[Nils Jacob Holt Hanssen]

I feel that I have outgrown the alien-of-the-week mentality. I am much more interested in the mysteries of outer space and the universe than I am seeing cowboy and Indian fights between space ships.

I say “thank you” to both. Well, not the cowboys and Indians in space thing. But alien-of-the-week, done well, can have its merits. STAR TREK – probably the epitome of alien-of-the-week-ness – did it often to say something meaningful about a cultural or philosophical subject, and as a parable for current-day issues. Not that they were always successful, though.

But the mysteries of outer space and the universe? Yes, please – that, too. 🙂
