@Illuminatus @swope @nyrath He didn't invent the "Dark Forest". If you want some earlier work, see Fred Saberhagen's Berserker stories, or (1980s update) Greg Bear's "The Forge of God"/"Anvil of Stars" duology.

I think Col. Bleep is clearly not Dark Forest because the Futurans spot the 1945 Trinity test through a telescope, read it as "a sign of trouble," and send Bleep to keep watch on humanity.

@swope @Illuminatus @nyrath Too bad we'd be more likely to get Invader Zim instead.
