I gather he's a pretty young kid. I'm surprised my own
son didn't flip out at that but I think he has become
hardened in the last year or so and only occasionally
has that kind of fear anymore. I don't know whether to
be happy or sad about that.

I know what you mean - the kid was kind of like Data
Jr. I got this feeling that they had come up with this
pretty good idea for a story, but didn't know how to
end it, so they came up with this alien thing after a
thousand years pass by with the kid just staring at
this mother figure/blue fairy (what about rust and so
on? yeesh!) (Who was "telling" the story? I gather it
was one of the aliens - but why? and for whom?
