Why Do Aliens Among Us Always Go Native? |
Top 10 Signs You Might Be An Alien Sleeper Agent |

But on topic. The core point, I think, is the touchstone for a lot of SF out there: our culture is superior. The point is that aliens may be superior in every way, but the ins and outs of our daily life will blow them out of the water. And if they actually get a taste, they won't be able to stop.
Coincidentally, I know a lot of people who think this about terrorists....

"My name is 57@~#~@``-> The Peripatetic One. I who wandered the stars for millennia, only finding true peace and friendship amongst my friends the Cherokee, on the planet I once called 'Lonely Star 3'.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE????????"

Aliens always end up "seeing how great it is being human" and the Doctor spends half the time ranting about how fantastic we all are.
Dont get me wrong, I like positive scifi.
But to me positive is showing us a way forward, not patting our backs and pretending everythings wonderfull about us.
Its note even just about society, its physicaly and emotionally too.
We are constantly showed how great it is being mortal....how many storys are there about immortals who hate it and "really want to be human" etc etc.
We are told live is meaningless unless we die. (Bull's to that, I'm with Riker on this one; I plan to live forever.)
Even rationality and logic is argued against often. We are always shown cold, logical soceitys of aliens....implying that we need irrationality else we become robots. (a rather universal assumption that annoys me). We never see both happy and logical do we?
Oh, and we are always told to trust our instincts, that faith is good etc etc.
I want Aliens to stop patting us on the back.

Starman falls prey to Rule #6.

@Grrsn Dn: Also, I think there's a difference between "living among us" and just showing up to attack us or hiding in our remote locations, which rules out some of those.

How was your flight?
It was awful! I beam into the plane and the first thing I notice is that there's... something... on the... wing!
The same thing happened to me, too!

"Well I was driving, and there was a bag in the road, and I swerved because I thought it could be full of bunnies"
or something to that effect. I can't find that clip online.

I think this was the season before Shatner joined the cast.
