Yknow, referencing actual technological development in their stand-ins.
Yeah, sort of. I mostly just looked at the three toasters on offer, and chose the ones I thought fit the character. So it was most definitely intentional to use the classic toaster shape for Leoben, and the larger roundy one for Anders. It's also intentional that Anders is white. It's that Luke Skywalker action hero thing. *g*
I like the idea of referencing the development of technology, but I don't think I/we know enough about the final five for it to work. Are they more developed? Were the final five created after the seven? I always got the impression they were created either earlier than the seven, or at the same time. But this just could be because my migraine medication impairs my concentration. :-P
I had no idea that my choice of toasters was so layered and significant! I was mostly trying not to giggle so hard I couldn't take the shot, with some of them anyway. Mostly the kissing ones. Have you ever tried to make a llama make out with a toaster? I defy you not to laugh.
