What To Do

If aliens land on earth, whether peaceful or not, things have changed forever. Not only are massive questions answered and mysteries solved, humans will have to live in a radically changed reality. The trauma caused by aliens landing on Earth will be massive. Some people will flee to the hills to hide in bunkers. Some people will probably cause self harm or deletion. Some people will change faith. Others will demand the aliens go home.

When aliens land on Earth, will it be permanent? Some movies have tried to deal with this scenario. Whether the aliens will interact with humans in many ways, such as “Alien Nation”. Or remain isolated in a form of ghetto, such as “District 9”. Aliens permanently living on Earth will have to be dealt with by governments. The people will either have to have a say or be dictated to.

How broad will interaction be? Depending on how massive the permanent alien inhabitation is, and how government controls the interaction it can be minimum or large scale. Social media alone could allow a resident alien to diseminate life in the alien reservation. Alien influencers could create an odd cultural concept.

If aliens land on earth and it is a diplomatic mission, then the government will take over. Embassies might be established. Technological and cultural exchanges arranged. Peaceful transitions can begin. With the more controlled diplomacy happening, there maybe some accusations of cover ups. Conspiracy theories and other ideas would flourish. There are plenty of conspiracy theories around UFOs, now if aliens actually did exist, imagine how much more the theories would flourish?

For the vast majority of humans, the reality will change, but life will not. People will still get up in the morning, go to school, go to work, and live life unaffected. Which is probably the wisest course. Unless some alien decides to cut ahead of you in the fast food line, then it could get ugly.

Hard media is the best way to go. You have a physical copy of the shows you love to watch, and you can watch them at your liesure. Unfortunately streaming companies such as NetFlix and Hulu seem to no longer offer DVD or Blu-Ray sets of their most current seasons.

When Stranger Things came out, I was aware of the series, and actually curious, but I was not ordering NetFlix to watch the series. If I did join NetFlix, I could have also watched the last two seasons of Orange is the New Black. Since I stopped subscribing to NetFlix after OitNB season 5 came out. This became a moot point, when Walmart came out with a complete Orange is the New Black DVD set, which I purchased. Now I am slowly watching the series. No binge watch of half the season one day, then finish the next day.

I purchased the first two seasons of Stanger Things on DVD. Watched them with some glee. Being a child in the 1980s era, and a player of Dungeons and Dragons, I knew how awesome growing up in that time frame was. I also knew what being an outcast in that era entailed. The Duffer Brothers capture that perfectly.

Then season 3 came out, no DVD set. Season 4 came out, no DVD set of Season 3 yet. Now season 5 is coming out, no DVD set of 3 or 4. I understand streaming services holding back on DVD sets of original shows. Those streaming services want you to order the service. Disney is doing this with all the Star Wars related shows, but I am done with Star Wars since the last three movies came out. Stranger Things on the other hand, I do want to watch the show. But, I feel NetFlix has nothing else to offer. I am not someone whom orders a service, watches what I want, then cancels. I thought about ordering HBO thru Hulu to watch the Game of Thrones spin off, House of Dragons. But, HBO has put out a Blu-Ray and DVD set of the first season. Because HBO knows that there are fans of certain shows whom buy DVD or Blu-Ray sets. Those fans make the one time investment. I watched the entire Game of Thrones series on DVD. I watched Sopranos on DVD, and I watched Entourage on Blu-Ray.

I am wondering, is holding out hope for Stranger Things seasons 3 and 4 to come out on DVD a fruitless endeavor? If season 5 comes out, will Netflix wait a year, and make a deal with Target to produce a complete series set? Orange is the New Black ended 4 years ago, and it took that long for Walmart to make a deal and release a complete series set. Will it be another 5 years for Stranger Things to come out completely on DVD?

DVD sets are still selling well. The younger generations are realizing streaming is not controllable by them. The streaming service controls what it puts out. The producer of the series can digitally change things. What you saw the first time might be completely different the next time. Even with rereleases of DVD sets, there have been edits. Simpsons is a good example. The original sets contained episodes that were now deemed, unacceptable to today’s audience. Current DVD or Blu-Ray releases do not have those.

Sunday Fun Day

March 12th, 2023 by

New comic and video. Also, this weekend was a bit of a disappointment. Friday was shoveling and clearing wet heavy snow. Saturday, I sat down to watch “Venture Bros.” on Hulu. Part of my Saturday morning cartoon ritual, and found out, Hulu no longer streams this great cartoon. I have to get HBO Max if I want to watch it. I thought about buying physical media, the only problem, once I buy DVDs or Blu-Rays, I never watch them. I have half a dozen DVDs and series on DVDs in a pile waiting to be watched. Streaming is convenient, but also a problem. Physical backups, even if unwatched are your’s to keep. Finally, Sunday at 2AM Daylight Savings Time. Hopefully Congress does something about this.
