Black Spathi? Or Spathi?

I still am a bit confused... Is the captain's wife Talana? Or is it some other funny Zoq-Fot-Pik girl? Or is it a hunam?

Well, that happens when you let them go with you when you're going to meet the Umgah ambassador. Selective gene modding to remove any sign of blue, isn't that a funny joke? Har har har! 
Nah, just kidding. But it is interesting. I would have expected a blueish skin at the least. Things aren't like Disney, in which if you have two different breeds of dogs do the reproductional stuff, you get one dog of the first breed and one of the other. You would expect a subbreed. (is this how you say that?)
Then again, who knows if he didn't do his stuff with a human at the same time. He is a hero, after all.  People love heroes. (some are neutral and the bad guys hate them.)

It has been pointed out that Syreen and Humans may not be genetically compatible, despite outward appearance. Talana and the Captain might have adopted (my "it all fits" idea is that they adopted some 'synth they saved from Orz), or Talana may have used a human donor egg.

"You would expect a subbreed. (is this how you say that?)"
In English it is called a crossbreed. For instance, a Tonkinese is a crossbreed of a Siamese and a Burmese cat.

At first I thought that Tanaka was to be the wife... uhh...husband of the captain, until I saw Talana which is prettier than Tanaka. Poor Tanaka....

Not true. It actually happens quite a bit that one offspring looks a lot like one parent and another looks like the other parent. The way physical traits get passed down is not homogeneous at all. Ever seen a Punnett square?

Never try to understand an alien, kids. They're...well, alien.)
