I assume it would be very fast and painless if it just comes charging in.
But I suppose if it just saunters by slowly and pulls us out of our usual orbit, maybe we have a few days or weeks of mass confusion and suffering?

Even if it comes in very fast, you're still talking about many months of forewarning, perhaps even many hundreds of years if it was a "normal" star instead of something like a brown dwarf.

Ok, so still slow and painful and we have plenty of time to start panicking and killing eachother? Fantastic.
