StarTreks perception of alien life forms is dare I say wrong

[138 Scourge]

Things we will never know ever: Did Spock's parents have that kind if thing happening? Because different-colored blood indicates a pretty dramatic difference in body chemistry, but apparently a human and a Vulcan can reproduce pretty easily.

But you know, its not even a thing that bothers me about the show. Not a complaint, more of a good-natured ribbing.

Even though Star Trek did come up with a few explanations of why all aliens from different planets all look almost the same,with about 5% differences in the facial areas-------> Realistically this doesn't make sense,As most know that each planets/galaxies atmospheres,weather & conditions alter the life species on each planet/galaxy.

Even if it were REALISTICALLY possible that some alien species or meterorites/asteriods seeding all the planets in the universe with similar DNA for the humanoids,animals,plants,insects,fish,etc... Science has showed us that each galaxy full of planets have different weather,atmophere & conditions that force the life forms to adapt/evolve to their surrondings.

If their are any humanoid type aliens on other planets in the galaxies/universe,I sincerly doubt they'd look 95% like the earth human's with only 5% differences being in the facial area or different skin color.

We've all seen the Roswell grey aliens,even though they have the humanoid shape. they look more than 70% different than earth humans.----> This right here is REALISTICALLY what we can expect aliens who have the humanoid form to look like.

Various Scientist are now saying that Bigfoot might be a Alien species from another planet/Galaxy. This right here is what we can also expect aliens who have the humanoid form to look like from other planets/galaxies. Bigfoots thick fur on his humanoid form could have evoloved/adapted to blend in with his possible colder planets temperatures. Most scientist believe human's evolved from apes,so having bigfoot with thick fur come from another planet/galaxy,isn't as far fetched nor un-realistic.

The reasons why most scientist believe,if their's life on other planets in the universe,it has to be primarily insects. this is because insects have been around before the dinosaurs on earth. Insects are known to survive & adapt to their surrondings. most insects didn't go extinct like other life forms on earth because they can survive through any disaster.

That's certainly true of Earth, seeing how plants and animals have adapted and evolved differently to suit the various environments our own planet has to offer. You're right that life would evolve differently on any other planet to suit its own unique environment. But it should also be noted that as far as science has been able to show thus far, life can only exist on planets that are similar to Earth-like conditions. Like moderate temperatures where liquid water can exist.

I wouldn't go that far to say those are realistically what we could expect humanoid aliens to look like. Those are still just a work of science-fiction. But yeah, the chances of an alien race evolving to look so similar to humans is extremely improbable.

It's all unrealistic. That's why it's called science FICTION.

Please lets try to get this thread back on-topic,

enough of the "it's science fiction",what do you expect comments...

The purpose of this thread is to discuss Gene Roddenberry's & some of those involved with star trek's narrow view of "ACTUALLY" thinking that all humanoid life in the universe "MUST" look 95% like earth humans,with only 5% differences being in the facial areas,like either pointy ears,fanged teeth,ridges in the forehead,skin color,etc...

In another attempt to bring this thread back on topic. The Aliens in those Sigourney Weaver "Aliens movies is perhaps another realistic view of what we can expect Aliens from another planet to look like. if one believe asteriods/comets/metorites seeded the unive with DNA,Then perhaps this planet warped the humanoid DNA to suit it's planet conditions. Insect like humanoids probably evolved on this planet to adapt & survive on the planets conditions.

The reason why some scientist believe if their's life out their on planets in the universe. it's gotta be primarily insect species. is due to insects being able to survive,adapt & evolve in the most harshest climates,planet conditions & disasters.

The look of the aliens in Star Trek isn't the result of a "narrow view" in the least, nor were they thinking that humanoid life must look like humans. What you need to keep in mind is that television series only have so much of a budget to work with, and when Star Trek began in the 60's, they really didn't have that much to work with in terms of a budget or special effects. The Klingon's didn't even get the forehead ridges until they began making movies. The original series Klingon's had the actors simply wearing shoe polish and some extra hair glued onto their faces. But they did what they could with what they had to show the audience that these characters aren't supposed to be human. And a lot of science-fiction shows have aliens that look a lot like humans. There is only so much you can do with actors who are obviously going to be human. It's not just Star Trek.

Well those aliens are xenomorphs. They take on different characteristics based on whatever host the "facehugger" stage implants an embryo in. And I can't say I'd really call that a realist view of aliens. They were conceived to be monsters for a horror film, so a lot of their biology really doesn't make sense realistically. Having a secondary mouth on their tongue? Or acid blood?
