Gene Dynasty is not a perfect clone after all
The clones of Creon-Brother Dawn, Brother Sun, and Brother Dusk-have had ultimate powers for centuries, believing that they are a perfect copy of Kleon I, ensuring that his genetic dynasty can be his “heir” “Ruling the galaxy.
During the course of the first season, the Dawn Brothers (played by Cassian Bilton) were distressed to conceal his disagreement with his ex, because he knew it would lead to him being killed, and it did.
But the ending shows that Kryon clones have actually changed the DNA for decades, and they are not a perfect reproduction of Kryon I.
Pace said he felt that the distortion of the plot brought “dark, terrible irony” to the genetic dynasty, especially his iterations of the Kleon brothers.
The actor said: “I think one of the interesting and subtle changes that took place within the character is that he became aware of his feelings and sovereignty.”
“His life has always imagined that he is another person. I think at the last moment of “Spiral”, he realized that he was alone, he was just a human being, and he was not an empire.
“I think it’s horrible to hear that clones are not the same person’s genes anyway. [irony].”

He added: “I actually believe I have seen [Brother Dawn] And said it’s time for us to be independent individuals from each other, and then Liming of course died in order to understand that we are [individuals] It has always been dark, scary, and ironic. “
Pace portrays more than one brother’s day Base, But the second one who plays a more important role in science fiction shows is different from the previous one.
With this in mind, Pace continued: “You saw him in the first throne room when he was a child, and witnessed his brother’s behavior and learning style. [scene] Together with Harry Shetton (Jared Harris), “Oh, it is possible to think about this in a different way”.
“So at that moment a seed was planted in his heart, and then he lived that kind of life, and then we saw the consequences of this kind of life throughout the episode, especially in The Spiral, he started to realize This kind of fantasy is of no use to him, no use to the empire, you know, I really like the way we see him [do], How did he change his conditions and understand this new way of thinking.
“I think it needs The Spiral, it needs this kind of journey, a pursuit, to rebirth you, to be able to master the true fundamental change in your perception of the world, do you know?”
Salvor Hardin and Gaal Dornick are relatives
this Base The ending ends in a very dramatic way, Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) learns that Salvor is her genetic daughter.
After 138 years of frozen sleep journey, Gaal returned to her hometown of Synnax, where she found Salvor in frozen sleep and awakened her, then she revealed that she was waiting for Gaal because she was her and Raych Foss (Alfred Enoch)’s child.

The non-binary actor explained: “I do know, yes. Before I actually got this part, I was told that this was the case.
“I won’t say that this affected my performance, but I did try to add some subtle similarities, small things in the way they express things. But most of them are in writing, so I don’t have to work too hard to do it. To this point.
“Sometimes what they say echoes each other, they have the same worries and similar things, so this is easy to do, but I will try to imitate Lou’s crying face from time to time.
“Lou has a very special crying face, and Gaal’s first season was very bad, she cried a lot, so I was able to copy a bit and put it in.
“It is not difficult to connect these two characters, but we also want to be as subtle as possible, but whether the audience knows when they are watching depends on whether they are willing to notice.”
Harvey continued: “A show like this, because it is such a big universe, if you pick a character that will almost never happen, because so many things happen.
“So, there are few clues there. If you really look closely, you might notice them, but if you think of it as a large slate, then you might not notice it.
“But either way, I think it’s really satisfying to let the audience see them standing together in the end, but it’s really great to see them in the same place.”
