Random Comment: Any thoughts on the timing of the December 2023 Langley AFB drone swarms and the Chinese Balloon in January 2024? All politics aside, you guys don't spend a lot of time on the idea of foreign nations sending unknown tech over our assets, and it seems pretty important to any kind of fact finding around UAP... I'd love to hear your thoughts on that correlation... That comment about "Someone made a new propulsion system that will change teh world..." seems more like a human UAP than an alien one...
There's a fairly plausible reason behind why all the aliens in Star Trek are humanoid. The simple fact is, they aren't. There's a ton of non-humanoid species in the Star Trek universe but humans are bipedal, oxygen-breathing, carbon-based life-forms, so we find it a lot easier to interact with other bipedal, oxygen-breathing, carbon-based life-forms. The show focusses on these alien species over others because a) it's cheaper and easier to film, and b) it's easier for the audience to relate to alien species that are similar to ourselves. Beyond that there's a theory (real life, not Star Trek) that most of the intelligent species in the galaxy, and probably the wider universe, are likely at least vaguely humanoid because it's an efficient setup. Aliens will require broadly the same senses that we have to interact with their environments, and keeping them close to the brain makes for faster processing of information. Aliens will likely have legs because they are useful, and biological wheels just don't work. They will likely walk upright because that frees up a set of limbs for carrying tools and resources. They will likely have hands with dextrous fingers, because that is the most efficient way to create and manipulate tools and technology. Evolution tends towards what works stays, and what doesn't work goes; so over time species end up in the most efficient form.
Trek actually has lore about this specifically. There was an ancient race that we call the Progenitors that seeded life across the galaxy so that it would evolve to resemble themselves (humanoid). Thus all those humanoid species including the Klingons, Vulcans/Romulans, etc. including us humans, were all essentially seeded by the same humanoid species. Thus why there are so many humanoids. Of course you're right, not all aliens in the Trek universe are humanoid, and the whole Progenitor thing is merely a lore reason for, as you say, the real world excuse of budgetary and narrative considerations. Of course we all know that in real life everything will eventually return to crab.
I think you should know, I haven't received notifications about anything this channel has posted in over a week.
Why are the videos showing up in my subscription feed. Have they been showing banned or something like that?
I've been finding most of my "sci-fi " themed podcasts etc have been ⚫️ban'd last little while.

I think we have missed a couple of minisodes here.
Sundown town is a place not safe for black people to be out after the sun goes down 😢 😂, lol . Just thought i would chime in on that one time.
So I can see aliens as hot guys with large hands.
