Lizard women always appear not guilty but their not guiltyness is only skin deep.
If they are offended when they see their fascism mirrored back at them,
the answer seems to me to be a little more introspective about their belief system.
Or, like most secularist/humanist/leftists,
you could remove the source of your discomfort
by silencing the voices of those that make you
uncomfortable.
Willima R. Fortschen has a good starting place for that with the books Star Voyager Academy, Article 23, and Prometheus.
But I’d like something set in Honorverse even better.
Because 25 years ago, no one in this country ever dreamed we'd be on the slow drift toward Fascism. Twenty-five years ago, Germany was still divided and the Cold War was still raging.
How ‘bout a “Chronicles of Honor Harrington” show? Something REALLY new? With lots of exploding spaceships, even?
Bite your tongue!
Look at what Hollywood did to 'Starship Troopers'! Heinlein's body is spinning in his grave so hard it should've burst into flames!
I don't even want to THINK of what they'd do to the Honor Harrington books.
Now, if they did John Ringo's Alldenata books, or maybe the 'Ghost' series I wouldn't worry. He'd just shoot them all and bury them where they'd never be found.
Come to think, I don't know if it'd be safe to mess with David Weber, either.
Guess I just don't want to take a chance.
From Hulu: “The premiere episode will be posted Saturday, November 7th.”
Following episodes no mention though so you probably correct there.
You can't make a movie about "smiling fascism" and NOT have it resemble Obama and the liberals.
V from 25 years ago was based on Nazi fascism.
If Obama supporters are uncomfortable with the parallels,
they need to understand WHY they are uncomfortable with the comparisons to their own ideology.
I don't think there's singing, so it's not an "opera".
And in the original 1983 movie, the Nazi connection wasn't so subtle, the official seal of the visitors was essentially a swastika with two of the arms truncated.
Right. I know. No need to repeat yourself in every post.
Since it's the original writer of the V: The Series, basically writing the plotline to the 2009 incarnation, the only thing new is the cast. It's being called a series revival.
You have a point if it's someone trying to get into the head of someone else to figure out "this is how he would have done it", or "this is how it would have turned out". That's not the case here. The original writer and producer is writing and producing this project.
If this series was airing on PBS, it would be nothing BUT a bunch of singing. LOL
Awesome.
There is a group who believe a man named David Ickes - who claims that the “blue bloods” in the US, including former President Bush, are actually alien lizards....he takes the blue blood nickname seriously.
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.

That’s why ratings need to be through the roof tonight. It will be competing against election coverage in the largest TV market in the country (NYC), which penetrates into northern New Jersey. There of course may be some local elections in NYC, but tonight is election night for most of the country, either indirectly or directly. I of course will DVR it, which also will count as a TV viewing it live.
If the ratings are through the roof on this show, ABC will order more episodes. They did the same thing with FlashForward. They didn’t think there was much there, but the ratings on the pilot were HUGH that they ordered a full season.
heheheheheh...

This graphic needs to be used everywhere after today’s election results are known.
