Talk:E.T.

Seems to me se was talking about extraterrestrial life life in general rather then the movie character, it's a common term in the seti community. -- Capricorn 01:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think they really were referencing ET since they referred to ET as a singular entity rather than any old ET. Though it is rather ambiguous... :) &mdash; Morder (talk) 01:34, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

They didn't nescesarely reference a single entity; just fill in the term and it fits the sentence: "Do you think [extraterrestrial life] (in general) likes Chateau Coeur?". I agree it's ambiguous, that's why I didn't slap a merge notice (with alien) on it right away, but imo it really doesn't sound like a movie reference. I've heard and read the term used in this kind of context lots of times. -- Capricorn 02:11, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, Rain Robinson says "if HE doesn't, i have a six pack in the fridge" - so she did reference him in the singular but i put an incite on the reference anyway... :) &mdash; Morder (talk) 02:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The six-pack in the fridge, I think, is a direct reference to a scene in the movie too... &mdash; Morder (talk) 04:16, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Her exact words were "Do you think E.T. likes Chateau Coeur" not "Do you think the E.T. likes Chateau Coeur". It's a clear reference to the movie character, solidified by the beer reference (E.T. drinks several cans of beer in the movie, as I recall). We have a policy for instances like this: check it out. :) --From Andoria with Love 04:17, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think this is clear enough at all for the "use common sense" policy to be appropriate. (and again, a "the" before "ET" isn't necessary). Admittedly somehow I didn't connect the six pack line to the E.T. reference; that's a rather solid hint that it is indeed the movie character that's referenced, and I think given that line it is fair to assume this article is valid as it's the most logical interpretation. Personally though I'm still not convinced my interpretation can be ruled out at all. But I guess it's just going to be one of those "pending further evidence" things -- Capricorn 15:37, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that it's common sense, but I wonder if we should drop the movie title and leave it as a "popular movie character".--31dot 22:52, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Did anyone perchance see the extra material for the third season of Voyager? Haven't seen it myself, yet, but maybe there's some behind-the-scenes information to solve this matter - although I think it is a reference to the movie character. Picard(o) 18:48, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
