I just watched the first nine minutes of the remake of "V". Aside from my conviction that it will be difficult to make this as good as the original mini-series, I'm wondering about the reaction of the general public to giant space ships in the sky. I guess there would be panic and mayhem, but I'm not really sure that makes sense. I think if aliens really came to destroy us or do other generally bad things, they'd just do it before we even had a moment to realize what was going on. You don't hover over a spider and introduce yourself before squashing it, do you? Ok, so cats do, but I think it's been clear for a long time that if the aliens are feline in nature, we're screwed. Even if they like us they'll bat us around and puke on us a couple of times.
That's all.
That's all.
