Oh No! Aliens in the "real" world. Guess they hated ET too?

I think the problem with the aliens in Crystal Skull was that it tried to mash sci-fi into a series that was established more in fantasy. Yeah, they're both unrealistic and escapist and whatnot, but sci-fi and fantasy usually don't mix (except in Star Wars, and I think that only worked because they brought in the Force right in the beginning instead of later on in the series). Like, picture if wizards started showing up in Terminator, or if flying saucers started popping up in Lord of the Rings. Once you've established which genre you're doing, mixing in another one just kinda seems....wrong.
