Now, in reality, I like to believe that extra-terrestrial life forms might be a bit nicer than us, but in the context of TSW, the idea puts me more in the mind of planet-eating squids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-22718521497477344442014-11-10T15:18:28.260-06:002014-11-10T15:18:28.260-06:00I was thinking about that as well, though it didn&...I was thinking about that as well, though it didn't creep me out.
