This weekend I rented the entire "V" series, and did a marathon session in front of the "Goggle Box". Probably addled my brains in the process, but.... What struck me most wasn't the deplorable acting, or the dated special effects, but rather the fact that the entire series started coming across as a massive training video! A "What to do when aliens take over" type of thing. I got the distinct impression that there was a measure of a hidden message in this film, definitely more so than in more artistically and technically correct films with a similar theme that I have seen. The concept of a reptoid alien with a human skin-covering is obviously a bit far-fetched, but what about the symbolism here? That reptilian aliens are using our planet as a source of food and water under the guise of certain human or human-sanctioned operations? That certain humans have "sold out" our planet in return for technology? That we aren't THAT far away from a "Fourth Reich" type of New World Order, sponsored and controlled by alien forces? Maybe I've just read too much Branton and Cooper..... Maybe John Velez has more of a right to be apprehensive than most of us imagine. Jakes E. Louw louwje@telkom.co.za +27 12 311-2668 082 923 6144
