It was based on "It can't happen here" by Sinclair Lewis.  The producers decided to put aliens in it because they were cooler then Fascists.

So you *do* get why one might draw parallels with Obama then.  :hug:

(I had no idea V. was based on a Sinclair Lewis novel.)

Raz the informer.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

She chopped off all that glorious hair.  :cry:



Stupid bitch.

That was all she had going for her.

Who was that chick from some TV show that cut short her hair and the ratings for the show fell so much that it got cancelled? I saw her in an interview, and she said: "I guess the hair is important for some people."

Dah.

Not did anyone else.  It was inspirted by the SL novel, but not based on it, even loosely.  Raz has either not read the book, or not seen the miniseries.

The original V series was pretty great; very good special fx for a tv show of the time (not counting lizard baby). The second series sucked monkey balls.

Awesome!

When can I watch V?

tomorrow if you order one day shipping

That wasn't funny.
I thought for a moment that I could buy the new series already.
Anyway, I don't have any money, so whatever.
It was funny for me, and with you admitting falling for it, it is even funnier now.

After watching the trailer I have to say it doesn't look too bad. I will give this the benefit of doubt, even without Michael Ironside.

Dah.
Keri Russell.  Felicity. :wub:

Kerri Russell is one of those women who I think is extremely beautiful, yet do not find even remotely HOTT for some reason.  I feel the same way about Catherine Zeta-Jones.

I know y'all are gonna say it's because she has small tits, but I don't think that's actually the reason...

For the record: I preferred Kaylee over Inara by miles.

Agreed, but then again I prefer Morena Baccarin to Jewel Staite as well.
