Damn, never actually read the transcript. Im really intrigued about this "Enemy of the Vord" concept...I wonder if a Protoss-esk race exist in CA 8)
--- Quote from: Rasins on May 06, 2014, 03:10:47 PM ---I realize it's not possible, but as long as we are fantasizing about cast memebers, what do you think about the interaction we'd get with Sean Connery as Ebenezar and Alec Guiness as Langtry?

Depends, would Alec be glowing blue? ;)

My CA WoJ fu isn't nearly as strong, but there is a WoJ that's been brought to my attention rather recently that the Vord are actually a biological colonizing agent for another entity that is dispersed intergelactically through spore like transportation
Edit: Here are a few relevant WoJ's:

4) About 150 years later, when Alera looks a lot more steampunky than it does currently--and when the ancient enemies of the Vord show up to scour the face of the world clean of them.

Day after tomorrow, maybe a mechanized armored division of the US Army vanishes in a sandstorm and shows up on the plains of Placida. It could happen! It's how the Romans got there originally. Week after that, maybe several square miles of the surface of some planet filled with sentient fungii suddenly replaces several acres in Maraul. It happens on a much slower scale than that, of course, but that's the general process.
And I think I've said that when the Alerans showed up, there were several MORE sentient races, which they spent the next several centuries exterminating, and eventually came out on top of the Darwinian dogpile.
The only race that didn't get sucked there through a wormhole was the Vord. The Vord arrived via means of old-fashioned sub-light speed spore-style dispersion from other worlds. The Valley of Silence, in FoC, is a meteor crater.

They send the vord to a world like Earth or Carna the vord adapt their forms to best suit thier enemy then wipe out all life and begin altering the atmosphere and soil to better suit the needs their creators. My main reason for thinking this comes from when Amara is speaking with the queen in AF and she speaks of the "Great Purpose".

God I love it when someone picks up the little puzzle pieces I don't illuminate with a spotlight and puts them together. :) I mean, I'm not even trying to hide the big plot tropes, like the identity of Tavi's parents and so on. They're staples of the fantasy genre. It's the smaller details and background and the character conflict/interests that are happening beneath the surface that I've tried to put extra work into. It's really gratifying to see that readers are smart and that they're connecting the dots.
Very astute inductive reasoning, divad. :)

So would the the "Ancient Enemy" be a rival of the Parent Race, or the Parent Race itself cleaning up after their terraforming tech? Or the rival terriforming tech of a Rival Parent Race?

I like your Rashid and McCoy, but the rest are way too young for my tastes as SC members. And Mai specifically would need to be a tiny and frail looking old woman, to my mind.
