Det där med att asgarderna fortplantar sig genom kloning tyckte jag var märkligt. Anledning: I söndags köpte jag tv-spelet "Destroy All Humans!", där man är en alien från en ras som också klonar sig och börjat få slut på DNA.
De sa ju att Asgarderna var en döende ras i avsnittet för att de klonar sig.
Below the planet's surface, Heimdall explains the nature of her vital research to Major Carter. The Asgard are clones, and have not been able to reproduce sexually for centuries. When an Asgard is near death, his consciousness is transferred into a new clone body, giving them a measure of immortality. But they have been unable to perfect cloning technology, leading to a controlled degradation with each generation. The Asgard are a dying race.
"This was the first story we'd ever done with a character that was entirely computer generated. In this case it was a member of the Asgard, Heimdall. However, in order to do this we needed a real person to stand in for the alien, so we asked Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser). She wore a black leotard with a picture of Heimdall painted on the front of it and a [stocking] mask. It was important to hide Teryl's face so that the other actors wouldn't automatically look at her but, instead, at the alien's face while we were filming."
"Unfortunately, there was a problem in that Heimdall was shorter than Teryl. This meant that on the front of her costume, the alien's head was right in the middle of Teryl's chest. To further complicate things, we stuck two little lights over the alien's eyes to make it easier for the actors to focus. Lucky for us Teryl has a great sense of humor because Rick and Chris would crack up when they had to talk to her chest. Naturally, all the shots of Teryl were taken out in the end and replaced with CGI images of the alien. Brad Wright (executive producer), who cut 'Revelations,' said he could not keep a straight face whenever a shot of Teryl's chest and those two little lights came up on the screen."
