You can tell this is America. In a crisis they serve hot coffee and doughnuts. In thiz country it would be lukewarm weak tea and curled up butties. Can't beat curled up butties! Vote Og.

Are you siding with the bad guys? M Virn always sides with the bad guys  I think you mean with the winners. Anyway, it can't have been a proper EMP because the car still worked and the radio came on. Presumably some sort of dastardly space-EMP. They're the worst kind, darn it! Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

The minute he realised he was holding an actual woman. Maybe the first time (he's a scientist after all). Might be different if he takes the glasses off.

No mention of the animals that HGW made so much of. As in: his Martians were as much a higher order of existence to us as we are to animals.
