Great comments at the site. Nice to see so many people picking up on the same things. And the occasional obamatron defender/Bush hater posters are laughably stereotypical. Thanks for posting! Goes well with my morning coffee.

What? Are you saying Mormons are the radicals or that the Mormons knew that others were the violent nuts who are now in the gvt?

mellows.

Let’s hope this whole thing isn’t some sort of reverse psychology. It IS ABC after all.

I liked when the babe alien told the reporter she will cancel the interview unless he agrees to ask only flattering questions.
And that if he did make her (the alien) look good he would get all the exclusive interviews.
Remind you of anyone? Where’s the FNC on the show? The Glenn Beck with the crazy alien conspiracy theories?? LOL
Again: I almost fell off the chair when the sneaky aliens offered universal health care. yes ABC!!!
I love politics again!!!

The original “V” is broadcast, I believe, on TV Land.

The promise of universal healthcare.
Favoring only media outlets that are uncritical.
Using devotion as a weapon, targeting gullible people.
Connections with terrorists and people who apparently have no traceable past of any kind.
Yeah. I see a few interesting connections to Obama.
Of course, "V" is a remake of a miniseries from the 1980's. It's not "about" Obama. But it IS about totalitarianism and how people get sucked into supporting a regime which can control its message, make wonderful promises, and harness the power of adulation and devotion. These regimes are always scary, whether it's Mussolini, Hitler, or Aliens from outer space.
The fact that people see the current TV and think about Obama is really very telling -- even if the writers of the show weren't thinking about Obama when they write it.

SyFy appears to be airing the entire series in back to back to back episodes.....

"I happened to catch one episode of the original series just the other day (wish I could remember what channel)." Netflix has old shows on CD/DVD, even ones as obscure as "The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr" and "Greatest American Hero".

Isn't "V" an old TV series from the 1980's?
(About 1983-85.) IIRC), it was a 2-part (2 hr each) mini-series. The next year it added a 3-part (2 hr each) mini-series. Then a TV series was developed that was supposed to run 20 episodes, but production stopped after number 19. The TV series didn't have a sufficient viewership.

Maybe the next episode will show the leader coming from Kenya!
We were watching this the other evening as both my wife and I were fans of the original series. When they made the universal health care comment, we both laughed and wondered how that got past the network moderator in the White House. Perhaps they were tuned into O’reilly at the time.

to tar scientists as a fifth column sits uncomfortably close to the current right-wing view that the worlds leading scientific organizations are conspiring to suppress evidence that global warming is a hoax.)
Actually, the hoax is that politicians such as the bloated Algore, nutcase scientists such as Holdren, clueless dork political virgins such as Chu, cherry-picking fraudsters such as Mann and his hockey stick group, and political bodies such as the IPCC have any real scientific credibility.

SyFy ran the entire mini-series and final battle on Sunday and has been running the TV series as a marathon for several days.
