"Ancient Aliens." Two hours of von Daniken, David Hatcher Childress, and the usual suspects. Have they no pride?

(And do we need a "woo" forum?)

Yeah, I gave up on it years ago. But it's a poor night for TV and laughing at them is always fun.

That "light bulb" von D. came up with is really precious. No indication of an electrical system to support light bulbs, but that doesn't stop him from putting a "life size" replica in his theme park. (Where's that nuke FUWF was selling. :pissed: )

Belief in UFOs isn't really different from believing in gods or believing that the leprechauns assassinated JFK.

I disagree partly. Statistically, even though the probability that we have been visited by flying saucers from an alien world is incredibly tiny, it is still infinitely massive compared to the 'talking snake' hypothesis put forward by xians.

What is comparable though is the 'believing it because you want to' basis of most UFOphiles.

That's what I was thinking as I watched the show. "Ignore anything that doesn't support your thesis, accept any source that does." Some woo, different day.

Wasn't the worst documentary ever. Not as good as most Discovery programming, though.

Too quick. Low production values. And Neil Lasher was just fucking extraneous.

Well sure. Gotta get it out now to capitalize on the interest. After all, it's not like it was a tragedy, so people won't really care for long. Not that they care about tragedies for long, either.... ;)

I thought it was amusing that the best "human interest" angle they could find was a man searching for his adult son. "Poor little guy, he was only 38!" :cry:
