Robbie GrantWell, that's *my* thoughts in a nutshell really....
Of course it's vacuous. That *is* my point. Saying that a plot device cannot be used in a sci-fi movie because it's "unnecessary" is simply ludicrous.
Of course, I do realise that what you're saying is that an
alternate lifecycle is superfluous, and raises the alien above a merely very nasty creature to near god-like stature in its adaptability, but I don't agree (hmmm... there's shock...). There are creatures in this world that have more than one mode of reproduction (although, no, I can't actually think of any, not being a biologist),Didn't my post about the frogs that can spontaneously cyhange sex if there is a dearth of males make it through here???
Going looking to repost if neccessary....
