Though his form is probably due to only managing "generic humanoid" rather than being able to get the specifics right and wanting to avoid descending deeper into the uncanny valley, so the idea could still work less directly. | |

| Jun 5, 2017 at 9:47 | comment | added | David Spillett | Of course there could be an in-universe explanation for the founders in vague humanoid form (rather than trying to look like a specific species or specific individual) looking like the species in the hologram. Perhaps if you take out the species specific evolutions to make an "average" humanoid form it makes sense that this would look like the species that spread bits of their likeness around in everyone's DNA. | |
