Everyone loves a good alien mini series

A remake that’s worth remaking. It appears that ABC has latched on and is going to produce the 80s mini series hit ‘V’. I clearly remember that series but don’t remember all the episodes as I was too young to stay up and watch it. But to catch ya’ll up to speed. ‘V’ was a series about an alien race that came to Earth declaring good intentions but I think wanted to enslave the population or somethin bad. Either way, they had human skin but were really reptilian and used to eat mice. Very hyped to see what ABC has in store. Here is a clip from the first episode:

Whoooooooooa, giant head just floatin in the sky. Trippy. I see you Morris Chestnut, tryin to get paid. Had a shot of the Christ statue in Brasil, very cool. I’m ready!

Independence Day

Here is some [scary] sci-fi news. Scientists have discovered new planets in other solar systems. The HR8799 system has a star with three planets orbiting it. This new discovery makes scientist happy because it could lead to finding another Earth to ship people to once we thoroughly fuck this one up (like in Wall-E which wasn’t bad for a Disney owned Pixar, but still far from their glory days). I think this discovery is a double edged sword. Maybe even triple edge (yea, that’s how bizarre it is). For one, if we do discover a new Earth then how much effort will we put in to maintain this one? I feel like we are gonna end up going down the Galactus path (I know the non comic nerds are like “huh?”). Just destroying one planet after the other because some humans are a virus to this planet (Agent Smith put it sooo nicely in the first Matrix movie). Second scary scenario is if we are discovering new planets, how long before another planet discovers us? We all know that these other planets can’t be inhabited by HUMANS, but who knows what other creatures lurk out in space? And who knows if their technology is better or worse? What if they are just gettin their telescopes updated and now can see into our solar system? Do I hear The Day The Earth Stood Still in 3-D? 3-D meaning really happening.
