Somebody saw The Anointed One coming. It appears to have been made in Canada, out of the reach of his more demented minions..

Thanks for the ping. Are you keeping a V ping list? If so, add me or keep me on it.

I haven’t watched it yet, but I do have it DVR’d. I’ll be watching intently this weekend.

LOL! That's one of my favorite lines in the entire series.

My favorite line of the whole series was "Jayne, my days of not taking you seriously are definitely coming to a middle."

Some shows improve after their debuts. We’ll have to see what happens. Maybe this show can make that half wit, gibbs, start whining again..

True. ‘Jericho’ got remarkably better after the first 5 eps.

I’ll give it some time but, it wasn’t a promising start. And I would dearly love to see Mr. Gibbs whining about a science fiction program. LOL!

Why “V” is not racist - except for being pro-human
By Tamara Wilhite

• “V” is about an alien race; Obama is (probably) a member of the human race
• The resistance in “V” is slaughtered by the aliens. Obama isn’t killing his critics yet.
• Aliens in “V” offer universal health care to both control and cure us so they can eat more of us later; Obama only offers universal health care to control us.
• The health care of the aliens in “V” actually cure injuries and illness of the sickest. Obama’s universal healthcare is a denial of care to the sickest.
• Alien health care is free. Obama’s is free, but the tax rate will kill you if the waiting lists don’t.
• The aliens want to mine minerals and harvest water. Obama thinks the Earth should be unsullied and turning off water to save fish is more important than dying crops and unemployed farmers.
• The main interviewer in “V” was surprised when told to only ask softball questions. Mainstream media interviewers volunteer.
• The interviewer in “V” believed in the principal of fairness. In real life, the reporter wouldn’t have.
• The fascists in “V” are planning on world domination. Obama only wants to dominate one nation.
• The aliens in “V” have infiltrated major religious groups and seek to guide them to their views. In real life, religious groups not already at the altar are second class citizens if not “bigoted” and “hateful”.
• The fascist aliens in “V” are beautiful and friendly. Except for Sasha and Malia, there are neither such people in the US Wanna-Be Dictatorship.
• The fascist aliens in “V” have simple titles like “leader”. Obama’s regime picks more negative words like “czar”.
• The fascist aliens have infiltrated our democracy but want to continue the façade of freedom. In real life, judges publicly overthrow and then chastise those who vote against the political elite.
• The fascists in “V” actually like babies. Sautéed or raw, but like them. Is this better than being a burden?
• The fascists in “V” have a better slogan, though they are just as hypocritical.
• The scripts for “V” were written during the Bush Presidency, but carry the classic elements of fascism through the story. Thus it was intended to call the Republicans, not the Democrats fascists. But if the shoe fits …

I was 17-18 yrs old, so don’t remember much. I remember the reptile kid being born and funny of all, Willie.
