This story had some interesting themes. The little guy versus big government, pressing on after multiple rejections, and sticking it to the man. However, it didn't really strike a chord with me. The characters were interesting and well developed and the point of the story was good, but it just was lacking. When the story finally got interesting (Stu contacting the aliens), it ended. I don't want to start a sci-fi or not debate. This certainly was sci-fi by the broad definition Steve laid out a few episodes ago. However, I like a little more science in my sci-fi. I wanted to meet the little green men and figure out where they were from.
Overall, a decent story that I didn't care for.
