Thoughts on aliens......

Lotus

I've seen there are quite a few members interested in aliens and sci-fi, and I was thinking about what the best aliens in movies or on TV are?

I'd like to propose 5 categories for your favourites: 

1. Cutest alien - E.T? Ewoks?

2. Alien you most admire - Zhaan? (Farscape) Thomas Jerome Newton? (Man who fell to earth)

3. Scariest alien - The Xenomorphs from the Aliens movies? The "Pod" aliens from invasion of the body snatchers?

4. Funniest Alien - Frank the pug? (Men in black) The aliens from Mars Attacks?

5. Alien you most identify with - for me, it would be either a Vulcan (Star Trek) or Sally Solomon (3rd rock from the sun)

EDIT: as one person here has an interest in aliens but doesn't watch movies, and for those who don't have a particular alien or sci-fi interest but would like to join in, here are some alternative categories regarding what people think real aliens would be like (feel free to answer these too if you've already done 1-5) :

6. What do you think real aliens would look like?

7. Do you think aliens would want to visit us and if so why? 

8. Does the idea of aliens scare you?

9. Do you think that real aliens would have emotions and a culture and values similar to ours?

10. Would you want to meet real aliens and if so why? What would you ask them?

  • AWESOME thread!

    1. Cutest alien - Yoda for me. I always thought he looked adorable.

    2. Alien you most admire - Paul the Alien (Simon Pegg film 'Paul'). 

    3. Scariest alien - The Borg from Star Trek The Next Generation. Found them absolutely terrifying when I first watched it, about age 11 I think.

    4. Funniest alien - Crypto from Destroy All Humans 2 (PS2 game) - his character is absolutely hilarious. Loved playing this game growing up.

    5. Alien you most identify with - Has to be the 11th Doctor from Doctor Who. He's eccentric, whacky, childish, notices the smallest things and obsesses over anything and everything. Like looking in a mirror Smiley

    Aliens aren't a big interest of mine but this seemed like a fun thread and I wanted to join in. They may not be your most typical alien answers though.

    1. Oh the alien from Home.

    2. Jake Sully from Avatar

    3. That Martians from War of the Worlds

    4. Paul 

    5. Leela from Futurama because she spends a lot of time feeling different.
