This conversation has gone too far in the short time I was away for me to get truly involved but I did notice this:
Firstly, that isn't true ... "Stargate" (film & and two spin-off TV series) springs to mind where the "aliens" are most definitely not always perceived as advanced (more often rather primitive) and series such as "Star Trek", "Firefly", "Babylon 5", "Doctor Who" and so on will contain stories featuring more primitive races. Secondly, when you're talking about films (for instance) where aliens visit Earth yes, they are usually superior but that makes some sense because such scenarios tend to be set in the [then] present day against aliens who have come from a supposedly far flung world and as such they almost certainly must have technology greater than ours as we have only go unmanned satellites to anything other than the moon.
