Discern a
weakness. Did the aliens travel millions of light years to invade
Earth—a planet with two-thirds of its surface covered in water—only
to discover they are allergic to water? Ok, not a brilliant move by
aliens that have developed the technology to travel at
faster-than-light speeds, but if that's their weakness, be sure to
stock up on bottled water, water guns, and have the garden hose ready
(or leave lots of half-filled glasses of water sitting around. If you
don't know what I'm talking about, watch M. Night Shyamalan's
“Signs.”) You can also hope that they didn't bring any
pharmaceuticals and just leave it to Earth's micro-organisms to
defeat them—the common cold might give us the sniffles, but to
alien physiology, it could be lethal! (War of the Worlds, both Welles
and Speilberg versions)
