Did Species 8472 have a name?

The 8472 aliens had three legs.

I do not want to be involved in a piss contest for no good reasons, or to derail an honest thread. If you think it is funny, well, think again.

^^ Alternatively, you might try growing up. Or getting a sense of humour. It's obviously a sensitive matter for you though, so best to let it drop.

I agree, it's sensitive matter: it's funny how vilification has this effect. I suppose you just love when someone came out of the blue and insult your particular nation or ethnic group. A real kick. If I recall correctly, this kind of "jokes" were fashionable back in grade school. But, I have to grow up.

Maybe I ovvereacted, given the obtusity of the fist comment. But I bet very few would have done differently in my shoes.

If that was the intention, then kudos to you. But it was not obvious to me on the first reading.

^^ I chose a picture where it blatently WASN'T a dive

No worries, maybe I should have been clearer.

Moving on.

I think it would have been interesting if they had revealed their culture name in 'In the Flesh.'
