    Dim-bulb aliens make 'Threshold' less than stellar

    http://www.sltrib.com/tv/ci_3115317

    Imagine flying millions of miles to Earth to attack the human race and forgetting to bring the ray gun.
    That's how I feel about the mechanics behind CBS' new science-fiction series, "Threshold," about aliens who travel here to take control of a boatload of humans as they attempt to eventually conquer the planet.
    They arrive ready to take over the world one human at a time, but can't seem to get it done in an efficient or expeditious manner. Somebody call Darth Vader.
    gumboYaYa: you are all beautiful, your words and openness are what make that shine. don't forget how much talent love and beauty you all have.
    so for now, peace love love love more love and happy, and thank you, thank you, thank you
    love Torri

    The series made it pretty clear that the alien invasion has been launched by an unmanned probe. The only "aliens" are partly converted humans. Which raises the question of how the reviewer can miss something so obvious, while chattering about intelligence.

      Reviewers are hired based on their ability to miss important details that are blatently obvious.

      The signal is very viral in its nature. Had it not been discovered so early, it probably would have been out of control by the time people realized something was up. And of course, we wouldn't have a show.
      Cogito ergo dubito.
