Omg yes. I've always wanted a time-travel story where it goes the other way around i.e. they come to us. As maddening as it is to go backward, at least we have history as a frame of reference. Going forward is a different ballgame. Plus it just sounds really fun and full of plot promises.
I am now watching Farscape S1 because of you btw. There are not enough hours in the day >_
