Oddly, I am just working on a piece about what makes the show ancient aliens brilliant, and it is tangentially related to this kind of criticism. The real danger of "ancient astronaut theory," is that it is an absurdist ideology as performance art, and when you watch it, you wonder what else is just iterating the logic of an idea to associate facts and replace their uncertainties with the founding idea. What makes Ancient Aliens so dangerous is that it shows other ideologies to be just as laughably persuasive, and this is what makes it a work of genius. Attacks on this show and the ideas around it are necessarily by people protecting their investment in another ideology the show makes vulnerable. Seems I should finish that piece!
