#war of the worlds A subject near and dear to my heart always is intelligent life on other planets. I believe that such life does exist throughout our galaxy and other galaxies. We are pretty safe from visits by these other intelligent societies due to the tyranny of distance and Einstein's Theory of Relativity which sets the maximum possible speed at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second.)
What if some aliens did arrive on our planet and their intentions were sinister? A brilliant television show has explored this possibility. It is a French and British production titled "War of the Worlds." You can find it on Amazon Prime videos. If you speak French, you will love it even more. Here is the link:

Be careful out there!
Stay "Far from the madding crowd."

An interstellar species could nudge an asteroid or a comet into the planet quite easily. If such a species ever showed up, we should surrender immediately because it would be trivial for them to exterminate all life on Earth. We'd be conquered immediately.

Resistance is all science fiction bullshit. A species able to do interstellar travel either has a lifespan well beyond ours or has technology beyond our comprehension.

I've offered this many times, but if you like science fiction:

I especially liked Desertion. I really loved dogs at one point.

1/4 of the stories are garbage, but the rest, either good or excellent. I really hated "The Snake" - amazingly stupid story by John Steinbeck. I almost think he wrote it to prove his reputation over-rode his talent. If any other person wrote that garbage, it would have never made it to print.

Everyone really does know that all of the scifi shit really doesn't exist right?
It's just mind exercises created many years ago to ponder the vast openess. There are no wormholes, no light speed or warp drives, it would take millions and millions of years to travel to your nearest star. The animal/species that made the space craft and flew it into the Universe, could have evolved into a totally different species by time the journey ended. That's how long of journey it would be. So forget about staying focused on the mission objective, who will carry out the objectives after the crew dies. Oh year freeze the crew then wake them up. Well what about freezer burn, look at that 2 year old TBone steak at the bottom of your freezer. Do you think it's still capable to be revived and be as good as it was the day you put it in the freezer.
I could see some crude form of life catching rides on space flotsam, but no complex advanced lifeform doing bar crawls in the Millennial Falcon.

Much of science fiction is a sort of openess, but not of space.

Blade Runner asked "what does it mean to be alive"? The original Star Trek film asked "what does it mean to exist - what is the higher purpose?"

All science fiction that is well remembered asks very heady questions, but it removes the frame of the present so you can make an objective look at the situation. The original Star Trek series talked about the Vietnam War, about entirely different species, about racism, and did it in such a way, you weren't even aware of it. A Private Little War, Devil in the Dark, Let That Be your last Battlefield.

It asked what it meant to be human - What Are Little Girls Made Of? Apparently, not circuitry. Perhaps we're not just meat robots - the idea that we aren't just simply meat machines was presented over 50 years ago. That's not a concept today, the film Replicas just proposes we are nothing but programming.

People look at these old classics and see them as campy and low budget, they were actually proposing challenging thoughtful questions, which many people missed.

I used to love science fiction, first for the science, and later, for what was beneath it. So much science fiction is an allegory for modern life. Most people seem to miss it. It's all in books, it rarely gets translated to film, but man, Starship Troopers was the sharpest, least appreciated, satire I've ever seen. It's one of my favorite films - it's criticizing the United States, has a false flags, and compares us to ruthless Nazis seeking lebensraum.

Went over most viewers heads but the older I get, the more appreciate the masterpiece.

When Aliens finally invade Earth with death rays and teleporting Republicans in pick up trucks on country roads, into their prison ship to never be seen again.
It will happen during an election year, and will probably not be a thing anymore after the Democrats won every election. Until its needed in the next election.

I loaded up "What Are Girls Made Of"

Corby: "It's still me Christine, Roger. I'm in here You can't imagine how it was, I.. I was frozen, my legs were gone, I only had my brain between life and death. This [a damaged hand of a machine] can be repaired, easier than another man can set a broken finger. I'm still the way as I was before Christine, perhaps even better!"

Christine Chapel: "Are you(,?) Roger?"

I love the dual meaning. It means - "are you the same person, or, are you the thing I once knew as Roger but something else?" I miss awesome writing like this. There's nothing like this in modern fiction today. I miss the heady ideas of the 1960's stuff on television, and I didn't even exist in that time. The golden age of heady concepts and ideals on television is dead, and film died not that long after. This short dumb episode of television poised the question of what being human meant.

And yes, I know "nurse chapel" got the part because Gene Roddenberry was sleeping with Majel Barrett - I thought she did a good job as #2 in the original pilot. Roddenberry married her in the end and had 3 kids with her, after his divorce.. Not exactly a perfect guy.

Verhoven is awesome. I don't know why it was panned back in the day. Possibly the beginnings of wokeness?

People took it literally thinking he was promoting fascism.

The satire of Starship Troopers was so great, people didn't recognize it as satire at the time.

When I first saw it, I saw it as repulsive, but it grew on me as being probably the most biting satire I've ever seen. I love the film now.

It's one thing for aliens to abduct humans, but I wish they wouldn't leave their used, crusty strap ons all over the deserts.

Yes, I see you're disappointed that they did not leave behind a new one.

Science Fiction is about being interested in the future, where you and I will spend the rest of our lives. Future events will effect us in the future, and you can't prove it didn't happen.

I've seen all the Ed Wood films except the soft-porn films, and I did enjoy the biography that Tim Burton did.

No chance. They already marked earth off limits due to the extreme contagious leftoid tranny fag soyboy woke virus which comes in many mutations, the blm variant, the metoo variant, the globull warming variant and many more. Last thing they want is that virus to reach their spaceship(s) and pussify and destroy their galactic reign in no time. It's sort of a reverse 'Alien' situation for them.

Or maybe those aliens planted that woke virus to sabotage humanity from becoming a competing space faring race.

If they had enough of us, we'd see a massive asteroid headed our way, probably sent around the back of the moon so there would be no reax time. Or, there would be a superbug that killed 99%+ of the population within a few days of unknown origin.

What if our government was full of sociopaths and child rapists..?

It's an interesting topic; but as others may have mentioned, there are plenty of assholes here on earth who would gladly injure or kill me to take what I have.
21   komputodo   2023 Apr 16, 8:01am  

what is more plausible? Aliens from other planets or time travelers from the far distant future?

A Massive space craft, 500 million years old crashing into Earth, with fossilized passengers.
So in a way both is the most plausible answer.

Visitors from another planet bring with them a book that is deemed to be a book of wisdom entitled "To Serve Man." Unfortunately for humans, it's a book that reveals 'sinister intentions.'
