I used to always be amazed that they would continually send Mike and Julie to do stuff when they were the Visitors two most wanted surely it would have made more sense to send someone else! still loved this show!!
I think it's great how Donovan got a little more modern in this chapter and has a smaller handheld camera and not the gigantic dinosaur of a video camera he had to lug around when he was shooting video of the guerillas or of the V's in the first half of the original miniseries. Although that monster proved to be quite an effective melee weapon once or twice.
In my mind they could have cut this "Visitors drying the water out of California" part out altogether. It only served as statement that the resistance by now was a well organized force that could take out any visitors and sabotage their plans.
Don't like the use of stock footage from "Earthquake" either. Especially since it showed that the resistance actually managed to destroy more property than the visitors had up to that point and cause a major flooding disaster too.
Ah, 80's porn movie music complete with Jazz Flute flourish. Classic!
Makes you think, if the Visitors had technology that could prevent fighter jets from firing missiles at their mother ships, and desalinate 2 trillion tons of sea water - yet they could not create their own water from hydrogen and oxygen - two of the most common elements in the Universe. Hmmmm...cue the Jazz Flute!
I really don't think the creators thought through what the visitors reverberations meant. They did not use it when Willie was first introduced and struggling with the language, and I thought it was something like Farscape's Translator microbes. Other times it is the voice box, and then they drop it for no reason.
It would of been more believeable if they'd sent Ironside on the recon, the aliens would all know what Marc and Julie look lie, even under shades. they did not even wear wigs or anything to disguise themselves.
It would take me a six pack or two to do the blonde, I don't like her too much. Diana on the other hand is a no brainer. But it would take her a full Budweiser truck load to do me , I assume....It sucks to be me ..
@bibbler9 yeah, I'm with bibbler there. Its a stretch. Then again, in Star Wars, Princess Leia, financier and main coordinator for the rebel efforts was flying around on recon missions getting shot at. It's the spirit of cinema, or some dumbass thing like that.
@bibbler9 Yep as 12 year old it didn't seem awry - but a quarter of century on it is daft beyond belief. It would be ok if the rebel leaders were not so well known but their images would be broadcast over the airwaves morning, noon and night - by Fox News
This is my issue with any movies. It is so unrealistic since they seem to have all the time in the world to have sex while the world is in peril. I mean seriously, if these were real aliens, do they think they'd run on their schedule and wait until their done having sex before taking over the earth.
I do know that, but usually they're the ones who end up dying because they couldn't take the time to save themselves first. The ones who have sex in the movies seem to that the time to do it and get out of trouble because it's a movie. There are 365 days in a year, I'm sure sex can be put of and take care of something more serious.
what an ingenious plan! let's send mike and julie, the two most wanted and recognized rebels, on a recon mission...and not one of the douche bag guards recognizes them? remember when the horseback riders instantly knew it was Donovan? whatever works for the story at that particular time, i guess.
Jfaddis, Good point. The lizards on the horses noticed Donavon right off the bat, but didn't noticed Julie & Donavon at the front gate???---At least they made it out & are smooching w/each other on an abandoned Amtrax Train.
Whinny Palestinians? Let say some Native Americans came into your town and kicked everybody out put them in a reservation put a wall around to it and cut your family off from all the basic needs of daily life cuz they used to live there. What you gonna do?What would you do if some other people came in and steal your resources, blow away your house and killed your family members? Smile and say 'Thank you'? You would too, wouldn't you, you spineless bush dick sucking faggoty maggot.
I would rather be an idiot than a bigot any day. At least you can educate an idiot eventually. You own shit. Go back to your pussy ass ice hockey bitch slapping and leave the real fighting to those of us who are awake. Back to the flock with you. Night, night, sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Simmer down pup. Here's a reality check for you. Those poor Arabs benefit from the west's consumption of oil. It is the only marketable commodity in Persia and Arabia. Without oil Iran's Islamic Revolution and Iraq's incursion into Kuwait wouldn't have mattered to anyone beyond that region. It is industrialized nations who give that region pertinence on the world stage and thus their people a voice. I guess, in a way, were kind of like saviours. God bless the free enterprise system.
You dumb fuck. It's not the Arabs as whole that benefits from Oil but few families that we have hand picked, just like Donovan's mother or Daniel. For the rest of them, they suffer for it. Pea brains like you don't deserve the free enterprise. You wouldn't know what freedom is even if it fucked you in the ass with Cheney's dick.

So, since there is a lack of wealth distribution in the Middle East the west is at fault. Grow up, the land divisions at the conclusion of the Second World War was an awfully long time ago. Surely to god, if the disparities were so bad there would have been internal corrections. That's what the Islamic Revolution did in part in Iran and it is what Nigeria has experienced for the last 20+ years. If they thought life was tough with oil I'd hate to see them without a marketable commodity.
It's funny that you bring the only country in ME that we don't have the control over. So you must be admitting that in the countries we do have the control over it's our fault? I didn't think it would be this easy to convince a numb nut. Or are you trying to say the Iranians had better life under Shah? Make up your mind, you can't have both. Or do you not see the difference? In that case go suck more Cheney's dick and die.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think that Arab peoples have a tendency to point an accusing finger at others for the problems rather than looking inward at their own self-destructive tendencies. From the whiny Palestinians to the abrasive Syrians we see these parties look to the west for solice and solutions to their hate filled, bitter relations. Then, when attempts are made to find a middle ground, those parties walk away from the negotiating table so that they can continue their destructive ways. It's getting old.
I agree that the Visitors should have used their native tongues. The humans would never been able to learn them fast enough to speak to the Visitors and situations such as the above would not have happened.
It would be more believable if the visotors talked in their own language.. But I guess the writers didnt think of that.Actually Kenneth Johnson had nothing to do with the sequel. Thats why he's writing the new novel which doesnt include the "Final Battle"
The Visitors purposely learned All the Languages spoken on Earth before they got here. It was part of their Deception. They wanted Us to believe "they were just like Us."
Actually the Visitors were not "allowed to" speak their own language not even on the Motherships.
That's certainly a convenient plot device. I wonder if they're required to completely emulate the body language and mannerisms of every human culture they inhabit, even on the Motherships. One might think an advanced alien society might want to leave itself slightly less open to rebel infiltration.
At 1 million gallons per second it would take the aliens 12 million years to steal all the earths water. With a thousand ships it would take 12 000 years. Of course it would take much less time to collect all the fresh water, but since energy is not an issue for them, there really is no reason to target fresh water (that's just a bit of 1980s eco-polotics creeping in).
The horseback sentries recognized Donovan by sight, but these sentries blithely let a well-known terrorist into the plant because he happened to have the right passes?
Also, why would engineers carry side arms? Willie didn't!
A boy was watching this scene when the series first aired and became so concerned over the lack of Visitor security that he later developed the facial-recognition software now used by airports and secure facilities!
