doomed the moment his species got creative and tried to wipe out humanity. I suspect this would be the fate of any shapeshifter (for lack of a better word) who visited and/or invaded Earth. This story has a great point-of-view mechanic. Nice!   Edit = this story captured the inane conversations that we would see if a raiding party were to visit Earth (cable news networks?!

Great story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It was extremely well done. Loved the Perry Mason/Columbo/Law&Order trope done with aliens.  It was FUN!
