Straightforward

In Aleins, "Is it okay to kill the buggers?" is no longer a question for anybody, except Paul Reiser, and he's dead. I love this about this movvie, because it eliminates a lot of pussy possibilities. The question of whether the Other is like ourselves is resolved easily. But what if this is just like a prequel to Ender's Game and the Aliens are the Buggers? Maybe they didn 't know they were tearing us apart so disgustingly. Maybe they thought they were just switching off some communications units and using them for breeding. This is entirely possible. One of my favorite random parts is when one guy calls the Aliens "animals" and then he dies. And then later, the Queen negotiates with Sigourney Weaver through pointing or grunting or whatever. This question of intelligence is important, as is that of volition. The Aliens are scary as fuck, but maybe they're not meaning to be, and maybe they would stop once they know what they're doing to us. But we should still kill them.
