It's in the new release of the comic they're selling right now.
Oh, the trade paperback version? Yeah...I didn't get that.
It's a version that has all of them.

I suppose that's possible, though I still have issues with the biological reprocussions of a species whose members cannot share genetic material.

What issues?

Probably means Asari were once just 10 billions versions of 100 different asari. Meaning thousands of the same faces walking the streets, because nothing is gained.

Hmm...I just think the randomization of the second set of dna would be different each time an asari melds with a partner, so no asari would be identical.

That would be true, but this is Asari, Asari. Thus, nothing is change. The father simply is used to activate the pregnancy, since I doubt Asari can just be pregnant when they feel like it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be fathers. They need a partner, but if the partner isn't a different species, then it's just blue girl, with your face (aka, Samara and Morinth, Liara and her mother, etc).

Why would this matter if it's asari/asari vs. asari/non-asari? It would work the same regardless...the 'father' simply provides the other nervous system to activate it. This should be species independent.

I never thought Liara looked anything like her mother

Let did a compare with the new Liara. Also, keep in mind, her mother is 1000 years older.

Because it's not DNA. It's like, + and +. You get nothing from that, except more. But + and -, you get differences. Things can be 20, things can be 100, things can be 63.4, etc. You get more random numbers. But with Asari, it's 20, 40, 60, 80, 100.

I realize you're no longer here to defend your position, but I think this point is precisely what Sig is saying. Since we can assume Asari do continue to have genetic mutations, and since by the theory you and jlb are taking Asari are incapable of sharing genetic material with one another, over a long period of time genetic mutations would lead each Asari bloodline into an entirely seperate species.
Humans have genetic mutations, some of which result in the species changing. But because humans can share these mutations with one another, evolutionary theory would tell us that humans can use these mutations to adapt the entire species. If humans had a mutation that added a beneficial trait, that trait would enter the gene pool and be shared among large sectors of the population.
But since Asari are incapable of sharing mutations with one another by your theory, any mutation would only be passed mother to daughter, mother to daughter. If an Asari developed green skin (yes), she might pass that skin pigmentation to her offspring, but never to an Asari who is not a direct (randomized) clone of the original green asari. Enough of those mutations occuring in different lines would make each Asari bloodline distinct from all others, until the point that they no longer resemble one another as a species.
At some point the only shared species trait might be the ability to reproduce in the Asari manner, but even this is circumspect...a bloodline may develop a mutation that changes this.

You stole that from me!!!! I think it was your idea though.

That makes no sense. Why would an asari melding with another asari mean less random numbers if all that is happening is that the linking of the nervous system is triggering a randomization of the second set of DNA? I think the randomizations possibilities are independent of the 'father'.

I still wonder why they changed her face model again.

I think that they are trying to make her look more like her mother. They darkened the color of her lips, and her skin color seem to be different.
