![]() ![]() In fact though it's the Christian religion that is used here, all religions on Earth don't take into account other beings on other worlds. But how do you explain religion to beings way in advance of your development. First is Fritz Weaver as Father Peregrine who together with Roddy McDowall has come to bring Christianity to Mars. ![]() We'll meet both kinds in The Martian Chronicles. I can see where Gene Roddenberry got his ideas for the Talosian characters who can change appearance and for the incorporeal Organians for Star Trek. He finds a presumably dead planet, but are these Martians really dead? The 'Martians' we do meet seem to be at all levels of human development and way in advance of us on Earth. After a couple of failed expeditions that did not return to Earth from Mars in what was projected in 1980 to be the last dozen years or so right now, Rock Hudson the head of NASA heads the third expedition himself. It certainly wasn't like Star Trek's First Contact to say the least. Probably another chapter might have been needed for The Martian Chronicles mini-series to have gotten in all of what Ray Bradbury had to say in his epic science fiction work about first contact. ![]()
