Fiction and allegory are many times more damaging to the administration than is FoxNews.com.
Whenever Obama draws a crowd of sychophants...he also creates a vacuum.
And nature abhores a vacuum.

Man this is the first time I’ve regretted not having cable/digital tuner thingy. HULU better come through!

I did hear one of the teenagers use the term universal health care that the female lead alien was promising. Interesting.

Thanks for the ping but I'm not watching. Man-eating Lizards from space is not my idea of good Sci-fi. I'd rather watch Kirk fight the Gorn a thousand times than watch this rehashed series that wasn't so good the first time.

“We want to provide all your healthcare”
Handpicked journalists
“Ask no questions that portray us in a negative light.”
Also the thing about the danger of admiration turning to adoration.

The promise of universal healthcare.
Favoring only media outlets that are uncritical.
Using devotion as a weapon, targeting gullible people.
Connections with terrorists and people who apparently have no traceable past of any kind.
Yeah. I see a few interesting connections to Obama.

I liked it, however, it didn’t have the shock factor of the original (i.e. Diana eating a guinea pig) also I prefer the uniforms of the old V...

Thanks for the ping but I'm not watching. Man-eating Lizards from space is not my idea of good Sci-fi. I'd rather watch Kirk fight the Gorn a thousand times than watch this rehashed series that wasn't so good the first time. Please reconsider. I remember the original series, too. This is a lot better. And it's unbelievably relevant.
The aliens promise "Universal Health Care". Yes, they even used those words.
And they invite a reporter to do a live interview. As he is setting up, they condition it that any question can only portray the aliens favorably -- or the interview is cancelled.
They got unbelievably lucky that the "war" between the White House and Fox News broke out only a couple of weeks ago.

May I ask what is HULU?
HULU is a site that has all the currrent and quite a few old series episodes streaming on there. It is a good place to catch up on a series you watch regularly and miss an episode on. Here is a link
HULU.

V has become a crash course on how insidious totalitarianism, especially in its fascist guise, can really be. It points out the elements of fascism. Its a good reminder and educational tool.
And similarities to the Obama Junta are merely coincidental.
The Obama administration will ignore the series, unless discussion comparing his CZARs and CZARINAS to the V aliens developes legs.
Then V will be labeled rascist.
