Background Information
The Kimera and their involvement with the backstory of Earth: Final Conflict is still a source of significant debate among fans of the series. That the species, its history and their perspective seemed to change several times over the course of the series had led to a great deal of theorised backstory. The Kimera or their abilities were often used as plot devices in the second season, and occasionally thereafter. The constraints of writing deadlines and plot requirements may have led writers to take an approach that was not wholly consistent.

Famous quotes containing the words background and/or information:
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
