[Ed Anger]

I can make up a story about space Hitler.

You have to taint everything, don't you?

Goddammit.

[Neil]

Biotechnology?  Played out.

Well the Cylons are a machine race, so the Aliens need to be distinctive to them and the Humans.

You can create distinctive aliens without having weird-ass technology bases.  Look at Star Trek.

You're just pissed because you got one-upped.

The aliens were distinguished by having different foreheads.  Not gonna be the model for a creative showrunner these days.

I was thinking more in terms of their personalities.  The Klingons, for example.

I'm thinking they'd be Reptillian as a shoutout to the Cylon's creators in the original series.

[Siege]

We need giant amebas like in "The Course of Empire".

One wonders how something like that would evolve.

OK, so now you have a physical look, but what makes them interesting?

Maybe something like a Jellyfish?  A Jellyfish isn't really an Amoeba, but it kind of looks like one.

I would prefer something like the aliens from Independence Day.
To me they were the most alien looking ones, because of all the tentacles and bio-armor.
Also, the aliens from Returner were awesome.

Perhaps, but how does it get into space?  Sure, you can have life in space, but complex life would be a little difficult.

[Habbaku]

Sucks.

How would your battlestar galactica look then?

I was clearly riffing on Brain's question about the map, dufus.
