"Suzi and Doves re "V""
Hi John and Doves,
I am most miffed that we (in UK) have no idea of the current TV series,
"V". Years ago - back in the late 1980's, a movie came out, called "V".
It was in the days that owning a video recorder/player was a sign of
being "comfortably off" - haha. It was an 8 part series (I think) and
it was about aliens taking on human form, that they couldn't sustain
for that long. They had quite gory shots of these alien/humans,
swallowing lizards (and similar) whole - dislocating their jaws - a
la "American Werewolf in Paris". It was absolutely riveting and
we stayed up until 4am, watching tape after tape. I take it that this
current series is a spin off? Does anybody have any idea if we can
stream this off the Internet (legally, of course). The more you guys
talk about it, the more fascinating it sounds. Not just because I'm a
sci-fi fan but because I also believe that someone, somewhere, knows
exactly what's going on. It's no accident that movies are preambles to
"real life in the future". That's the thing about the AC and his
cronies - they may be creating untold chaos in the world but they are
peculiarly clumsy about it. Almost buffoonish. Lots of over-blown ego's
about.
