many thoughts to be had about the pacific but i have to be honest on the first watch i had a really hard time telling all those blonde bitches apart

The Sid and Sledge reunion always reminds me of this family story:

When my grandpa was serving in the Pacific, he heard someone calling his name — it's his neighborhood friend, Whitey. Some real magic to end up on the same teensy island halfway around the world, especially when my grandpa was a Marine and Whitey was in the Army Air Force. "We're brothers-in-law," Whitey said. And that's how my grandpa learned his sister got married.

I find it extremely funny that Herc is full 5cm taller than Yancy and 2cm taller than Raleigh and Chuck. I can imagine Raleigh and Chuck arguing about who is taller and bullying poor Yancy calling him a "short king", so Herc has to intervene in his friend defense and remind the two gremlins he is taller than all of them.

Comedy points if Pentecost appears then to call Herc to a meeting and he just looks at them from above like ??????. Yancy is almost fainting when Raleigh casually asks Stacker about his height.

"That's a full 10cm on Yancy!"

"It's 9cm, Rals."

"Because that's so much better?"

ive thought about getting into band of brothers and the pacific and masters of the air and such but truly all these white boys are indistinguishable! how is a girl supposed to be able to figure out what is going on!

Hi! I love your genetics analysis for the Madrigals! But how is it that all three of Pepa’s children are 100% het for ginger hair, but Antonio and Delores only have a 50% chance of being het for blue eyes? Even if Felix isn’t het for blue himself, shouldn’t their mother having hazel eyes alone be enough to pass down the recessive gene to Delores and Antonio?

Pepa is het for blue eyes, and her brown eye gene is incompletely dominant. That's what reduces the melanin in her iris and causes her eyes to appear green. So she has one brown eye gene and one blue eye gene. This means that she has a 50% chance of passing along the brown eye gene, and a 50% chance of passing along the blue eye gene. Now, the brown eye gene that Dolores and Antonio inherited from Félix could be completely dominant, resulting in brown eyes despite the possibility that they both carry the blue eye trait. Or, as with Camilo, it could be incompletely dominant, but in the case of the other two, paired with Pepa's own brown eye trait. The brown eye gene has a high variance of dominance. And that's before you take possible (but rare) masking genes into account. That's why, even though Dolores and Antonio have brown eyes, they still each have a 50% chance of carrying the blue eye gene. But because they have brown eyes, it is impossible to tell whether they did or did not inherit the blue eye trait until (and only if) they have children with blue eyes.

As for hair color, black tends to be much more strongly dominant than medium brown or European blond. Though in the case of hair color, there are more genes that control expression than there are with eye color. Hence why Dolores and Antonio can both have such dark hair, while Camilo has a more medium brown shade of hair, and all three absolutely still carry the ginger trait.

Mikhail Tikhanov in Hawaii pt. 2: Boki and Liliha

Boki, Chief of Oahu, and Hekili, Minister of the Navy, 1818

In the painting Boki, Chief of Oahu, and Hekili, Minister of the Navy. we get a close look at a male figures face. His hand is tucked under his robe in a similar manner to Kamehameha. From the title of the painting we can gather that this man is Boki, Chief of Oahu. In front of him, we see the side profile of another man, sporting a mustache, Hekili. Behind them, almost invisible, is a third character, a single hand carrying a spear.

Boki was a high chief and close right-hand man to Kamehameha, serving as Royal Governor of the island of Oahu and Minister of the Navy under Kamehameha I.

Boki and Liliha on the Kamchatka, 1818

In this painting four figures are present. Center a man with a bright coloured cape and somewhat somber expression stands holding a bottle and cup. Behind him, a woman sits atop a canon, she wears a yellow skirt and appears to be watching Tikhanov with suspicion. Around her neck is a dramatic looking necklace. Both man and woman appear to be drawn both in profile, and viewed from the back. This style is typical in Tikhanov’s work, and many of his portraits feature multiple angles of the subject. Closer examination reveals that the man and the woman with their backs faced to the scene, although wearing identical clothes, are not the same man and woman as those drawn in profile. The man has short hair, and carries a spear. The woman is not wearing a necklace and crown. Behind her, a fifth man, barely visible, peaks out. He carries some kind of fan or standard. There is a striking similarity between the fanbearer of this portrait and the spear bearer of the other. Between the fan and the spear, the dual opulence and violence that underlie Hawaiian aristocratic society is constantly present, lingering in the background almost out of frame. Boki and Liliha, a portrait by John Hayter 1818

These figures are, of course, Boki and his wife Liliha. Both Boki and his wife Kuini Liliha were leading members of a delegation to England led by King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamamalu in 1824. After the monarchs died from measles during the stay, Boki and his wife returned to Hawaii with Admiral Lord Byron aboard the British frigate, HMS Blonde, which bore the bodies of the late king and queen. They served as interm representatives of the Kingdom, and after returning from the voyage, opened a hotel and bar called the Blonde Hotel, the first of it’s kind on the Island Kingdom.

During their tour of England, they posed together for a second portrait by John Hayter. This allows for a rare opprotunity to compare their likeness to the portrait captured by Mikhail TIkhanov. As we can see, not only are there striking facial similarities, but Liliha is even wearing the same necklace in both paintings.
