Star Trek is bobbins. All the aliens are just humans with either some form of pastry attached to a body part, shiny skin or basically elves. The lack of imagination is staggering.

Any way back to the OP. Aliens would learn that humans love talking about bikes, aren’t actually that keen on riding them and will argue about anything.

First question would be what tyres for riding Saturn’s rings?

Star trek is very poor SF – its basically Wagon train in space.

I don't think series 1 is poor. It's classic 60s scifi with its psychadelic overtones. Obviously the imagery is pure USA + cold war, but that's 60s America for you.

But look how many times the warrior race who glorify death in battle comes up. All the sodding time.

Physical appearance is obviously limited by practicalities.

I am hoping that when the aliens arrive they will take me home to alpha centauri.

Me too.

Newer Treks are the same though. Got to be down to lack of imagination as decent effects are in most TV now. I’ll admit I’m biased here as I don’t like Star Trek. Soap opera set in space with pastry faced aliens

It'll be Machines or Insect analogues.....

either that or the ECO-extremists like the SunDiver/Uplift War universe.

They would think that 'slack' was a good thing.

It wasn't when I was growing up. Well not if you were a girl anyway.

If it was a real Extra Terrestrial I would offer to take him out for a ride. I would even fit a basket to the front of my bike for him to travel in. Perhaps then I would finally be able to do some proper bunny hops and jumps.

Would they have to take a poll first to see how many spaceships they have.
Don't worry about it, trumps spaceforce will take them out before they get anywhere near earth.
