Aliens,Predator and Terminator Q&A (Anything!)

[a-dev]

No, you're laughing at people from up on your high horse because you're obviously too cool for this sort of thing.

 

[Reaktwon]

So I have to agree or I can't say anything. Get off your high horse. They are MOVIES, not real life.

 

[a-dev]

There was no agreeing or disagreeing necessary. But you don't have to laugh at people who find this discussion interesting either.

 

[Rotfish]

No one said they're real life. But you have to admit, something like Alien could indeed happen. Why not? If our galaxy is one small speck in an infinite universe, who knows what else could be lurking around out there? And who's to say that what's lurking around is not a parasitic, humanoid organism?

Plus the whole "what we thought was sci-fi in the 50's is now possible" thing still stands. You can't argue with that.

I can laugh and find it interesting, I just don't agree with people making stuff up that isn't in the movies or official books etc. If it's funny, it's funny.

OK. I didn't personally think there was anything funny about the predator eyesight topic. I thought it was an interesting question with a problem that deserved an answer - how would a race develop technology when its eyesight seems to be so poor - the answers people came up with seemed very plausible to me and could, if anything at all, make my next viewing of Predator a tad more enjoyable.

I'm sure that anything is possible in the infinity of space, alien life forms almost undoubtedly do exist. I think you would have to be a fool to think they didn't exist.

You don't have to look beyond earth to find parasitic organisms, the insect world is far more interesting that anything a science fiction writer could dream up. I think that's where the Giger Alien concept has it's roots.

There is a correct answer to those questions? Who said they use their eyes for seeing? Are they eyes as we know them? Who said they invented the technology they use? Maybe they are controlled by Space Jockeys for fun? Lets just make it all up. Anything goes.

Where can I purchase some of these magical drugs you are all on?

To me that drug is being a Predator fan. I enjoy the topics of conversation here.

Last time I check Predators were a fictional creature made of rubber and plastic and had glass eyes.

Go back and watch the '87 Predator. That's the most real mo fo you'll ever see

I'm a huge Predator fan too! They are all bad mofos!

I'm not debating that. I was just saying that so was I and that I enjoy talking and reading about fans views on their eyesight and technology etc.

Yeah I'll you to that!

So do I, but that doesn't mean I can't have a laugh about it too.
