The fear of snakes and spiders is much more culturally specific than universal to mankindBeastro wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 2:37 am It's for that reason why I love the first Alien movie. It is a modern retelling of the ancient story of the dangers of the unknown, how chaos lurks in it, and what happens in your world when chaos embodies itself and comes looking for you. It's no coincidence that the Xenomorph is a very exotic looking dragon, nor that the preceding life stages of it are two of Mankind's biggest phobias, spiders then snakes.

Partly got your wish, John de Lancie has signed up for Picard season 2. (Hopefully gives Picard the means to destroy the JJ verse!)
