@Chad: who says they were a hive mind?

Also, if there were any physiological question, they'dve worn suits - stupid humans do - or invoked some sort of protective tech/method against systemic insemination.

@Le Chuck: old and explored ideas -  Blood Music, Slant, Ender's Game, and others. 'Advanced' is relative. Nature is UBER-advanced: not only is what it does super-sophisticated, it's *embedded*.


@mahkeymike: ET was '82. An 80s movie, but not quite an 80s kid movie. Goonies and all that were '85 onward.

Who says it was separation from the rest that killed him?  Or germs?  Could have been anything.  Maybe he needed to get laid every day or he'd die.  Maybe he was just playing possum.  Maybe he was practicing the alien martial art of Yuck Fu.  The point is that we get to decide what was wrong with him because all we needed to know is that something was wrong.  Sometimes stuff happens and we don't get to know why.

Chadly, you're lovable, like a little brother who needs a good NUGGY!


back @ Le Chuck: incidentally, 'individual' has no human connotation in my vocabulary. (Nor do words like 'sacred' and 'private' exist in it....erm, outside of vernaucalur at best.) Rather, I think and speak in terms of 'autonomy' and 'range of motion'.

Announcing that you have a private vocabulary is pompous and contrary to the point of efficient communication.  If you chose to ignore or have discarded the meaning for common words or ideas then how can message sent ever be message received?  The ability to comprehend the nuance of one's chosen language is something to be valued.  The feeling that one is above or apart from such notions is a mark of a sociopath, or more likely somebody trying to make himself look like he's more interesting than he really is.   ;D

Don't forget that whole multiple personality thing.
