Review of Ancient Aliens

Ancient Aliens has got to be the ultimate conspiracy theory series, heh heh...and I don't really care, since it is a well presented series, While there is usually a tiny amount of fact to support their agenda, the premise is always that anything and everything that ever happened on our planet, was connected to visitors from outer space...in this series, it is all about presentation...if you don't pay attention to what is said, you could easuly be entrapped; which is exactly what the producers want you to do, get trapped. Some of the episodes reference scientific investigations as a backdrop; but then the presenters physically twist the research into huge pretzels, turning interesting theories into massive conspiracies. And 'often' the presenters drift into outright lying to keep your attention. George Tsoukalos is quite handy at telling outright lies with 'vim and vigor'...you gotta love a guy who is so passionate with his time on screen...

Because the show is presented with a "what if" flavor, you find yourself thinking more than normal, whether to find fault or to wonder if there isn't some basic truth to the claims...

And, occasionally there are some pretty inexplicable events in our history, that have been pretty hard to cover in the blanket of conventional logic...so there's that...

All in all, Ancient Aliens is a fun show to watch...just be sure to keep common sense up front in your thinking, heh heh...
