Aliens...

non existent figments of your imagination

 

If they did exist, why would you assume there was only one kind?

 

Great movie.

 

Yup. my fave of the series too.

 

Meh, I've done worse. :scowl:

 

Or how about, demons from the pit of Hell attempting to keep the gullible looking to the stars for the answers to our problems rather than looking to God.

Hey, come on, I know it sounds wierd, but I can't be the only dude listening to George Norry here.

Plus, it's in a neat book called "Little Green Men and Lights in the Sky."

 

I like the aliens from that movie "Mars Attacks!". They were out for blood, but they were funny, so it's o.k.

 

Aliens always blow up much cooler than humans in movies and video games, regardless of species.

 

Rob, that was explained in that life can usually only be sustained on M-class planets. Hence why most aliens in ST bear an appearance at least somewhat similar to humans in basic physiology, although there are vast other differences in regards to physical strength, internal organs, sensory perception, mental capacities, etc.

 

Because what the hell do humans care about non-humanoid life. It can't drive a Ferarri (or space Ferarri) so it's not gonna care how nice and shiny your space Lambo is.

non human=non human.

Short answer: EGO.

 

I beg to differ, there were some great aliens that looked nothing like humans, and still are, as long as you're watching Dr. Who and not Universal's latest attempt to butcher the Star Trek universe on TV. Or Stargate. I mean, the Mos Eisley Cantina scene was after Star Trek. There's plenty of gin-u-wine non-human aliens out there.

Aliens will always look human, though, since green chicks sell more ads than bloated sacks of cybernetically-enhanced protoplasm. Proven fact.

 

Also, IMO, I believe it's extremely arrogant to say humans are the only life in the universe. Can anyone honestly say that in the vastness of space, that there is NOTHING ELSE there? *NOTHING*?

Not a chance in hell.

 

Huge, parasitic monsters who birth their young through humans, and are hunted by predators with a bad case of bloodthirst.

 

Not something I want to run into in a dark alley.
