Chris Grieb Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Did anyone watch the new "V". A friend of mine says the earlier show had a libertarian theme Ordinary people rebelling against the oppressors. This one the opponents are government experts. There are some reports that the aliens have a charismatic leader who is promising health care for all. I find it hard to believe that one of the big three has a show that has an anti-Obama sub text to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is interesting, in that the genius who created -Firefly-, Joss Whedon is not a libertarian, himself. BTW, Whedon also created -Buffy the Vampire Slayer-.Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanz Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I watched it last night and enjoyed it. I will follow the series. It has a strong anti-authoritarian theme that will appeal to libertarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Campbell Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yesterday, Real Clear Politics ran an editorial by Glenn Garvin, who claimed that "V" has an anti-Obama subtext.We DVRed the first episode for our daughter, who had a big homework assignment last night. I hope to watch it soon.Robert Campbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
