I think Happyshooter is a film critic. He sounds jaded and boared enough. So HS- kill your TV set before it kills you :)
I like the series, X-Files with a Spielberg(sp?) touch. Good acting, good storyline, interesting permise.
I dunno about the aliens thing...I accept on faith that there is a lot right here on earth I dont know about, so it goes without saying that the cosmos is 10x times as vast and full of 'stuff'. In a way anyone that has faith in God has faith in extra-terrestrial life and intellegence. As for Little Grey Men and Star Trek? I think with the technology to travel between worlds, comes a very weighty, very advanced set of moral necessities that Human Kind just doesnt have yet. I think if we discovered the ability to travel between the stars without first being able to master our own domain, it would be disasterous. We'd become like the Klingons or the Empire from Star Wars. I think we may be getting visits, possibly, but if anyone was ever given 'for-sure' proof and evidence, well, if mankind sees the technology, he has to posess it. And we just arnt ready yet. It would be like giving the Romans nuclear weapons.
I want to explore space. So many nights as a kid I fell asleep dreaming about standing on the command deck of a FTL capable exploration ship, or commanding a warp-capable warship in combat. 'Space is' to me, and I'd forsake everything human to go. But thats selfish and very small thinking in the end, so I'll just have to wait to take my amazing journey when this body wears out and its spirit releases its hold and floats out into the great unknown...
