Yep. And how are new individuals created? Is a new 'life' created and then allowed to develop at its own pace with access to all their information? A personality that forms through its own efforts. Is it truly a society where your experiences define who you become? Or are they created with a purpose in mind - soldier, scientist, leader, teacher? What if someone doesn't like their assigned role, is that possible?

And in a homogenous society with no real differences of opinion (other than revenge vs Ascension) how do real, unique personalities develop? Especially if they never leave Asur.

I also wondered - why keep on looking like the Ancients if you hated them so much. Especially Oberoth. I know for a tv show its easier to have human actors rather than special effects the whole time, but... I would have found them rather more interesting if they used their 'fluidness' to exist in other forms, life forms or something unique. 10 000 years and they've created nothing new. Does that frustrate them, that they can only reproduce or copy, but never create?

See... I've been thinking about it. :)
