I've been waiting for the remake of "V" for a while, wanting to see if it would be better or worse than the original 1983 version that I really loved. I have to say, it was pretty good...except...I wasn't expecting it to recreate an Obama campaign rally!
Think about it - the Visitors suddenly show up out of nowhere (just like Obama), kick off with flashy, inspiring speeches, providing no proof to back them up (just like Obama), and when the speeches are done, the sheeple in the streets launch into applause (just like at an Obama rally). For crying out loud, the Visitors even provided universal health care!
Hopefully, the program will continue, and viewers will eventually learn that even though the V's promise lots of good stuff (just like Obama), there's really an especially evil and sinister motive behind it all that will destroy us if it isn't stopped (just like Obama).
Something that makes me smile though - in this show, I get to watch two more Firefly alumni (Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk), in addition to Nathan Fillion as Castle on Mondays!
