Hey guys! And the discussion is getting looooooonger

Roswelldesertsky, what do you mean system?

The closest thing I can come up -assuming this is what you want of course- is to take a closer look to the credits in the beginning of season 3. You know, how the alien names turn into our alphabet

Otherwise... uummm...eeerrrr....

shapeshifter, nope... it was never stablished if the shapeshifters had to obey any other Royal. I don't think so, because Tess didn't seem to be able to command over Nasedo, for instance. Besides, I once had two bosses, and when they contradicted each other, it was hell... so I can't really imagine a shapeshifter in that position...

(yeah, rant...)

But, it wouldn't be practical to have that kind of domain shared among the Royal Family. I think the shapeshifters were bodyguards, but that the priority was first and always the King.

The whole thing about Nasedo taking Liz. I think it was as he said: Liz was just bait and a hostage. Granted, he didn't care about if Liz survived or not, and he didn't believe her when she told him that she and Max had seen into each other's souls. The notion was laughable to him, knowing that Max already had a wife and destiny and all that. Now, Max was *not* supposed to be there. In fact, the only reason why Max and co. could find Nasedo was because they were following the Sheriff.

I don't think Nasedo spent an afternoon thinking: "So, I kidnapped Liz, and leave all these clues behind that the local sheriff is going to connect with me and Max's friend... that blondy... Maria, yeah, is going to come up with this plan to tell the Sheriff -who is already on the alert- that the real Max kidnapped Liz so please find him. And then, Max is going to bump into Pierce outside the Sheriff's office---"

See what I mean?

Too many things happened that were not in Nasedo's control. I do believe he wanted to lure Pierce and I do agree Nasedo was way too extremist on his plan, but he wanted Pierce away from Max, and he was really surprised to see Max in the Mirror Maze.

So, nope, I don't think Nasedo had this big scheme to trap Max. Even if he was working against Max, this whole thing with Pierce and all... it just happened. Too many unknown variables were in game here.

Besides, I do think that the NasedoPact was fake, but that's a whole other story...

miss3criss ditto to caring about someone 50 years from now! Definitely, a big, fat YES! You stop caring about people, ideas, situations, etc., etc., etc. in a shorter period of time... Especially if one is leaving a planet in war, and suddenly you find yourself with 50 years of freedom.

And if the Skins are not working for Khivar... then.. no, nothing makes sense

They are working for Khivar for all we got to see. I can even stretch it by saying that maybe the Skins -or these particular group- were mercenaries or an elite group or some sort of bounty hunters, but they still would be working for Khivar.

Now I have to go back to work....
