Indeed

Really pisses me off when they do that

Speaking of aliens, you know the 26th is national Alien (as in Xenomorph) Day?

Ross is the beta, not the alpha. Humans go by ranks rather than sizes.

That's really interesting. I wonder if you're right.

Even if they did have conflict amongst them, why would they go to a race that also has conflict among them?

It's good to have friends. Especially when you're in the middle of or expecting a fight.

Either that or they're gonna be animals

I think animals are highly likely, but I do imagine that any intelligent/civilized alien races would at least resemble humanoid forms: large brain, bipedal, complex communication systems.
I could be way off, but it's just what I would expect.

I think they'd be insectoid or reptilian in appearance

Well I mean there's some alien " mythology " out there
Some that I like to read state there's the annunaki and they created humanity and we like of look like them except they look more how I would imagine someone from the Byzantine
