Hmmm ... maybe John Varley has Alien connections.

Boy, do you have false memories developing here.

"KLATU BARADA NIKTO" is what the alien guy tells the pretty girl to say to the deadly robot so the robot will bring the alien guy back to life instead of attacking or whatever the robot was going to do if the pretty girl didn't say it.

That is, unless I'm developing false memories.


Another thing you don't want to hear:

Interesting little animals. No sign of intelligent life though. They don't have true language and they build stuff but it isn't really technology.

"Ok our first rule is - No Pizza! Ever!"

"Rule number 2 - No more automobiles. From now on if you want to go anywhere you must ride on one of our spikebacked electrolizards."

"Rule number 3 - Anybody that violates rules 1 or 2 will spend a sleepless lunar cycle watching movies that star Madonna."

This will only hurt for a few years....

We are from Aliens For Earthling Rights. The conditions you have been living under have been appalling, but don't fear, we're going to take you to our pound.

Do you honestly believe that if we wanted DNA we would take it from Earthlings *laughs*

*Looks around* well you haven't been very busy have you?

I'm hear to warn you that our leader has just crashed into some of your unregistered space junk and he's really p*ssed off.

"So this is planet Hooston."

"Hey, I'm just back to retrieve the plutonium sample I left in your refrigerator last week."

"Why...yes...thank...you...I...would...like...a... knuckle...sandwich."

"Yosemite Saaaam, Of Outer [kaboom] -- space?"

"Oooooo! I knew I shouldn't have sent ZX13; he's the stupidest robot I've got!"

"And don't even think of planting a bug in the Mac OS of our mothership's computers. We saw Independence Day and switched to Linux."

"Well, let's put it this way: The Force is definitely NOT with you losers."

"Please excuse, only us want 0.778 and Capitan Janeway. We go back to Delta Quadrant then."

"Thus saith the Lord: Pro wrestling is real."

"My client was seriously injured when one of the Saturn V third stages you negligently left in solar orbit hit his spacecraft. Here is my card and please have your insurance adjuster contact me immediately."

"Are all your astronomers very, very, very tiny or do they only look that way from our side of the telescope?"

Nope, you remember good. "KLATU" was the deadly robots name - "BARADA NIKTO" seemed to iclude, "don't kill, pick up the pretty girl (Patricia O'Neal, if I remember correctly) & put her in my saucer, I'm dead in a prison cell, come get me, bring me back to life, etc., etc., etc.")
Michael Rennie could say a lot with only 2 words!

"pick up the pretty girl, don't worry, she'll faint and be out until you get me and bring me back to life, then she'll conveniently wake up" :wink:

Close. Gort was the robot's name. Klaatu was the alien guy's name. So the message was either something about Klaatu, or something along the lines of "Klaatu says such-and-such."

O.K., O.K, it was a long time ago that I last saw the movie and I'm sure you're right. Time to see the movie again. Old age does that to you.

Not getting this. Sounds like something from some game with a name that I have forgotten.

"By your command" - the ritual reply of the Cylons, from Battlestar Galactica. It was a TV series, not a game.

Can't believe no one has mentioned this yet...

Arrrgh! I mean... it was very...good. I liked it...

Whats it from? :-?

Aiieeee NOOOOO! Not that! Anything but that! Please, God, not Vogon poetry*!!!


*Vogon poetry is, of course, the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in my Armpit One Midsummer Morning", four of his audience died of internal haemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off.

Grunthos is reported to have been 'disappointed' by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve-book epic entitled "My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles" when his own major intestine, in a desperate bid to save life and civilization, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Redbridge, Essex, England, in the destruction of the planet Earth.
-Douglas Adams
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

"I've lost my phone number. Can I have yours?"

"We just wanted to tell the Alaskan Assassin that 70% of this galaxy has now heard about him, along with 15% of the Andromeda galaxy. And his pick-up lines are still considered the most lame ever heard." *


* I sure hope someone else on the BABB has heard about the Alaskan Assassin!

Sorry 'bout that. I forget that not all of our "high-quality" TV reruns like Battlestar Galactica have made it to Oz yet. Thank you informant. "zhroom" is the only onomatopoeia I can think of for the sound you hear as their one little LED eyeball sweeps back and forth.

Of all aliens in the vast sci-fi pantheon, you do not want Cylons dropping in on you, since they are machines with the sole mission of exterminating all humans, which they very nearly do, but a few escape and go in search of Earth. Most critics loathed BG, but us preteens couldn't get enough of it. BG was a Don Bellisario series (others: JAG, The A-Team, Black Sheep Squadron, Magnum PI) and though I try not to read too much into TV shows designed primarily to sell toys, it is on some level a kind of counterrevolutionary retort to the 1970s post-Vietnam atmosphere. The F-16, officially nicknamed Fighting Falcon, is better known in the real USAF community as the Viper in homage to the carrier-based fighter spacecraft of BG, since they both debuted at about the same time. The Sci-Fi Channel is going to air a remake 4-hour miniseries later this year but the buzz among the hardcore BG fans is already not good. And yes, there will be a video game!
