      @@alectraproject to me that bit was more about the insight and empathy. While he did not like or even seem to understand what his brother was doing with that communication installation in the beginning, he knew it was important to him and let him tinker around with it anyways and then when the "state"(?) officials gave an explanation that utterly destroyed his brothers dream and sense of wonder, it was Earls empathy and love for his brother that drove him to try and reinstate it.
      Lets say there are two important parts to this story, having a sense of wonder at all and being able to endure that wonder of others even when you may not understand it yourself. May it be out of love or empathy or both.

    The best part of this is that the women were all acting only slightly odd, and it is up to your interpretation to decide if they are actually human or not. You get the idea they may have been aliens but if they were, they were used to masquerading as humans. All that's really important in the end is that these two characters are incredibly endearing.

    'We're sitting on the front seat of a planet...' What a great way to describe our connection to the galaxy. It certainly puts everything into perspective. Most would say that's a joke, or the writer is a fool. Think what you will, but it does make you realise not only how small we and this planet are, but how we should see our place relative to this massive environment.

    What I appreciate most about this short film is how outstandingly the characters are developed in such a brief span of time. I've seen 2 hour films that developed their characters less. I actually got a lump in my throat during that BBQ scene, too. Also, the production quality was incredible and the actors did a wonderful job. Bravo!
    My theory is those are space chicks from another planet who don't even know what a cow is. :)
