Ancient Aliens

You don't even know what some of the suppositions are. You are simply writing them off. Obviously there are things that are far fetched, I have no misgivings about that, but for you to try and tell me that it is all ridiculous when you haven't even been privy to the subject matter is ignorant. You're turning this into an argument against anything but mainstream accepted theories on Archaeology and The History Channel's methods for producing a TV series. If you want to talk about a specific theory that is mentioned, then lets discuss, but to just roundly reject all ideas presented from a specific viewpoint is very obtuse.

All right, how about this. Tell me one of them and we'll discuss it.

So, you want me to spoon feed you the material so you can heroically and triumphantly shoot it down. Come on. If you haven't seen it, and have no intention in having civil discourse on it, then drop it. I'm sure you're a very intelligent person, I can tell from many of your other posts, but I'm not going to sit here and play devil's advocate and argue that some of the theories are plausible, just so you can quote whatever the popular theory is, and tell me how absurd it is that I even entertain the possibilities just so you can stroke your ego.

If presented properly, then there's no reason I wouldn't engage in "civil discourse." The problem is, most of the "theories" presented (actually more along the lines of hypotheses since there often seems to be little to no science behind them) have no basis in fact, only supposition. Oftentimes, the base is "we can't explain it, so it must be alien help." "It" being something like you mentioned, construction of a structure with means unknown currently to the modern age. With this base, the people in the shows try to fit everything into this alien mold, simple logic be damned.

And using the term "popular theory" just isn't the right way to think. You need to think more along the lines of "accepted theory." Accepted because the mounds of evidence suggest a certain thing. To change accepted theory, there needs to be larger mound of evidence to suggest otherwise. An example of this recently is the thoughts on what groups migrated to the Americas first and how far each group traveled and who modern Native Americans ancestors really are. There is nothing in scientific magazines/journals that would suggest anything of that nature in regards to how ancient civilizations built their structures.
 
I love the show as well. I've always been an alien junkie. Those that are cracking jokes about it know nothing. Some of things these ancient people did, couldn't not be done today. How the hell did they move 60 ton carved stones stories high? If you want to watch some good alien stuff, google Phil Schneider. Crazy stuff. I'm not sure if I completely buy into like the OP said, but it's very interesting.

I don't know about Aliens coming back.....or a staged alien invasion like some people think....but it's hard for me to believe that nothing will happen on that day. I would guess at the very least we are going to see multiple big terrorist attacks or something of that sort.

Doubt it.... maybe in Israel... because although its essentially a mythical creature... the looneys are gonna have the US on patrol, I imagine you wont hear them shut up from 6 months before (at least election season won't be so unbearable)
But **** if some **** goes down.... I'll probably become a believer real quick (rather than some middle ground *******)
