The crew is hunted down, and some are killed, by an alien named Calvin. And, yes, the life-form in question really is named Calvin (some kids at this elementary school got to pick it). Though, let's be fair, the moment Calvin latches on to my arm like he did to Hugh (and proceeded to break it), my survival instincts would kick in. If I was one of the international space crew, I suppose I would have been one of the first to die, given, again, my predilection for assessing the situation before making a decision. I suppose that's relevant to the film that we're talking about here. I don't want to make an impulsive decision based on what my instincts tell me because, it could very well turn out that those instincts are wrong. Though, of course, I've always been an ask questions first kind of guy. But it is still something to think about. This is just me speculating based on films I've seen, which is obviously not real life. I mean, if you really think about it, if we discover life on other planets, especially if it's as complex as human beings are and not, necessarily, a single-celled organism, who knows whether they'd be hostile to us or not. And, I suppose, there's a kernel of truth to that. But, in these cases, it's always framed as a 'be careful what you wish for' type of scenario. Of course, this is a theme that has been explored in numerous other films. That's neither here nor there, the point is that, again, discovering life on other planets would be a monumental accomplishment. It's not that I would want to be immortal, it's just that I wish humanity could extend their lifespan exponentially than it currently sits at. When I think of all the advancements in technology, science, society, etc, etc, that I'm gonna miss due to the fact that this stupid body is only good for, at the most (in my case at least), 80 years is one of the greatest disappointments of my life. I've always been of the belief that I would love to be able to live to be, even, 10,000 years old. Even discovering that, as minor as it might seem to some of the more uneducated sectors of the world, would be the greatest accomplishment of humanity's short, in the grand scheme of things of how long the universe has been around, existence. Epatha Merkerson as Lt.I've often wondered how humanity would react to the knowledge of there being life on other planets, even if that life-form is a single-cell organism.

But the minute she walked into the precinct, you knew she garnered serious respect from the guys that worked for her.” When you saw her, she literally looked like, someone’s aunt or sweet mother. There was one lieutenant who was so cool. And the interesting thing is when I started, I believe there were only five in Manhattan. “I had the opportunity to meet a couple of female lieutenants. I mean, literally, I got the job on a Friday and I started working on a Monday,” she said. Epatha Merkerson spoke with Fresh Air Interviews for NPR in 2006 about her character: “ You know, the interesting thing is I knew nothing and it happened quickly. Epatha Merkerson as Lieutenant Anita Van Buren, the late Jerry Orbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe and the late Steven Hill as DA Adam Schiff were a few of the faces you could expect to see rather consistently. Actors such as Sam Waterston in his role as Executive ADA Jack McCoy, S.
