That's the show's biggest flaw, is it acts as if 9/11 never happened -- or that anyone has seen a single summer blockbuster in the last 40 years. Because if aliens rolled up on our doorstep, I'm pretty sure the FIRST thing we'd assume was that they were here to conquer us. And if they looked like us, the FIRST thing we'd assume was that they had an agenda, and wanted our blood, or water, or women, or whatever -- and thus just based on our collective cultural consciousness from movie and fiction history alone. But no one asks to examine them? Or what they eat? Or if they have marriages or mate for life? Or last names? If they carry viruses and bacteria that would kill us all? And on and on -- granted, that kind of stuff bogs things down a little, but it's the sort of thing you'd expect people to ask about, rather than "oh wow, they're all hot and they want peace -- wheee!"

I assume those skin suits are biologically alive and somehow wired into their brains to feel pain and so on - but yeah, the aspect of the functioning dick seems a little strange, as does the cold blooded snatch that kid was going to be sticking it into. Creepy, but maybe the show could use a little grit rather than looking like an Apple Store most of the time.
