I just saw this today and found it rather interesting:

I have always been a fan of the original V since I was a boy. When I first began learning of David Icke and the Reptilian Agenda I first dismissed it as Sci-Fi nonsense, mainly because of things I remembered from my youth such as V now I am more and more open to the idea.

As I've become more aware of the reality of our world, I started looking back at things, such as V. Hollywood is, I believe notorious for creating an indirect form of misinformation. I can summarize my idea with this simple formula:

make movie/show related to conspiracy theory + overdramatize it and commercialize it = people less likely to ever believe it because they saw it in a movie once (oh that's nonsense I saw it on V)

National Treasures movies, Davinci Code/Angels & Demons, etc...

Makes me lol

Let's see...hope, change, trust, blind devotion...and fascism.

Not like that's sending a message or anything!

The original series was FANTASTIC as an allegory for Nazism and blind trust in those offering "change", and this version initially looks to carry exactly the same message. Without a doubt, people WILL see this and do the maths.

And remember...V for Victory!

Idiots.

It's all bout how "bad" the lizards are. Who do you think benefits?

WAR!

No it's not.

If I recall the Lizards they were fighting were a 'bad' / renegade faction, there were also human sympathisers and so on too :)

To let everyone know. Here is a book from the writer/producer of the original V miniseries. http://www.amazon.com/V-Second-Generation-Kenneth-Johnson/dp/0765359324/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243073080&sr=1-1 I thought it was pretty good. Heres to hoping the new series is just as good as the last.:)

So the MSM are not to be trusted, they are a bunch-o-lizards making slaves out of the humans. So the MSM do a film where the lizards are cast in a negative light and it's all good and believable, a message. Okay...
Maybe the MSM is trying to draw humans away from the lizard and Draco with some dragon imagery I saw in the trailer.
Maybe some people want to be turned away, then again, those who are turned away, do we really need them anyway?
Disclaimer, tongue in cheek. ;)

1) The original V series was a strong allegorical warning against fascism, and that if fascists took over, they should be resisted whenever possible.

Remember the original icon? Join up the dots.

2) Considering the vogue for remakes and reboots, what would be the reason anyone could give to NOT produce a reboot of V?

3) The Visitors are still reptilian extraterrestrials in disguise from what I've seen in the trailer.

Though I've noticed the biggest difference between the original and the remake:

Today, the world woke up to find spaceships over every major city. The Visitors claim to have come in peace, bringing gifts of medical miracles and technological breakthroughs. They promise to do no harm. They're lying.

Most people believe the aliens have arrived just when we needed them most. We're eager to embrace their generous offers of help, but while tracking a terrorist cell, Homeland Security agent Erica Evans stumbles upon something far more sinister. Erica discovers that the aliens have plans to infiltrate our governments and businesses, planting seeds for their plot to control mankind. Convincing anyone of the truth will be impossible because the Visitors have two powerful weapons. First, they've given the people faith with their reassuring presence and gifts. Second, they've rallied our youth. Thousands of teens, including Erica's son, have been recruited as 'Peace Ambassadors' but they're actually serving as unwitting spies. When Erica gets thrust into the resistance movement, she'll have to balance her covert activities with her job and her role as a mother, fighting to protect her son Tyler - even as he joins forces with the enemy.

In the original, it was regular, everyday people who rose up against the Visitors...now its a government agent?

And just found this from Scott Peters, the new writer:

The original "V" served as an allegory for the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. Peters said he won’t duplicate that concept, except that the new "V" will still focus on what happens when the masses have blind faith in their leaders.

If they end up doing with "V" what they did to "The Day the Earth Stood Still", I'm going to be pissed off.

I think yer gonna be pissed. Looks stupid and cool at the same time.

Yeah! I get it now, the eastern dragon on the sleeve of one of the "soldiers" the red uniforms, the significance of the eyes and the pretending to be your friend while actually taking over. This isn't about reptiles, true the last one was about fascism, this one is about the Chinese! I get it now. :p
