NChick (VO): Low budget, high budget, success, epic-est of failures, you name it, this is a premise that does not look to ever be going away.

NChick: Why is that? Well, as a concept, 'alien' is a super-broad one.Aliens have a wider emboidment of our hopes, our fears, our self-defined relationship to the other than any other paranormal, magical, sci-fi concept. In short, aliens have a lot of versatility just as a basic premise.
