Ironic - Alanis Morissette
For me, it’s the voice. For a voiced character like V, it requires a very special talent to take you on a journey with them, to listen to their fear, pain, anger and despair. Cherami Leigh just does such a fantastic job of bringing V to life for me, of really bringing that raw emotion out and making it feel real!
Cloning would be worse!
Cloning creates identical people with identical DNA. Identical DNA, identical defects, repeated over and over through the colony of twins, triplets, etc…
But it’s a small margin of improvement. Both cases, if the population pool is too small, you’ll eventually end up with sterility, severe mutations, and very early deaths, end of colony within a few generations.
Oh, yes, one of my first DOS games, played it lots, but I don’t think I ever cleared the board. Always ended up running into three or four Klingon ships and getting blown up.
First game was Star Trek 25th anniversary. First game ever to make me feel like a real part of a new adventure!
