“Sounds like a clairvoyant wrote the original story.”
The original mini-series from the 80s was based on the novel “It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis about a fascist takeover of the United States.
Oh my...anyone else have trouble posting?
So far, pretty good. I am liking that the Priest is a good guy...and there is a good guy Ver (Brian).
Great scene with the Fed agent winding up being a lizard person...and the media guy “doing what is best for the common good.”
I usually hate this kind of thing and since 9/11 fiction has been mostly out for me. But, this is great.
In the original series “V” was for Victory, when the humans fought for victory over the alien visitors.
Very good. Much more conspiratorial than the original V. I was wondering what the guy was referrig to as “traitors and deserters” but I think the previews for the next episode answered that.Wouldn’t it be a riot if the POTUS was an alien too!!!
Very strong start.
Wow. They even dropped a healthcare bomb in the ep.
I thought it was crazy that they skipped the first 3 weeks after the Vs arrived. You’d think that, you know, some mildly interesting things might have been happening during that time frame.
All the better to set up some flashbacks...
This is REALLY CULT LIKE...ahahahahaaaaa!!
My point, yes.
I missed it. Thought it came on at 8pm, but it was 7pm..
.
I missed the new V
I hear “UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE” is big promise of the Visitors
This could be a classic
Can’t believe YOU missed it.
I have been occupied and am totally clueless about V. Never saw the original so it’s an unknown to me.
.
I can believe I missed it
I really wanted to watch it too
Be interesting to know who is behind the new version and how it got financed and produced and broadcast
[I can believe I missed it]
Yeah, I think I can too.
HAS to be ANTI-OBA’S involved in it to be bringing out the Health Care - unless they spin it into a ‘great’ thing.
Yeah 8 eastern, 7 central.
I was on my treadmill and didn’t hear all the dialogue. Can someone explain two things...
Why was the V/FBI double agent prevented from killing his partner?
Who is John May?
John May is the leader of the visitors 5th column. The lizards on the human’s side.
Last thing I remember about the V/FBI dude is he remembered who his partner was and said he was going to kill her. Unless I missed some of it I didn’t see him go after her yet.
Yeah, his doctor said that she would make a good ally and then injected him with something. Does that mean he is part of the fifth column?
