One respondent refutes the theoretical existence of said fifth installment with a pithy rejoinder:

There is no Alien 5 fool

Another denier:

ya definately fake plus it would be Alien 5: Xenocide as the xenomorphs are aliens and chicks gotta be what 50 in real life?

A little intrepid investigation reveals the logical flaw undermining this exciting claim:

and plus if it wuz to come out it would be in 2007 cause i looked it up

Some feel that even the possibility of the series being continued is a bad idea:

The alien series is dead. It died with 4. And then the corpse was kicked a few times with Avp. The only alien movie that would spark my interest is if they ditched Ripley. The title of these movies is “Alien” not “Ripley’s Adventures”.

the aliens series is dead, can´t see any more being made except the AVP story

Who gives a shit. All i need to hear is that weaver is returning to know that it will be utter shit.

One person explains why the series had already gone on one film too many:

This sounds like a really bad idea for them to make more alien movies it ended with four which think should not have been made anyway due to the fact that they put the stupid grey alien it.

However, if one were to happen, some folks know what they want to see:

no way not another one god but if they did they should make a new alein like the alien king the bigger and badder one that could kill a queen

Another person goes into more detail. A lot more detail. By which I mean a LOT more detail:

I may be bold but this is how it should go… ALIEN ANNIHILATION: Call takes Ripley to see Bishop. We find out that Bishop was taken from Fury 161 and rebuilt by Weyland-Yutani to find out if he knows anything of use. Turns out Bishop designed the second-gen droids. Ripley, being half alien starts to have nightmares and realizes that she is sensing the hive from a great distance…something calling her. Ripley, Bishop and Call go to the government and make them realize the threat of these creatures and that they must be destroyed. We send Ripley, Bishop, Call, the other second-gen droids and a crapload of space marines to wipe them out. Ripley uses her connection to the hive to find the space jockey planet along with some major fire power and an armada. With the help of the space jockeys we take out the planet or if they don’t wanna help we fight them too! The Queen could be bad-ass because she came out of one of the space jockeys. She would be a little different of a design and a helluvalot bigger. Let Ripley and the Queen showdown and let Ripley take out the aliens and the planet along with herself for total annihilation. Because as long as Ripley lives, she could be captured and the aliens could be brought back. BAM! There’s your film. It would kick ass, especially with Scott and Cameron involved and it would let Ripley go out with the bang she deserves. No weepy death scene like ALIEN 3.

And that was only half that person’s post, by the way.



“Ok,I will go on telling you about high beings aliens.”

“Submitter-1″ has some words of wisdom for his fellow message boarders:

When aliens looked at human ,they have some special feelings and thinking .
Because they have experienced many time ago what we are experiencing and they still remember those experiences very clearly.
Plus they didn’t need our things any more,so those feelings are main feelings in their minds.
So,they are not thinking about how should they rob earth,but thinking about their histories.
They are comparing past themselves to human.
They know pains of their past and happiness of their past and hopes.
So,those feelings are complex.

Some people have trouble grokking his deep meaning:

all i see here is some out-of-context rambling. no offense, but most of us will have no idea what you’re going on about.

Thankfully, Submitter-1 returns to clarify:

For some usage, I will give you lessons so you can have more understanding.

my lessons:
1. did any one of you human read any history written by animals?
answer: no.
2. do you know what that monkey is thinking clearly?
answer: no.
3. do aliens know what you are thinking clearly?
answer: yes.
4.
aliens
or
your teachers and brothers and parents
who know your feelings and minds more?
answer: aliens.

However, enlightenment does not come quickly:

I think he’s trying to make us believe he’s an alien :D

…Maybe he should find a board that would let him communicate in his native language.

Aliens as Opposed to Babysitters


by Charlie Bebattica

Few people in recent memory have devoted themselves to the popularization of the wonders of science as late astronomer Carl Sagan had during his lifetime. His 1997 book, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, is an exceptional work which advocates reasoned critical thinking over the banalities of psuedo-science. Unlike many of his peers in the skeptical set, Sagan didn’t chide, browbeat, or indulge in snide condescention; he understood mankind’s intrinsic hunger for answers, and attempted to demonstrate why the scientific method is crucial for understanding the world around us.

Not everyone agrees, of course. Of the (presently) 377 Amazon.com customer reviews of the book, 271 give The Demon-Haunted World the maximum five-star rating while 14 give it just one. Here are a few telling excerpts from the one-star review crowd:

He has always been very superficial when criticizing the so called “pseudosciences”, a term that, by the very way he uses it, only shows how his outlook on Science and on human Knowledge is short-sighted. Sagan sees Science as the supreme method for looking at and for understanding the Universe we live in, looking with despise on other ways of understanding reality (presently, I prefer to see Science as just one out of many different ways of grasping Nature’s mysteries).

I myself like to look at the Universe with my head tilted 45 degrees to the left.

It amazes me that this book is so extravagantly over praised. It really is a dull, creaky, moldy hymn to the belief that science can substitute for religion. Wrong. In a materialist universe, nihilism is the only point of view justified by the facts and the only objection to even crimes against humanity such as genocide is that you don’t personally like it (as Bertrand Russell admitted).

In other words, “Without my unquestioned faith, there would be nothing to keep me from going on a mass murder spree.” In that case, what can I say but “YAY, DOGMATIC ZEALOTRY” (and check to see if Kevlar vests qualify for super saver shipping rates).

I find myself perplexed at Sagan’s utter lack of consideration for the area thru which matter-science and spirit are interoperative. One example is his comment regarding abduction scenarios and why aliens never are “caught” by house alarms hooked to cameras and the like. I mean, I thought we were talking about alien phenomena, not the babysitter or neighborhood crook.

Unless your babysitter or neighborhood crook happens to be Gorthan from Rigel-Prime, trying to pick up some extra solar credits in between his usual gig of dispensing 50′s sci-fi movie clichés and anal probes…

To paraphrase Epicurus: I spit on science and all those who worship it if it does not make us happier. Sagan and all the members of the Church of the Scientific Inquisition need to justify every scientific discovery with an affirmative answer to the following: Will knowing this increase human happiness? If the answer is negative (as it clearly is for such things as the ability to manufacture bio-terrorist weapons) then let us bury that scientific discovery and be done with it. Sagan and his other scientism buddies worship science for its own sake. We need to judge everything according to whether it makes us happier or not. Once you make something other than human happiness be the criterion for what is good or bad, you have disengaged yourself from the species and are an enemy of mankind. If science helps-great! If it unleashes tools and weapons that no one can control-to the trash heap it must go!!

Using internet technology to pass vulgar utilitarian rants off as book reviews? Not increasing human happiness, I’m afraid. The trash heap is that way, compadre.

He must take us all to be dumb, inbred, crud breeders. To him we must be too dumb to tell a UFO from swamp gas or bigfoot from a guy in a costume.

Just a little defensive, eh?

What can I say,
The Devil is preety good at covering stuff up. He uses even the best Scientist and astronomers to crush anything spiritual.

Of coarse this book is garbage and I suggest that everyone who likes this book to please take yourself and your scientific thinking out of the box.

In the next coming years people you are gonna see some serious evil spirtual activity and because you have polluted yourselves with closing your mind of to it, you won’t know or be ready for the things that are going to occur.

Get thee behind me, rudimentary syntax and grammar skills — I WILL NOT BE PUT IN A BOX AND POLLUTED!
