The early part of the show focused on the Book of Enoch,not part of the standard Bible. Generally, angels were beings divided into "hosts", one group of which were "fallen".
But rather than the typical Biblical interpretation, the show asked whether angels had been extraterrestrials, or even "ultraterrestrials" who could come from other dimensions or parallel universes (almost as in "Inception").
Were angels like physical people? The common analogy might be Superman, or Clark Kent in the "Smallville" series, or maybe (as the plot develops), "Sean" in NBC's "The Event". They may seem ordinary but have "powers" to distort space-time around them, or simply be unusually gifted. The characterization as "giants" was probably metaphoric.
The show examined the angels of Sodom and Gomorrah, with Lot turning to a pillar of salt when seeing a nuclear blast. The show did not mention the usual "moral" (to use the word loosely) misuse of this Biblical story.
The show examined whether the Transfiguration on Mt. Herman invoked angels, and it was at the same parallel (33rd) as Roswell, NM.
The Islamic faith claims that every person has two angels recording deeds.
But the general conclusion was that the Bible is the most complete source of information about extraterrestrials and offers the most evidence of their existence.
In one of my novel drafts, I propose that certain people could "become" angels. They would have to join in eternal marriage eventually but be prepared to have a paternal relationship with other people's children (specifically from individuals that I call "old souls") without having their own. But there would be a host of 144,000 "old" angels, some of whom could have fallen; some new angels could fall, too. They would have the power to "capture" and contract the consciousness of others. There would exist a novel"virus", with radioactive atoms that could contain singularities, which can transform some people into angels.
