Ancient Aliens season 10

release year: 2015
genre: TV documentary (10 episodes)
viewing setting: home streaming 6/18/22 - 6/27/22

synopsis: Aliens might have been involved in our world's history, as can be seen if you look at all the various potential evidence.

impressions: The producers have taken a basic concept (aliens visiting Earth in the past) and explored dozens of ways it could be tied to past and current historical events. Rather than list all of the season's episodes, I'll just point out the ones I found to be the most interesting:

episode 2: NASA's Secret Agenda (possible links between the space program and alien knowledge/technology)

episode 6: The Other Earth (thoughts on colonization of both Earth and other, similar planets)

episode 7: Creatures of the Deep (possible connections between mythical underwater beasts and aliens)

episode 8: Circles From the Sky (everything you ever wanted to know about crop circles)

episode 9: The Alien Wars (ideas about the possibility of warring alien races in and around Earth) (bonus: random footage from the 1980 Battlestar Galactica series appears briefly, twice)

acting: The narration is strong and consistent, and the interviews are always interesting and entertaining.

final word: While some of these ideas may be unlikely or impossible, it's hard to believe that ALL of them are. The guests/speakers aren't asking you to believe what they say - just to think about it with an open mind and do your own thinking. On the flip side, their logic is often the kind that begins a sentence with one direction and finishes it in a completely different one - the transition is subtle, and sometimes they just forge on ahead based on an earlier claim-as-fact that really hasn't been proven to be such. Either way, the show discusses some cool and weird ideas.
