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?

  • Great thread, Lotus!

    1. Cutest: Grogu (same species as Yoda, but a baby - even though he's in his 50s - they live a very long time!)
    2. Admire: (I love the Man Who Fell to Earth!!) Spock - as an undiagnosed autist child, I identified with him A LOT!!
    3. Scariest: Most definitely the Xenomorph in Alien.
    4. Funniest: Rocket from the Marvel films
    5. Identify: Those who know me know that I rarely go back and edit a message and so I have to choose Spock again. I identify with him more than the generic Vulcan because he was half human and felt emotions but couldn't express them, which is similar to me for different reasons.
