Last Saturday night on a flight of whimsy I settled down with a beer to watch Alien Vs Predator, a film that I had not previously seen.
I was struck however by a logical inconsistency: how do a civilisation of hunters manage to civilise to the point of space travel?
Space travel requires many mundane things such as universities and nerds. This line of thought led me to murky waters. Can you imagine an Predator nerd? With glasses? What about an Predator forklift driver? How does the whole invisibility/cloaking device thing work with hi-viz clothing rules on the worksite?
This is why I don't watch sci-fi anymore.
