Grig - Star Navigator among Reptilian Aliens

Any list of reptilian aliens would be incomplete without Grig from The Last Starfighter.

Reptilian Aliens - Grig

This fella is an example of a benevolent fatherly alien, its iguana-like appearance notwithstanding. Not that I have anything against iguanas. All I'm saying is that it is wise, loyal, caring, and has a trademark cackle.

This reptilian humanoid alien is a star navigator first class in a Rylan Star League army. He lives on a rocky planet in underground caves. He has a "wife-oid" and 6000 kids. He is senselessly brave and, as he himself admits, he has always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds.

Watching this movie as a kid helped me get over my fear of reptiles, which worked well for me in biology class. (Who says science fiction movies serve no practical purpose?!)

SF Movie
WANTED

Did you see this movie?

Our visitor Margie is looking for a movie she saw as a kid. Here is her description:

"I am trying to find a TV movie I saw in 1963 -- was a late 50's or very early 60's sci-fi in which Madagascar fish protoplasm is brought to the U.S., escapes and becomes a huge blob that strangles people (and maybe eats them). This is not 'The Blob' with Steve McQueen. Could be Twilight Zone or Outer Limits?"

If you know the name of this SF movie or any information about it, please send us a message via this link.

Thank you!
