But only in sci-fi would you ever find lefties picking up weapons other than words to fight for what they believe in or against that which they think is wrong. *wink*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-1152285068338838702006-07-07T11:11:00.000-04:002006-07-07T11:11:00.000-04:00Having recently emigrated from the USSR at the tim...Having recently emigrated from the USSR at the time I saw the original miniseries, I interperted the political context completely backwards. I saw the Aliens as left-wing/Communists since the scapegoating of scientists screamed of Stalin's Doctor's Plot to me, and the Resistance as the Right (well, more liberetarian Ayn Randians) battling for freedom and no planetary control by one single entity. The fact that the resistance was composed of different ethnic and social groups seemed precisely a battle against Communists/alians who all dressed and thought alike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-1152256148580788952006-07-07T03:09:00.000-04:002006-07-07T03:09:00.000-04:00John, I'm glad you finally got the chance to use t...John, I'm glad you finally got the chance to use the June Chadwick recordings you made. I was wondering if you would have to do a V book to utilize the questions. However, you made one small error in your blog. The original V mini-series aired in the spring of 1983, not 1984.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-1152232291113076782006-07-06T20:31:00.000-04:002006-07-06T20:31:00.000-04:00Oh my god!

Many complained that the show sank to the level of a schlocky Dynasty imitator. The battle of the bitches wasn't everyone's idea of good scifi either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
