on TV part 2

ABC is remaking the 1983 sci-fi serial V. The original was a thinly veiled allegory of the Nazi rise to power and this time around it looks like it hasn't lost any of its social commentary. The basic premise is that a technologically advanced alien race lands on earth to refuel its ships offering all kinds of goodies including universal healthcare that they use to entice the youth to support them. It comes to Light that they have infiltrated high government positions. Underneath their beautiful appearance and utopian rhetoric are evil reptilian beasts trying to subjugate the human race. See where this is going?
