Clones, after all, with similar looking cloning tanks and whatnot.<br /><br />I enjoyed "The Rebel Flesh" but not enthusiastically.

Regarding the moral dilemma over the clones, it all goes back to questioning individuality and uniqueness. The gangers are precise duplicates, lacking only consciousness that the solar storm somehow grants them. The gangers are then not just copies, but the same but different; the Cleaves ganger shows a softness that her original lacks while the Jennifer ganger is much stronger and fiercer than her source. At least that's what I got from it. <br /><br />I'm pretty sure that they established The Rebel Flesh is set on Earth in the 22nd Century, though. Why a monastery was running through my mind as well. <br /><br />And if you need anything to be happy about, just be thankful that it's not part two of the Doctor's Wife!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284961058548237555.post-39255287217949875942011-05-22T09:51:33.916-07:002011-05-22T09:51:33.916-07:00Thanks for visiting.

Your idea makes a lot of sense in the light of The World Shapers, which identified Mondas with Marinus, the planet with the acid sea.<br /><br />Personally, I hate origins stories. They are lame and pointless.Matthew Celestinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874430461346560520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284961058548237555.post-27313698972404348832011-05-22T08:06:09.048-07:002011-05-22T08:06:09.048-07:00The Nestine genesis is too obvious.

I think you might find the planet is Mondas; the acid suits becoming another kind of casing.<br /><br />http://czechone.blogspot.com/2011/05/early-technology.html<br /><br />Well, that's my theory. <br /><br />AhojMadeInScotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565114264116867519noreply@blogger.com
