It's starting in 3 minutes..."V"...the strange remake of "V"...the series that is so evocative of Obama's "hope and change".
Just starting a discussion thread as this serial opens.
The idea that the mainstream media is in the pocket of liberals and Obama himself, didn’t just sprout wings a couple weeks ago. They just outed themselves totally then. But, the scenes with the reporter could have been written just based on the way Obama has been treated for the last two years. Its as if those scenes HAD taken place and we just didn’t see them live. Until they lost it on FNC. Probably due to a narcissistic fit by Obama.
I recommend trusting freepers over what you’ve read somewhere else. justlurking is exactly right about this.
Your wife sounds like a smart lady :)
This seems to paint Obama in a negative light.
The script for the pilot was written after the election, Floyd. There's also some suggestion that ABC is not entirely happy with it. Production on the show was halted after four episodes for a creative overhaul. Exactly what that means is anybody's guess..
The aliens will be the heroes and the rebels will be just a bunch of crazy "teabaggers" (MSM term) waving Gadsden flags. After all, the aliens have health care, snappy slogans and near complete control of the press.
I agree regarding the SciFi aspect, boring and predictable. But as political commentary? It was very surprising just how relevant the first episode was. I was prepared not to like it, but will probably watch the next episode. Unless obama has it canceled...
***Thanks for the heads up on this movie!***
I saw it on TV way back in the dark ages of 1968.
***This is not about Huusein! ***
If the shoe fits, he might as well wear it!
Someone who gets it! This is (was) about Bush. It relates to the popular misconception of what Bush was about.
The whole prospect fair drips with irony.
After watching the show, I have to ask:
Has Obama ever released any medical records to CONFIRM that he has a skull?
I haven't read a thing about this show anywhere else. I remember the old series and that is enough for me to avoid the remake.
Just so you will understand more about my viewing habits, I don't watch drama, horror, mystery, thriller, or suspense movies. "V" is to close to that sort of thing for my rather bland tastes.
Last week, online, I saw a pop up ad for V, and it looked like Morena Baccarin was in it. Tonight, during the opening credits I saw Alan Tudyk.
God, Firefly was a great show.
I was really disappointed to see that ABC is making this a weekly thing, and not the classic miniseries format. I seem to remember back in the 1980's when a miniseries was scheduled it would be primetime for 3-4 consecutive nights. That was THE BEST!
Same thing with my viewing habits-and I loved it. Didn’t think I would, but, it was very good.
I didn’t watch it yet, I recorded it.
Was it a bait and switch?? Was it really pro-liberal instead of anti-Obama some media led us to believe?

ABC not post to Hulu
The Visitors promised Universal Health Care.
I kid you not. And those specific words were used.
Does that sound pro-liberal?
I must have been four or five when the original mini-series first aired, I remember it being a pretty big deal though . . . and those promo’s that ran for a few weeks before broadcast . . . scared me silly!
Thanks for the info!
1. First states she won’t do an interview unless he only asks easy questions, then starts the interview with “ask anything you like”.
2. Offers free cures, then offers “universal medicine”. They intend to control if not kill us, and universal medicine is a means to do so. The joke being “universal medicine” from interstellar aliens who mean to eat us. Not sure if that’s better or worse than Obama.
