Dominions Day!

Yeah, great that the most technologically and scientifically advanced race of the galaxy comes to invade a planet without taking the time to analyze the air and the water a couple of minutes

Agreed. That's an aspect of Dom3 I always particularly liked, dunno why.

Ok, first of all, everyone's copying Adept's comment on Atom bombs, and labeling it as mine.
He wrote the comment about 1945, not me, so he deserves the credit.

Second of all, a species technologically advanced enough to cross the gulf of stars, and willing to spend the unimaginable resources it would take to invade a planet, would likely be smart enough to have an immune system that could defeat our diseases. They probably wouldn't even use a natural immune system, they'd have nanobots, or something even better, filling that role. So our diseases would have about as much chance as monkey PD does against fully equipped Niefel Jarls-if those Niefel Jarls were made of solid tungsten carbide, and shot lazer beams from their eyes.

Ofcourse, if it were me planning the invasion, I wouldn't send any of my own people there until my vast robot armies had dealt with most of the resistance.

Third, I've seen the original movie-Tom Cruise is in the remake, so I haven't bothered with the newer version yet-and I've even read the book, a long, long time ago, when I was in elementary school.

We just messed with the "quote" function, you can see it ^_^ I hate that now you can't edit old posts anymore.

With that I can't agree. The "graphic violence" done for a splatter, sadistic, and somehow morbid taste ("Saw" series, Dario Argento's movies) has always disgusted me.
But I see a solid distinction between that one and the "historical" violence of war movies (Private Ryan), the deliberately excessive and unrealistic one of martial arts and action movies, and even the one with an artistic value (300's one with its impressive scenography and rock music). Those ones are ok for me, I'm not of the kind "let's censor all the movies that may hurt children"

Aliens may have non-organical or cybernetical bodies. They may live in another environment (biosphere?) - using for breathe metan or something like this. They may be telepathical beings and use humans as slaves, staying in his own ship. They can just make global "Exterminatus", killing ALL terran lifeforms
