I've just realised something: If Willie was meant to go to an Arabic country why was he given an English name? Shouldn't he have been given a name that would have made it easy to pronounce in Arabic?
Julie was praying she wouldn’t lose any of her fellow resistance members. Then, she remembers they left three mirrors back at the hideout. Disaster follows!
Didn't Mike already overhear them talking about dumping the chemicals they make on Earth after they bring them up because they don't really need them?
Yes the science is bad, with regards to water in space...but look at this way, here on Earth, they get water AND food...2 for the price of 1 trip! lol
That cop has the right idea when it comes to resistance. Keep a low profile and keep the inside angle while appearing to be a loyal average joe. This guy alone can do more resistance than any massive organisation could get away with.
So much bad science in V. Repitles hating heat but loving cold, then this buisness of water being the rarest stuff in the universe. I think in 1983 Kenneth Johnson felt that since there is as of yet NO LIQUID water found in our solar system that it must be a rare commodity. Nothing on Mars right? Wow water is rare. But hydrogen and oxygen are two of the most abundant molecules in the universe, there is plenty of iced water all around the universe.
@gothatway09 I am also bothered by the failings of the political allegory, especially in The FInal Battle. First they cut over the more complicated stuff about how the bad ones in the Visitors took control, so xenophobia is still an appropriate response. Then they make so much of a big deal about the Nazi comparison and then use a biological weapon for a genocide solution! That is not just lazy, it is immoral!
The Final Battle was not written by Kenneth Johnson and is NOT how he intended to continue the series. They used some of his characters but overall he himself doesn't even count The Final Battle as canon. In my mind the Final Battle starts of rather well but has some weak parts. Overall the ending is not as bad as Kenneth Johnson thinks it is. In fact some would argue this was the only way to finish the series and have a happy ending for the tv viewers.
For all we know the visitors told the truth when they told their planet was having severe environmental problems and what little water they have is surely barely enough for minimal survival.
Now forget about all that ice on planets all over the universe. That was never the point of this series. It's an allegory of the nazi take-over in 1930's Germany, and was originally written as such.
Most sci fi shows and movies make zero sense, a lot less than V in fact.
If you want bad science take a look at "Signs". Aliens that have never once encountered water in a water filled universe and are dumb enough not to know about the humidity, vaporized water, rain and a whole planet mostly covered with seas. They master interstellar travel but can't bash down a wooden door and forget to bring their rayguns. Not to mention they would have lasted 2 minutes against anybody with a gun in the USA, which would be virtually everybody. Water kills aliens...
Meh, if any alien were in need of water, he would just need to harvest ice- and there's plenty of that outside the earth. But oh well, it's just a plot line.
