re: #78 Dr Lizardo

On the subject of sci-fi, a student of mine here just got done watching District 9 (I recommended it to her) and now she has questions.

“So, will they come back to take all the others back home? Or will they come back to Earth to kill us all for treating them so badly?”

To which I replied, “That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? And it’s left entirely up to you.”

Open endings, done well, are great storytelling, but not everyone is comfortable with not having an ending handed to them.
