>implying the original series had anything to do with Ronald Reagan

I was more shocked to hear "COMEDY 4 WAY" in a promo for some comedy night lineup.

It's odd because a shitload of other ABC shows have a pro-homosexual agenda.

>>5471353

I guess I am too young to remember the original. 22 here.

lollercoasters...
i cant watch alien reptilian tv without it becoming fear mongering, ffs watch a show for a show... all i know this show used to scare the shit outta me when it came out... i was 4... you know barack is a reptile and we need to unfreeze disney to kill him

>>5471360

Thanks, anon. Solid numbers, exactly what I was looking for.

ABC supports 'corporatocracy', which is basically. . .either of the two parties we have now. Just without universal health care, because people are peons that should work themselves to death ideally.

>>5471372
There is no commentary on the V set that mentions Reagan.

7/10 for your troll, though, you had me going.

Jesus does every show have to have some political agenda or allegory.

God forbid you watch a show at face value.

>>5471384
Except my job provides health insurance for me and I have no trouble and I don't have to work myself to death.

Sounds like you're wrong.

wow show on nbc
now on abc ...
universal tv!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!??

>>5471386
>no commentary

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I HAVE THE FUCKING DISC LAYING ON MY DESK. I'VE LISTENED TO THE COMMENTARY. IT'S COMMON FUCKING KNOWLEDGE THAT REAGAN IDEALS WERE THE BACKING OF THE ORIGINAL V. ANTI-INTELECTUALLISM (EVANGELICALS) ANTI-SCIENCE FASCISM.

GOD DAMN IT

dont see any mention of regan in the wikipedia article on the series

>>5471413
Then I'll get another job, dipshit.

I hadn't heard anything political about the show prior to watching. It seemed pretty blatant to me, without prior disposition.

>>5471410
Bro. The troll is over.

You got me, just take your victory and stop.

As a liberal I find it funny people think this show has any sort of agenda.

Well not if you think that's how you spell Reagan you're not.

>>5471409

Oh yeah, you're right. Thanks.

>>5471431

as a reptile everything is proceeding as plannned

ABC is the station that aired the anti-John Kerry "Biography" on the eve of the 2004 elections. They also did a pro-McCain one in 2008. They were also working on an Obama hack job to air on the eve of the 2008 elections, but they backed off when the overwhelming response of a boycott of sponsors was made.

I found it funny that they suggested that Bush/Cheney were tools of the visitors, but UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE is going to be the evil weapon. That was Glenn Beck levels of subtlety.

>>5471421
Yes. Every job provides health care. And none ever have limits to what they cover. It is impossible to go over your coverage limits.

Seriously, you can't argue health care with 18 year old fags working at Starbucks that think they've got the world figured out.

>>5471430
>>5471413
>until they decide that your medical issues exceed what they give a shit about...

Except that it's illegal for a company to fire you based on that.

Jesus fucking christ where do you get your info you dumb ass?

I like that I'm pretty oblivious to political shit, so I can actually just enjoy a tv show of reptilian space invaders against Juliet.

I welcome you. My scaly overlord.

Yep MY job provides me with care. I don't give a fuck about your job and his job or her job because I shouldn't have to. Mind your own damned business. Go get fucking medicare you poor piece of shit. I know I'm poor too but at least I went to school and got into a career were benefits are as common as a damned prison reach around.

>>5471460
Does it look like her tits got smaller?

>>5471454
Are you honestly so stupid/gullible you don't know that they can make up any reason they want to fire you?

>>5471433
im not what? there is no mention of regan on wikipedia article about v movys, go see for yourself

>>5471449
Kerry injured himself to get out of the war.

It's true. Look it up.

Also CBS and Dan Rather's fudge up about Bush's war record with fake documents.

>>5471468

Maybe a little. They'll get bigger when the reptilians impregnate her breasts.

Actually I'd rather just leech off of you. Plus, there's more of us than there are of you, so get ready to get fucked.

ENJOY WORKING THERE DIPSHIT, HAVE FUN WITH ALL THAT. I'LL BE CHILLING HERE FISHING.

I dont understand the shitstorm over the conservative undertones. It's not like you dont see liberal bias on the news stations that pretend they aren't biased and in other programming.

>>5471483
because conservatives are wrong and try to impede progress

>>5471469
>BAWWW COMPANIES ARE EVIL AND WORK AGAINST ME BAWWWW I GOT FIRED IT WASN'T MY FAULT I WAS INCOMPETENT BAWWWWWWWWWW

Sorry good workers don't get fired unless cuts are needed. Sorry you were such a piece of shit to whatever company you worked for they didn't want to keep you because of your cynical bullshit.

ITT: Political shit stains BAWing about a show that does not conform to their political views.

>>5471483
it's not really conservative undertones. It's corporate undertones. Conservatives wouldn't give a shit about health care if corporations weren't shitting themselves that they might have to stop making a profit off of sick people.

>>5471378

Neither did anyone of his era. How many decades did it take for people to work out what Gullivers Travels was *really* about? You expect /tv/ to be any better?

>>5471494
>because conservatives are wrong and try to impede progress


>implying 1.2 trillion in debt just to make sure everyone can wait in line for a flue shot is progress

OP
It is just a throwback to the alien paranoia stories of times past, and its a BBC production besides. Don't go reading too much into it. We aren't living in China after all.

My review. Too rushed (again!) I think they could have drawn it out more and had more credible characters. Not so bad. I was a big V-nut in back in the day, cant stand it now, but I'll watch next week just to see if it picks up.

>>5471508

I'll catch some of those old episodes, but political overtones aside, I didn't see much about the pilot I liked. Forced storylines, unrealistic reactions from characters (i.e. Female agent thinks she is infiltrating terrorist cell meeting, is the most vocal person there; Priest is quick to violence, etc)

ABC is Disney-owned. Disney is notoriously left-wing.

Peter Jennings, anyone?

>>5471656
they won't do this, guaranteed. Because it's a CORPORATE message, and corporations love gun control.

>>5471571
Exactly! Not holding my breath for next week.
Probably wont lose its phony feel. Oh well

Some day the peasants will become too smart to sequester. THAT day is when the singularity will change everthing.

America is the counter argument to this.

>>5471783
HAHAHAHAHAH

Theres nothing wrong with Peter Jennings.
I'd say Disney is mostly apolitical. Family friendly films without overdoing any religious themes. Again, OP is over thinking it.

>>5471833
Well, family friendly films, yes. But bear in mind that Disney also pushes some fairly left-wing issues. Socially, mainly.

Like, I vaguely remember Disney World having a Gay and Lesbian Discount Day back in the 90's, when that crap was even more controversial than it is now.

Of course, Eisner was still in charge then, so they may have shifted a bit politically since then.

>>5471879
WHY THE FUCK IS SOMEONES SEXUALITY A POLITICAL ISSUE?

Shut up, Hoffman! You lost!

>>5471905

uh... marriage equality?
Not sure if troll

ITT naive infantile nerds trying desperately to stave off maturity and the onset of the necessity to have a world view

>>5471907
HAHAHAH
I just thought "phoney" and saw this marionettes face. Had to post

>>5471905
Its a crazy world :(

fucken thing sucks

>>5471916
Again, what does sexuality have to do with marriage? Other than America not observing the civil rights of millions, of course. I guess it's about civil rights and pursuit of happiness for homosexuals, and in that regard I suppose you can't avoid making the issue political... But I'm just saying that I'm confused why sexuality, a private issue, is such a big deal for Conservatards who pride themselves on being champions of autonomous life decisions with little interference from government.

>>5472020

Well, for starters, conservatives are traditionally fiscally individualists and moral collectivists. Homosexuality falls in a moral category for them, I guess. If they disagree with it, they don't think anyone ought to be able to do it. I'm a liberal, so I don't agree with that philosophy, but that's politics, I guess

The Visitors infiltrated society to cause unnecessary wars, facilitate a global financial meltdown, and spread religious extremism.

Sounds like they're Republicans.

>>5472111
