[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 4795222, member: 14159"] IIRC there was a subplot about that in an episode of Babylon 5. It's where it was established that the Vree are the "Grey Aliens." I thought it was one of the more subtle ironies of the show that the main human concept of extraterrestrial life for decades is a minor player, at best, on the galactic scene. Then again, what SETI said about reception is the answer to the Fermi Paradox. Even though most answers to the Drake Equation state that extraterrestrial life should be fairly common, we might not hear it because frankly we can't hear their comn chatter over the background noise. As for the show (Life After People), I found it very depressing. Seeing cities crumble, monuments collapse, and almost every sign of everything humans have ever done on Earth be erased after only a few centuries isn't exactly "feel good" TV. I stumbled across an episode while channel surfing with my wife while we were looking for "cuddle up and relax" type TV, since I'm a big History Channel fan I thought this would be good, comfy TV. Uh, no. After about 15 minutes of watching cities crumble and the remains of civilization turn to dust we changed the channel with extreme rapidity. [/QUOTE]
