OMG, I LOVED V. (didn't really mean to asscap the whole thing, just the "loved" part) But, I loved that freakin' show. Remember when Diana unhinged her jaw to eat the rat? Good times.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

The original V miniseries was awesome. It had echoes of Nazi Germany in the persecution of scientists and a very real sense of what it would be like to organize a resistance movement in the U.S. The second miniseries and the series had their moments, but they're also what gave me the conviction that "human-alien baby" equals "jumped the shark."

I liked the flicking lizard tongues.

yes, they even had the elderly neighbor who'd been in a concentration camp. He was the one who started the "V" symbol.

The only thing I really remember from V is that the rats were made of chocolate.

One of the actresses in an interview got asked about having to eat the rats and she said they were actually made of chocolate so it was fine. That's the detail that stuck with me.

Oh, okay. That is less ridiculous. I thought you meant the rats were really made of chocolate on the show. I would rather have chocolate rats!

"Cougar Town" ???
I think that's actually about a sports team and there's another show that's like MILF Island, but I could be entirely mistaken.

If Willy Wonka gets co-opted by the alien invaders we are all in trouble.
