Ping ListPing ListPacing was way too fast. It should have taken 2-3 hours in reach some of the story points concluded a half an hour in. It seemed extremely edited.
Still, though, I appreciate the effort. I heard ABC is already forcing changes to make it less an (unintentional?) Obama parable.
Thanks for the link
They pretty much crammed through a season’s worth of revelations in 44 minutes of content. The pacing was terrible. They actually had a scene where a guy stood around for a couple of minutes and just told us stuff.
More talented writers would have set up clues and given rewarding payoffs as the 13 episode season progressed.
Thank you very much for showing us how we can see “V” (hopefully all four episodes as they come out) on Hulu. I saw it on Amazon a few days ago, and want to see all the other episodes as they come out.
However, we all (including me) have to get realistic about “V”:
....The script was written by [recently demoted Scott] Peters during the Bush administration and started before Mr. Obama clinched the nomination.....Mr. Peters, besides being a talented writer and director is a gay man, legally married in California, and a liberal supporter of the President who worked for and donated money to the his campaign..... Mr. Peters, who was born in Canada, recently became an American citizen; a process he tried to expedite so he could vote for Mr. Obama, a deadline he missed by two days.....

As with the original 1980s “V”, the updated and restyled 2009 version is about a totalitarian takeover, masked by promises of “change” and “hope”, and even “universal health care”. Most people drink the Kool-Aid, and the totalitarian Visitors manipulate the media to help that process along. The “benevolent”-seeming Visitors abuse the devotion of most earthlings to further their real purpose—to eat us all.
The idea of aliens coming to Earth to eat us has been a theme in several science-fiction shows, notably “To Serve Man” on the Twilight Zone. So “V”, although a gripping and well-done (both the 1983 and 2009 version) variation on that theme, is not really totally original. “To Serve Man” was much too early to be written about obama.
However, obama and his administration fits the Visitors on “V” to a T. That’s not because “V” was written about obama, but because obama is totalitarian, and his “benevolent”-sounding “health” care and other programs are designed to kill tens of millions of us and to destroy our country as we know it!!
The fact that “V” was NOT written about obama, but obama and his minions looks almost exactly like the lizards, makes obama look even worse than if “V” had been written about obama!!!! It is no wonder that obama’s stooges have demoted Scott Peters, and will probably work to either change the show drastically or make sure that it never gets beyond four episodes.
I found it strange that Anna claimed they came here for some of our water then goes on to describe her planet as being covered in oceans like ours.
