Yes, mostly because of Ksenia Solo. She caught my eye playing Mrs. Benedict Arnold in “Turn”
Also like the actress playing the ever-clueless Mrs. Hynek, and the short men-in-black actor though he’s more of a “character actor.”
The Jack Webb Project Bluebook show is/was) a more serious (if unquestionably cheaper looking) effort at examining the UFO phenomena.
Have any of the Colliders every paid for themselves?
We have a winner!
The light year is a factor. Some of our early tv programs have not even gotten to them yet
So what if they find it, set up an email account for them? This is a TOTAL waste of money with as much credibility as man-made climate change.
Maybe start with Sol planet III?
(I'd be the first to deny them my part of public funds, and I think that would go a long way to proving some level of intelligence.)
She is evil, cunning, fragile and drop-dead gorgeous in that series. Well chose by casting.
No. I am just saying standard radio is to primitive for an advanced technology to continue using.
Telegraphs used to be out cutting edge communications tech. we no longer use it.
it is the same with aliens. They have an interstellar civilization, they need a fast than light communication system - and radio aint it.
I think SETI is barking up the wrong tree by focusing on radio.
Let them spend their own money to search for aliens. I am tired of people who want my tax money for this and that.
How can people on this little rock think they can find something they can’t, obviously, define? We crawled out from under a rock a few years ago and we think we know about the universe and can determine what passes for intelligent life? You can only get the right answers when you ask the right questions. We wouldn’t understand either.

The problem is much deeper than that.
Humans tend to anthropomorphize what aliens would be.
A great way to think about other alternatives is to look at what Terence McKenna claims about Psilocybin and DMT. His claim is that there are real alien civilizations embedded in those substances.
I am not supporting his claim (have no idea) but those are truly alien advanced high tech aliens he is describing, and of course they don’t use radio waves or any other part of the electromagnetic spectrum for anything.
We can’t even deal with intelligent life on this planet. If the aliens wanted to meet us, they would have met us.
