I know I mentioned this a few weeks back, but thought I would remind you: Tonight at 8 p.m. EST, Discovery Channel is showing a CGI production called "Alien Planet." According to the promotional material researchers, exo-biologists, crypto-zoologists and assorted other Space and Terrestial scientists have collaborated to create a "realistic" view of what we might find on an alien planet.
Since there are billions of stars in our galaxy, millions of galaxies in our universe and at least 12 universes (that we know of so far), life is most likely out there, somewhere.
What form it takes and how it would respond to contact from us is the focus of this special.
If you're like me and plan to sit at home alone tonight, tune in Discovery Channel and see for yourself.
If nothing else, it should be wildly entertaining to Space nuts like us...

Alien Planet was based on Wayne Barlowe's brilliant 1990 book Expedition: Being and Account in Words and Artwork of the 2358 A.D. Voyage to Darwin IV--which the Discovery Channel seems to have gone out of its way to not mention. Oh well.
