"Ancient aliens" would definitely win me a game of Don't Get Me Started. And I'd get started with how it's all Carl Sagan's fault.

And I'm so conflicted because Stargate is one of my favorite franchises and is completely based on that racist bullshit. As is Battlestar Galactica. And Pumaman. And probably a lot of Star Trek episodes. Including the really racist one where Space Africa tried to buy Tasha Yar.

BTW if you like that stuff check out Miniminuteman or Decoding the Unknown on YT. They're totally googledebonkers.

(And also, don't get me started on Paul Bennewitz.)
