One major problem with time travel stories is that they are always flawed. If aliens came back from the future to 'harvest' humans, why choose to come to a time where humans are relatively technologically advanced?

Why not return to the Middle Ages, no pollution, easy 'pickings'. Or why not return to when Straker  was a child and kill him then? (Assuming that one of their prime reasons for coming to Earth was to destroy Straker?).

There would also be evidence of mutation, with the 'future' humans
being taller  for example, and this was not evident in the aliens that were recovered. If they were coming from the  future, they wouldn't need to come from outside the Solar System either.

It's an interesting idea, but one that isn't really supported by the facts in the series.
