Well no wonder it has been so chilly Steve and I actually agree on something....I have always loved Morena since I first saw her on Firefly as Inara.

And Tann with Bumpers like that it just means you can hit it that much harder....

Eagleted: You know all I saw was a retelling of an 80s cult classic that itself was justthe retelling (very thinly veiled) of the rise of the nazi's. Yeah maybe hollywood threw a few thigns in there that can be considered right wing, or left wing or whatever but the bottom line for the producers is get people talkign about the show, tell the story, sell commercials and probably action figures and playsets and comic books and novels and whatever else marketing tie in they can think of if the show takes off big enough.

As for Jericho I had no problem with the imagery in that show as I could see the right wing trying to pull somethign like that. I mean there isnt that much difference between the right wing and the terrorists. Jennings and Rall equalled Haliburton, Ravenwood equalled Blackwater.

There just is no clear parallells in neo-V like that. So far we have not exactly seen much of anything that hasnt been seen or done before. Its all happened before it will happen again in hollywood.
