Why the fuck can't /tv/ come up with anything remotely as good as pic related?
The sound effects, the casting, the makeup, everything is fucking perfect
Holy fuck, this shit is like 30 years old.
because it would be full of SJW garbage and "muh refugees" nowadays
they'd probably give the lizard people white kids to eat on top of everything else
shit still holds up. that first reveal of Diana 10/10
They did a remake a few years ago and it was shit

OP here. Forgot about the fucking alien voices.
This show is so fucking unique. too bad they decided to kill it with a failed tv series.
You look up and see this wat do

Scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. Re-watched it a couple of years ago. For a television sci-fi miniseries from that time, it's good. I'm surprised it was even made.
Can't believe they ended on a cliffhanger. I'm still pissed about it, 30 years later. Fuck you NBC
I think it's such an appealing story, because it develops characters very well.
Something nowadays stories don't do very well.
You could think it's because of muh sf, but the characters and their struggles is what makes it so good.
based Willie is my friend
Reminder that this show is based on reality

Pretend it's a helicopter and start shitposting on /x/ a few years again.
Was spooky as a kid, and it still is. Although the last time I watched it, I laughed at the alien being born.

Literal every science fiction show in the history of television deals with social issues. The only difference is now low IQ kids like you have been given a voice on the internet.

Nowadays, if someone has an idea for a miniseries, networks just want to turn it into a show. So what if the story ends after 12 or 24 episodes? We're here to make BANK, senpai.

There are some pretty good miniseries (nowadays they call them "Limited Series") on Netflix/Hulu, but you gotta look for them. I can't think of any sci-fi ones, but maybe some fellow anons can jump in.
