There are as many opinions about what First Contact will be like as there are people pondering it, so approach this as ONE opinion, but it's a good one. Many of us prefer to imagine Them landing on the White House lawn, without any advance brouhaha, but this one goes the SETI route (SETI could well have produced it - they've accepted a lot of funds for a lot of years and yielded ZILCH, leading many to wonder why they exist, so if you swallow this saga, it means they're needed). They receive The Message: We're On The Way! We fuss, we bother, we freak. They arrive. That's all the detail you'll wrestle out of me. It runs on The Science Channel in two episodes, usually run back-to-back, and since The Science Channel creates all of about twelve new hours of programming a year, chances are excellent that a rerun of this is on now as we speak. It's a good watch. And by the way, when first contact happens, whether it's White House lawn, a 'We're On The Way' message, or something else...DON'T freak. First impressions are EVERYTHING.
