So I've been looking around on various Aliens information sites, some of them roleplaying, some of them not, and many of them mention the Arcturians, those creatures briefly mentioned while our old pals on the Sulaco were having breakfast. Now, the real interesting part is that they're described pretty consistently across multiple sites as blind, subteranean humanoid mole people with an insect-like society.
Now, where the hell did this idea come from? Frost and Spunkmeyer were talking about enjoying the boinking of these critters, and I'm having a hard time imagining the marines crawling down into the tunnels to rape some barely-sentient colonist-hating cave people.
Granted, the movie doesn't go into much detail, not mention whether the Arcturians are even extraterrestrials. For all we know, the planet could be just be home to some Earthly colonists with a reputation for unusually sexy women (and girly men) or a home of major android production (and therefore a high population of sex synths).
What do you guys think?
