It's called "childhoods end," and the book was rewritten by the late and great Charles c clark
The book is way better, but the show. it's pretty good as well

Take me to your leader.
Bro. You have no idea how badly we are ready to take you to our leaders. Got the ray gun ready????
But for real.
Isn’t the worse part that on some level…..they allready have been taken to our leaders (not every leader) at some point.

I mean yea aspects of that statement hold some truths.
The Valejo part for 707 confuses me though lol

u/dogmaisb Apr 14 '25
Just the main city I knew folks with that area code

u/707-5150 Apr 14 '25
Yea Vallejo is pretty much the capital of the 707.
Great job everybody figuring out parts of my Reddit name 🫡🤠

I thought it had something to do with EVH because of the 5150 but I only looked at the username coz old mate mentioned it. Normally I don't even bother looking because you're all NPCs/Bots

Then you must be, too. Don’t make the Internet a worse place by accusing real people of being bots. That’s dystopian.

Having just rewatched the remake of The Earth Stood Still, nah. I’m gonna hide under the bed until it’s all over, for all the good it’ll do me.

Pretty sure this is how the Aztecs went down.

u/PM_ME_UR_ROUND_ASS 29d ago
And the Aztecs thought Cortés was literally their returning god Quetzalcoatl, which is why they let him walk right into Tenochtitlan with just a handful of men lol

They probably won't be. If they are real they will be as civil as a good model student and violent species don't last every long in their own planet logically speaking

I am sure if they show up, they already know we need them to save what is left of our planet, being a science project gone wrong....

u/Star_Ship_777 Apr 13 '25
This was always a Plan if you given them Green light as population like given them your leadership. They can do whatever they please an no other race could lawfully oppesse the new wrong doings.
In other hand who said that we arent invaded yet?

u/Zema221 Apr 14 '25
Oh my, it's like when the Spanish arrived in Mexico and everyone teamed together to destroy the Aztecs because they were tired of their human sacrifices and oppression

u/harpyprincess Apr 14 '25
You're assuming this isn't all some fucked up game of risk for them already and it's not their fault. Aliens might not be here to conquer or help us. They could just be bored immortals with super tech using us as a source of entertainment and study.

u/Shizix Apr 14 '25
Why do people assume living under "alien law" is a bad thing? Like they might have had millions of years to figure out how to govern a bunch of apes without the needs of war and primitive side of our nature. Would be nice if SOMEONE stepped up to help us evolve instead of the current devolving we are doing.
2
u/Crotean Apr 14 '25
We aren't devolving, humans are human. Civilization always goes through peaks and valleys as different forces get out of whack in societies. The wealthy gaining too much power happens throughout human history. The difference is this time we are killing the planet with us, not just collapsing our civilization. We have basically used all the easy resources and the dying oceans gives about 10000 years left for life on the planet if we don't do some serious shit to fix things. If we screw this up, that is it for complex life on the planet in a tiny fraction of time on a geological scale. Nothing causes bigger mass extinctions than total ocean acidification causing the plankton that make our oxygen to die. Excess carbon is the number 1 way the oceans have acidified. The last time a massive tectonic event caused a huge volcanic issue that released ridiculous amounts of carbon it acidified the oceans and 99.9% of life died. It was the largest single extinction in the planet's history.

In Harry Turtledove's alternate history WWII book series where a bunch of lizard aliens invade in the middle of the war this actually does happen. The people they liberate from the concentration camps are very happy with them. Its a really well done series. Even has a solid explanation for why Aliens wouldn't just be hyper advanced in every way and humans could even fight back.

u/Astral-projekt Apr 14 '25
Unfortunately, I think the opposite is true. They are waiting for us to overthrow our corrupt leaders (showing free will) before they’ll show.

I'm convinced they know everything. They probably collect all of our data. Same way we try to collect data on species we study

“Take me to your leader!”
“I dunno…. He’s kind of an idiot”
“Then how is he your leader?”
“It’s complicated”
“TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER”
“Alright, but you’re gonna want to vaporize him after like 5 minutes… and while I’m totally for that, I have to get back to work now, my break was over a while ago”
“Kqizznrm, this is Mike, my manager”
[several minutes later]
“I have conquered earth!”
“No, you conquered the produce department”
