Aliens who can master intergalactic travel can't detect bacteria?


Yeah gonna have to call *beep* on that one. There is nothing out of the ordinary or unique about microorganisms. They are a major stepping stone in the evolution of life and there's no way any alien civilization wouldn't have them (and in this case be aware of them).

The pods were already buried here, though. Bactria evolves over time. Perhaps their plan was based on antiquated data.

So they didn't bother to check the newest microorganisms before beaming down? Not very bright intergalactic aliens eh?

Aliens who've left warships buried in the soil for millions of years never noticed that THE SOIL IS FULL OF BACTERIA?

This is what comes of letting a high school dropout actor interfere with the script.

Well at least these aliens had the ability to open doors.
