You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And Beka being the mother of all Nietzscheans?
Exactly.
Yes, Trance is a sun, she is in love with the moon - but they can never be together because that would put their planetary system all out of wack.
Also, Dylan Hunt is not only a "paradigm" -- i.e., some sort of being with a genetic predilection for time-traveling, he is also some sort of chosen protector of the avatar of the sun, i.e., Trance.

Umm, some of that was on the new episode as of last night. Should I have whitefonted?

rather than have them were freaky jumpsuit things as in Star Trek.
This was one of the most ill advised future fashion choices, right up there with the velour outfits of Original Gen Trek, or the endless turtlenecks worn by everyone in the future in all the others '60's TV shows and movies.

I liked the velour Original Trek outfits. When I'm a god in the far future, you'll know it by virtue of the fashion trends returning to futuristic 60s styles.
The photo above clears up the mystery of why I've never found Richard Dean Anderson attractive despite everyone else talking him up: in that photo he looks just like my cousin Jamie did about 20 years ago.

What kills me is the DS9 episode "Trials and Tribblations" where they firmly establish that yes, in fact, Star Fleet went through a period where that's what the outfits looked like, rather than try and wank it out like it never happened.
And now that Enterprise features very functional, militaristic outfits, you really have to wonder what that particular period in Federation fashion history was all about.

Note to self: Never put Nutty in charge of your ragtag fleet. It brings out her worst dictatorial urges.
You will be glad for my dictatorial urges come the revolution, boy.
In general, I would call velour a fashion no-no, except on young children. But, my flatmate (a TNG trekker) reports that spandex is out too -- apparently the TNG outfits got "loosened" after about a season because the men were all paranoid about how they looked in tight pants.
Let us all have a moment of thanks that original Trek was 1966, not 1958; thus it was yellow, red, and blue instead of orange, sky blue, and brown. I think those colors do not send the proper diplomatic message into the broader universe.

After you institute a forced breeding program? I'm thinking no.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DRAGO MUSSOWHATEVERTH FUCKVINI IS AT LEAST A LITTLE BLACK!!!
I'm sorry, I'm really hung up on this, so much that I'm going to be watching the rest of Andromeda, to show how the son of this man can look like this????
Not to mention -- how those two can have identical DNA, plus the former have Beka's DNA????

All the more reason for you to get cracking on successful human cloning. I will have nobody to boss around if we all die out within a generation.
