Glenn Beck's new favorite show
Permalink  



So there's this new show called "V" (it stands for "Visitors"). Apparently it's a remake of a show of the same name from the early 80s.

The premise: aliens have arrived at Earth. They all look like very attractive humans.

Their leader is played by this lady:



I approve of the casting choice.

When they get here, they announce that they've come in peace, and are here to solve all of our problems with their amazing technology, in exchange for a few natural resources that we weren't using anyway. Pretty sweet deal.

But, of course, they have an ulterior motive, which may or may not be the complete eradication of the entire human race. Also, they don't really look like physically perfect Brazilian women...they're actually hideous lizard-men!

But most of humanity doesn't realize this.

The people of Earth start abandoning their religions, replacing faith in God with faith in our new extraterrestrial saviors. A cult forms around them. Teenagers (lured by the female Visitors who show lots of cleavage) readily join the Visitor youth corps, to spread their message.

But there are humans who know what's up. Apparently they knew about the aliens and their intentions all along? They decide to form an underground resistance movement.

The Pilot aired on Tuesday on ABC.

They're trying something creative with the schedule - airing the first few episodes as a 4-part miniseries, with a regular (but still very short) season beginning in earnest in early 2010. Apparently it's going to be aired as a bunch of very short seasons (or "pods"), with much less of a delay between them than you would see with a traditional TV schedule. The idea is to make each section of the show feel like a big TV event.

Anyway, I watched the pilot last night, and it was pretty decent. Some people have read it as an anti-Obama allegory. I'm not sure if I see it that way, it seemed more like they were simply trying to drop a bunch of topical and controversial buzzwords (like "universal healthcare", "hope". and "change") to make the show seem relevant.

So maybe watch it. Or don't.

Whatever.

THIS IS A THREAD I MADE.

I do like the recent trend of networks taking more chances with heady sci-fi shows.

I was watching the old episodes of V on the Sci Fi channel and the episodes were so cheesy they were good.

Heh, the political message is pretty damn blunt.

Holy crap the second episode sucked.

It felt like the typical 2nd episode of a heavily-serialized drama - it spent most of the time spinning its wheels, rehashing what happened in the first episode, while barely advancing any of the plotlines.

The acting seemed even worse, and every character appears to have come down with a crippling case of stupid.

I think that the writers didn't know that the first four episodes were going to be aired as a miniseries when they wrote them. If they did, the entire plot of the pilot could have been stretched to fill those first episodes. It would have given them more time to actually flesh out the characters, and make them interesting, while making the lead-up to the revelation that the Visitors are evil far more ominous and suspenseful.

I started watching this series and I have to agree with you on the second episode. I was all excited over nothing. It could be skipped.
