This thread is dedicated to my favourite childhood TV series V. The story of an alien race that come to Earth as "Visitors" and flood Earths media system with propaghanda of them being all smiles and handshakes. Did I mention that they wear red, black, and white uniforms with armpatches?
one of their leaders is this hot 80s out chick named Diana who does lots of cruel things like brainwash the beatuful heroine Julie with laser lights in her face and makes her see giant lizards...
So later on it tunrs out the that visitors are not so friendly.... and they they are really lizard people who eat mice and birds and are realy on Earth to steal all of the water and take all the humans for food.
There are lot of intersting plot elements here that deal with issues such as resistance to invasion and propaganda... there is also a group of Visitors who are sympathtic to the Humans..... and there are also even some Jews in it who help the resitance by hiding them.. which they metion they did because during holocaust, someone did the same for them.... so it definatly draws parallels.. This same couple's son is actually a Visitor sympathizer....
All kinds of good crazy stuff going on. High budget, high action, apocalyptic.
There wasn't many show on TV that grossed out the parents... but wehn Robert England crunches up his first mouse on the screen.. I remmeber the kids in my 3nd grade class going nuts! Couldn't beat it with a bat.
It was indeed a phenomenon.
I think I'm going to purchase the seres soon. sweet nostalgia. There WAS something good that came out of the 80s.
