V - the original miniseries - chapter 8

Fifty spaceships, each three miles across, hover ominously above Earth's major cities. The Visitors that emerge are humanlike in appearance and extend the hand of friendship. Our planet's resources are just what these aliens need to survive. And for it's future survival, unsuspecting humankind will need... a miracle!

The child is only about 4 or 5. She has no idea that what is happening is not a day-to-day event. To her it's just another boring television program for adults. Notice how the oldest character played by Leonardo Cimino is the most suspicious as he's the most experienced with "peaceful" invasions...

old it may be, Bu tthis show cost a million dollars an episode. THATS a hell of alot for 1983. Todays tochnology will just swarm us with computer graphics and it will lose some of its naturalness. they are re releasing it soon.

[stopthesoftkill]

@nyran125 they did already, wall to wall CGI.

diana is so much better than the chick in the new miniseries. everything is better than the new miniseries

[TheTomtomdonk]

this old 80s show is far better than the new one.

@jayhouser yes. very astute comment, btw. Portrayed as a holocaust survivor (while his wife, he said, was marched off to the gas chambers!) Cimino (Abraham Bernstein) had that History to look back on and draw conclusions from. He'd told Ruby that he said back in 1938 it was different; but it obviously wasn't!

How stupid of me, I only now recalled that Diana is a goddess name in occultism, like Isis, Venus, etc., all of which comes back to Lucifer, which comes back to Sirius. The goddess is either the light of the (morning) star or reflects it as a being of the night, such as a moon. One of the key characteristics of such a goddess is regeneration/rebirth, especially through the transfer of purity via some ritual or sacrifice. The relationship between v Diana and Robin is interesting this way.

@jayhouser

Ya, I remember I was only in pre-school when 9-11 happened, and I kept getting bored seeing video clip after video clip of a plane hitting the world trade center. I now understand it was no boring program for adults, but a horrible and scary time for everyone.

@MercuryRis

it always is, it's probably just maturity. but I don't think it is the lack of music since there seems to be plenty. But if you think this is flat check out the super friends lol

[MercuryRis]

There's something sort of "flat" about all this. No music maybe? Its different from when I was a kid, lol.
