> Batel's Gorn DNA infusion, the treatment from the chimera plant, and her earlier encounter with the Vezda are stirred up into a convoluted sci-fi stew to explain all this in a dialogue scene that tries with all its might to use sci-fi-y terminology to convince us this actually makes sense, but mostly just draws attention to what a whopper of an ass-pull it all really is. The overriding sense one gets while watching this is, "Well, they're just making stuff up now and pretending it holds water." It really doesn't. But I have to admit that I respect the commitment to the sheer insanity of the concept, even if the effort and seam-hiding are lacking. In the end, it's basically, "because we said so."
god bless Jammer.
