Interesting idea. I really hope you're wrong. Having it be Kirk's stepbrother, doing all this for a grudge... blech.

Good point. And contact could take that long, considering the scale of the galaxy, even if it's full of life.

Simpsons did it!

This was why I clicked on the article.

There is absolutely no way of even guessing such a thing. Even if intelligence AND interstellar space travel is rare, something could randomly find us tomorrow.

BSG didn't solve crap.

Nolan had Batman fight Scarecrow, Ra's al Ghul, Joker (once!) and Bane & Talia, before BATMAN RETIRED. We love these heroes for being timeless, fighting a never-ending battle, and having a huge…
