My blind spot might be based on some expectations based on the "best since Alien" advertisements. As I wrote in a post below, it was "no Alien". My biggest gripe- I am easily annoyed by shocks caused by loud digital screams. Descent was based on these kind of manipulative ploys. Of course one is going to jump out of their seat if an unexpected noise occurs that rivals a 747 landing.I grant you that the monsters were creepy but they were too vulnerable and easily killed. I would have preferred one or two invincible creatures (like the original Alien) instead of the brood of blind jellyfish. I suppose this was to get the most mileage out of the gross out death scenes which were a-plenty. You know, axes in the head, thumbs popping out eyes .... urp!
I didn't consider your "The Ascent of Man?" observation. As usual, you bring up something to consider. By the way -I always enjoy your posts.
