Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] Humanity finally lands on Mars and to their horror, they discover dinosaur fossils. It turns out that the dinosaurs evolved into an intelligent spacefaring race that left Earth 65 million years ago. by Palpatine88888

I'm currently building an entire universe (just check my recent posts, most of them should be linked together) that features space traveling lizards (and others; don't know why I keep telling stories about the lizards). When changing the conclusion, I could use this to initiate the first contact between my galactic civilizations and humanity...

Yes, I remember watching that episode. But my idea is another one :-)

I think they kinda screwed up by letting that storyline dead end.

to extend that idea didn't fit into the structure of a tv show of that time. They had a main plot they kept working on, each episode had a sub-plot, and for special events like the season ending, they split the story into two episodes to keep as many viewers as possible. But a second main plot, covering multiple episodes, maybe an entire season, just didn't work, the episodes had to be enjoyable even if someone missed the last five ones.

considering that, they delivered the best they could, I guess
