Sigh… I can say the sky is blue right now and that will be wrong. I never meant the word alien as an insult; to the person who took it as that. Sorry. I meant alien as in Andromeda alien, Predator alien – I can send you to photos if need be. It’s as simple as that. Also, from Websters: ALIEN -“1 a: belonging or relating to another person, place, or thing : STRANGE b: relating, belonging, or owing allegiance to another country or government : FOREIGN c: EXOTIC 12: differing in nature or character typically to the point of incompatibility”. Alien does not mean bad, and never has as far as I know. Heck, quamquats are alien to me but that doesn’t mean I think they’re less worthy than an apple. As to why do tv/film producers insist on using color, hair, clothing to differentiate aliens from humans? Ask them.
