I think this show appears to be more equal opportunity. In the show, they said the V's were responsible for needless wars. That would seem a shot more at republicans than democrats. Or more likely, there is no hidden message, it's just a piece of entertainment.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't the Sleeper Cell people discuss the V's plan of creating "political unrest" and an "economic meltdown" as part of their path to domination? Also, when asked about their home planet, Anna, their leader, responded with "our planet is not divided into countries, it is one singular government". Ameros anyone?

Of course you like NCIS. Most cats like shows based in New York. Its a true fact.

I was never a fan of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and I don't talk about that which I don't know about, so I'll take your word for it.

I really liked the original V, but am now going to give the new one a try, just because the lefties are saying that it's anti-Obama.

Excellent point. I hardly remember the original as I was only 8, but I remember being transfixed by it. In the run up to the show, before it aired, I read some literature on the original and learned (as I couldn't have realized as a child) that it was an allegory of fascism and how when it comes (as anyone who has studied Mussolini or the early stages of nazism knows) it comes on parade, masked as a savior and revolution of young and idealistic progressives. From my understanding ( I PVRed it and will watch it tonight) the ABC show doesn't differ much from that original theme. The Obamamaniacs obviously aren't comfortable with what this reminds them of. This seems like purely a case of the truth hurting..

I enjoyed it!

And if it parallels reality it's only following the original. It's Obama-mania that imitates 'V', not the other way around!

Pinky the creators of the show verbally said as much…hard to choose a more hackneyed 'cliche' than 'the new Nazis'…
