Looks like V is coming back at some time in the near future.



Newsarama.com : 'V' Plans Return Invasion on ABC

Don't know if it's being looked at as a mini or an ongoing.

Ah, "back to the past" with more endless rehash.

When will they learn?

Re: V

I thought creator Kenneth Johnson was working on a sequel or something?

Would have been interesting to revisit those characters had they been fighting the lizards all these years...

Re: V

In reading the article, I don't get the feeling of "more of the same".

Bring some type of captioning to internet streaming.

In a way I do.

"the new V will still focus on what happens when "the masses have blind faith in their leaders"."

To me, this almost certainly translates into "Indictment of the Bush administration"

Politics aside, there has been plenty of thay from Hollywood.

Well the original was an allegory on the Holocaust if I remember it correctly

Well if reality did not provide such inspiration then there would be less wouldn't there.....? The allegory is part of its depth. Such contemporary issues in science fiction are hardly new.

In any case I would love to see V back.

This is true. And certainly Hollywood has presented plenty about the Holocaust. However, the Holocause happend appox. half a century before "V"
was made. And "V" was clever at the time for putting a sci-fi twist on the allegory.

Assuming this new project (whatever it turns out to be) does take a theme similar to what it sound like to me, I just think that Bush allegories are just done to death at this point and he's not even out of office yet. And it seems to me that people still think they are being clever by doing it.

Well people putting blind faith in their leaders is hardly a new theme and could apply to one of numerous inspirations, the fact you are tieing it into what your tieing it into is telling enough.
