Earth's doomsday occurs millions of years before the first extraterrestrials arrive. The widespread devistation of all-out nuclear war leaves our planet devoid of nearly everything. There is no life of any kind left, the atmosphere is gone, and the Moon is now just an orbiting cloud of dust and debris. The new visitors arrive carrying a golden record expecting to find the beings who created it. Instead, the giant dead rock provides a few scant clues to the past. One thing, in particular, is a small box containing what appears to be a smaller record, silver in color and made out of plastic.
Plot: The only traces of humankind left behind after total annihilation are sparse ruins and the first season of the mid 90s underwater hit seaQuest DSV. Aliens who visit Earth are left to piece together and discover a dark and tragic past through 1096 minutes of action-packed primetime television. A hilarious and touching story of hidden eloquence, false pasts, and unlikely heros.
