They talk about a middle east ritual. Nothing about water. I'm sure the middle east ritual isn't spraying water on aliens. Think about t for a minute.

How do you know that the water is FATAL? You don't. The alien got hit in the head ans stomach with a baseball bat numerous times. Water can just add to the beating. There is proof that water hurts them, but no proof it is fatal to them. It could have been the massive blows or the water that actually kills the alien. And actually we don't even see him die. hes lying there breathing heavy...so.

Dude......water is ACID to them. You remember how he got water on his shoulder? Burned his skin off. Now think of what that would do to his face. When Merrill knocked him over with teh bat the glass of water spilled on the alien's face.....you saw the reflection of the TV, heavy breathing, slow breathing, then no breathing. He died from getting acid poured on his face. Its obvious that even though the bat knocked him over, it wasnt doing serious damage. When Merrill first hit him with it he just dropped the kid and turned around like nothing happened......that dude was built.
