All true. The difference is, we KNOW they have six digits on each limb. We KNOW they have jaws in their tongues. We're forced to accept this because, like it or not, it's been enshrined into canon, just as the dog alien from A3 and the newborn from AR have. Granted, some of these non-necessities are harder to swallow than others (some being downright loathsome), but at least they have the virtue of being official.CovenantThey've got ONE set of jaws.. another in their tongue is unnecessary...
Because, unlike their blood, a second mode of reproduction is unnecessary.
They've got SIX fingers?? How unnecessary... They've got six toes?? How unnecessary...
If, in our own little natural world, a frog can change sex when there are no males around in the breeding vicinity, then I think an alien being able to make an egg from a living victim isn't *too* much of a stretch...The fact that it's a stretch at all, while serving to explain nothing, is what I object to.
