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.
