Contest: Alien or Plastic? You Decide.
The My-Alien-Is-Faker-Than-Your-Alien Contest
"The Corbomite Maneuver", the next episode in my Star Trek recap, has what has got to be the fakest looking alien I have ever seen in my entire life - and yet the crew of the Enterprise is taken in by it. (They apparently don't watch a lot of low-budget television in their spare time.)
Therefore, I challenge you to find me a faker-looking alien. The alien must be from a movie or television show and must have been perceived as "real" by other characters within that show. (The alien from this Star Trek episode obviously does not count. Other Star Trek episodes are fair game, though.)
The winner gets their choice of a cross-stitch bookmark or, as the holidays are approaching, a cross-stitch ornament, featuring your favorite sci-fi character.
Please post your fake-looking alien pictures as comments in this post. I'd prefer you embed the images, but links are fine, too. Please provide the source for the alien (that is, the television show or movie), and respect the original locations and do not hotlink.
The contest will remain open until I actually post the recap to "The Carbonite Maneuver", which will happen after Thanksgiving Day, and I'll announce the winner (if there is one) in that post.
The Fake Looking Alien By Which Your Aliens Will Be Judged
Good luck!
