guys. IthinkIwannaLeiaWaddaUthink? 19:05, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
