CLEVELAND, OHIO - The Institute for Non-pointless Endeavors is unashamed to announce the results of their study, "A Comparison of the 1984 and 2008 Editions of the Novelization of the Television Miniseries V."

The study concludes that the epilogue is the only new content of any substance.

The full 37-page report has been burned as an offering to an unspecified god who provided funding.

interesting artIcle about #KennethJohnson, the creator of the 80’s #VTheSeries. Originally conceived along the lines of #ItCantHappenHere, the network forced him to add Aliens, believing that Americans wouldn’t “get” a story about fascism. Fired after the first mini series, he is now trying to bring it back as a film. Meanwhile, Qanon types have adopted his work in the totally opposite direction - as an example of the “Lizard People” trope.

Started watching the remake series of V. I’m 3 episodes in and find it interesting how they condensed so much of the original in two episodes.

I put off a long time to watch it since the original was a major event when I was 9. It taught me about fascism and how it infects a democracy. All this from the creator Kenneth Johnson who is also behind the remake.

He also developed and adapted Alien Nation for TV. Another social conscious achievement about racism and immigration.

Anywho.
