We're the house across the street having the rowdy party at 2am that you would like to go over and ask to be quiet but you just heard that glass smash and saw that guy hit the deck , so you leave well alone , we'll have petered out by morning anyway like the dinosaurs did ( got lairy too early on and couldn't play the long game ) 
Just after the apocalypse any survivors will be able to hear lawn mowers off in the distance .

I'm more than hopeful of other life out there, whether bacterial or otherwise. It's arrogant to think of humans as being at the 'top of the tree', and I don't think that way either. I am also not that swayed on humanoid beings, we've adapted for living on this planet, other planets don't have the same make up as ours. We have the moon, the distance from the sun, water, blah blah blah... it's too specific to here (and yes, I'm well aware of water elsewhere and that it is a 'building block'. I just feel that other forms would have evolved in a much different manner.
Yes , there is bound to be something living in some manner out there somewhere , it's a big old backdrop we see at night , pretty depressing to think that we are the only rock capable of thought .
There is a lot of stuff in our own world that requires special equipment to see , that we on a day to day level are completely unaware of . Take away things like time , gravity and the basic building blocks of existence as we know it and there could be things out there we couldn't even comprehend .
The whole humanoid thing is funny , just a way of getting around sci fi when you can shave a guys head and paint him blue . Oh yes this guy is totally from another planet , the pointy ears are a dead give away and he has the English language down to a tee .

Top way of describing of "our place in the wider scheme of things" !
I was thinking along similar lines - the one house in the street totally covered in Christmas lights, where everyone else is a bit embarrassed by the waste of electricity but won't say anything.
Never liked the show.. quite surpising in that I am the right age and grew up in East London . .tintin40":3ijgoj6h said:IDB1":3ijgoj6h said:

For one thing 'this planet of ours' - its not, we are but a small stain on the history of the planet itself and the planet only has to fart and we're gone.
We are such an accident of chemical reactions that it is entirely feasible that the planet is unique and the chances of something else say hello are extremely remote.
'Man' (and women) as a species will only survive if it heads for the stars.
Good sci-fi reading material is the Arthur C. Clarke's last series of books 'Firstborn'. The first book is a little daft but 'Sunstorm' is a proper ripping yarn and gives us a good few pointers as to whats around the corner technology wise. The 3rd and sadly his last book (as far as I'm aware) is quite a lot darker.
