Isn't there a prequel comic explaining how humans met the bugs which has them literally invade Pluto? This "SST movie bugs have no FTL" idea needs to die in a fire.

Verhoeven disagrees w/ you: Yes ... when he was around the ages of approximately 2 to 6. Saying he got a deep understanding of fascism at an age he probably could barely remember any of is stretching it. ...
