'V' aims at Obamamania

Ur the boss shock troop make it happen.

"I can and do influence public opinion"  Interesting comment considering the media usually denies that.

that rover in the beginning reminded me of those nanobots in the skynet thread.

Way too many.  That media comment was spot on for the "real world". 

The phone tapping is crazy too...maybe a representation of the patriot act in the series?  The Vs seem to intercept everything.  Including pay phones.

They are trying to cram too much material in each episode.

It won't be renewed.

They fired the original producer...and the show will only run 4 eps before starting again in the spring.

"people fear change, it's normal"

"We must not underestimate the importance of popular opinion among humanity. opinions can easily change. monitor them and if necessary shape those opinions, by doing so we can stop any resistance before it starts"

"Only together can we hope for the future"

The fact that the V chose a single case of unjust with Mary Faulkner to exploit and highlight resulting in increased support for the V.

All in all, very little political relevance in this episode.  Point out if I missed anything...


According to HH6 we only have one more episode before it starts again in the spring.  Big bummer....  If they ran it as a mini series with potential like Syfi did with Battlestar that would have been much better but to cut off after 4 episodes will probably be the death of this.  I rarely give the major networks a chance on any interesting series like this because they usually fuck it up and or just cancel it.  It's become a regular routine with these fuckheads.  I pretty much ignore anything and everything they put out because they usually fuck it up and it gets canceled.  If you want a sure bet, go with the shit put out by FX, SyFi, HBO, AMC and a few others who devote and promote their investment and time and stay in it for the long haul.

You hit the bullseye with the quotes.  The only thing I was thinking of was the "false flag attack" on the Vs second in command.  I'm sure most of us saw that one coming...that's all I can add to what you have.

bump, now that it's back on.
