When I first heard liberals [1] howling about supposed anti-Obama messages in ABC’s [2] new sci-fi drama “V [3],” I rolled my eyes. The story of Earth falling for the false promises of sinister aliens may sound like the Barack Obama [4] Hope-&-Change Tour 2008, but it’s hardly a new theme for the science-fiction genre—not only did “The Twilight Zone” famously tackle it [5] way back when, but “V” itself is actually a direct remake of a TV miniseries that first aired in 1983 [6]. Any resemblance between the 44th President [4] and two-faced space lizards had to be coincidental…at least, that’s what I thought before Sean Hannity [7] aired clips from the new show.
The first clip shows a gullible teenager eagerly promoting the Vs’ agenda through the World Wide Web:
I’m not obsessed…well, y’know what, the Vs, they call it spreading hope.
Okay, maybe that does sound kind of familiar. Next, Hannity highlights a scene in which an attractive, smooth-talking V representative sits down for an interview:
V: Be sure not to ask anything that would paint us in a negative light.
HOST: Excuse me?
V: Don’t ask any questions that would portray us negatively.
HOST: This is just how it’s done. I swear I’ll be fair.
V: You’ll need to be more than fair if you want to proceed. We can’t be seen in a negative light…We want to provide complete medical services to all.
HOST: You’re talking about universal healthcare.
V: I believe that’s what you call it, yes.
[emphasis added]
Stop the presses! Hope-bringers who won’t tolerate [8] an adversarial media, because it would distract [9] people from the cause of health care reform [10]? It’s certainly a breath of fresh air from mainstream entertainment’s usual modus operandi [11]. Now that’s change we can believe in!
Somebody in Hollywood [12] must have been asleep at the switch in order for “V’s” thoughtcrimes [13] to make it past the drawing board, but now that the Left has noticed, it’s time to crack down [14]:
Naturally, when a show debuts to huge ratings and mostly great reviews, the producer’s career is golden. Not this time. Apparently the network who gave Obama an infomercial [15] and refuses to release the “Path to 9/11″ DVD [16] decided to replace the show runner Scott Peters before the pilot even aired. [17] In fact, ABC hosted a big visit by press people last Monday, but Peters was notably absent. Exec producer Steve Pearlman spoke with the reporters.
Peters has been demoted to exec producer, a largely honorary title and has been replaced by former “The Shield” and “Chuck” alum Scott Rosenbaum. [18]
ABC [2] might try to clamp down on any political dissent in “V’s” future, but they can’t just re-write the episodes that have already been filmed, and viewers definitely seem to like [19] the show just as it is. Meddling with the creative team for the sake of partisan politics could result in a far less appealing product, so “V’s” reptilian masters will have to decide if “they’ll need to be more than fair if they want to proceed.”
