Talk:Chigs

message: Oh come on!  Somebody's a little preoccupied with this show.  Could someone PLEEEEZE rewrite this so it's not referring to real life?
: In an article about an element within a TV show, it would be redundant to keep pointing out "by the way folks, it's made up", so the tone of the article seems appropriate. And I've seen some episodes of the show probably more than 100 times and *never* got preoccupied :P GhostGirl 09:48, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A random question, the "point of debate" remark suggests that it's not certain if he had a bomb or if the explosion was an accident (since they did end up mixing methane and oxygen together in an enclosed space).  IS this a point of debate?  If so, we need to rephrase the statement to something like "The Ambassador may have detonated a hidden bomb".--Raguleader 07:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

text: IIRC, in the last episode, the Ambassador says that Humans and Chigs have the same origin, though I don't recall the specifics (or even if it was a specific relation between the two, or just that we had similar origins from the same type of development on our respective planets.--Raguleader 07:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

:I edited it a little bit. Specifically I removed words like "us" and replaced it with "humans." Hope that helps. 134.114.59.41 10:05, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is this supposed to be a joke? 

message: The article states that water and oxygen are poison to Chigs. This is incorrect: in episode 23 puddles of water can be seen on the Chig Homeworld and the fact that the Chigs are organic lifeforms descended from Earth bacteria makes it virtually impossible for them not to require water to stay alive.
The dead of the Chig in the second episode by means of inserting water into its helmet was a suicide mechanism, just like all the dissolving Chigs in later episodes died because of a suicide mechanism in their suits, not because of exposure to oxygen. Prove is provided in episode 23 when a Chig dissolves on its own homeworld when its helmet is pulled off and in episode 24 when a Chig bursts through glass into a room with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere, doesn't dissolve, and survives long enough to attack a human inside the room. I also think the suicide mechanism in the suits should be mentioned as this is what makes the Chigs so mysterious (humans never get to see what Chigs look like underneath their armor).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.93.101.238 (talk) 22:50, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
