Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

David Laughlin eventually catches up with Veronica Neary to tell her that Roy is gone and they have a fling.[]

Sorry, Bob Balaban and Teri Garr have a date in Ghost World. Had to connect it up in my head somehow...

The aliens offered several choices for meeting sites - that's why the people in India were singing a slightly different song.[]

America obviously won the bidding process.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is set in the same universe as Falling Skies.[]

The tall aliens from the series look like the tall aliens from the movie. After the aliens had the peaceful meeting in Wyoming in the 1970's, they backed off and planned their invasion. (And Steven Spielberg is involved with both works, too!)

  • The five planes returned at the beginning of the movie had been missing in 1945, and they were returned 30 years later in the 1970's. The events of Falling Skies happen 30 years after the 1970's. Looks like that's the travel time to their homeworld.

Despite the benign contact, the CE 3 aliens left our world open for the Predator race.[]

For all their ginormous gee-whiz mothership, these aliens are probably not the only intelligent species out there. They may have shared their knowledge about Earth people and their habits with other races, possibly thru trade or politics, and the more aggressive Predator race decided to come check out just what we were made of. Certainly the CE 3 s would have noted the many major wars such as Korea, Vietnam, etc.; some of their "captives" included the Flight 19 pilots, who would have told them plenty about their training. More disturbingly, it is not impossible for a few of the CE 3 aliens to express a growing dismay over the destructive nature of Earthlings, and the risk we might pose if we ever fully explore space. One may have let slip the Earth mission to the Predator race, letting them know just where we were and what to expect. The Earthlings taken onto the ship might have ended up having to spar with young Predator warriors.

This was supposed to be the original opening to Men in Black[]

The story in how the MIB was formed was as shown: Federal Agents, Astronomers and One dumb kid meeting Aliens. The Army are the federal agents, Claude is the Astronomer and Roy Neary was the dumb kid.

  • Only the movie takes place in Present Day 1977 while the MIB was founded in 1968.
