So let me get this straight. Two men went to the Utah site and removed the Monolith because they didn't want people going to the site and destroying the Fauna/Flora?

So it was alright for those two men to visit the site. But it was not okay for anyone else to visit the site. Got it.

Diana (Jane Badler) was the head Lizard in the old series. She was pretty ruthless as I remember. Any of them would take care of any rodent problem you would have in your barn, among other things.

Wow, that's some memory. I vaguely remember that show, now that you mention it, but it is mostly purged from my grey matter.

I believe I read it was four. Only two bragged about it though.

And I'm sure if they had to pee while they were there they peed in a cup and drank it so as to not soil the area. I lovingly call these people "tree huggers". Everything they do outside is fine. Nothing you do outside is fine.

A clue? Maybe seeds riding along?

I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords. I will work quite willingly with them, and I'll rat out any of you trouble-makers that offer resistance!

No politics, please.

Ha! I've rewatched all the original Twilight Zone episodes in recent years, so I remember most of them. Even so, I wouldn't have picked up on the reference in Naked Gun 2 1/2.

On a related note, "Airplane!" is on Monday. I don't think I've seen that movie since high school.
