Radio version of War of the Worlds and the various fabulous historical sources on same that nickless sent me
I have a couple more things to send, but via snail mail since they're photocopies of articles. One is from a Social Studies teaching ideas magazine that has the same authentic texts I sent and some other info (can't remember exactly what at the moment) and the other is - ironically - a Q&A column from the paper where someone asked about the name of a tv movie re: alien invasion that freaked people out. The interesting bit? It was in the early/mid-90s. Thus counteracting the whole "pffft, people back then were SO naive, nothing like that would POSSIBLY happen nowadays." Because you know someone's going to bring that up. It was in the paper about a week after I sent you everything, so the timing was quite amusing.
As for FS, you could do Nerve/THM, but I honestly don't know what aspect that would focus on. :) And it needs a lot of backstory. A Human Reaction does the whole - well, how-humans-would-react bit, but from the angle of one native saying "dude, they're safe" rather than just "here they are, do we welcome them or attack them?" And while it's definitely not the greatest episode - or really even a GOOD episode - I, ET has the human-as-alien aspect. Or do both I, ET and AHR and compare/contrast. Time travel - The Locket! (Heh.) Ooooh, ...Different Destinations. Time travel that doesn't work out. (Hi, I'm going through the ep lists.) I'd say Kansas/Terra Firma, but I think they're way too heavy on the continuity. The others are more stand-alone, maybe.
