Hi All,
Im not sure if any of you remember this series or if it has been discussed on here before, but i think many of you who wonder about David Icke and the
like should look at this TV series that only ran 1 season.
So i wonder who got the idea for this one?
Interesting none the less.
Maybe the thruth is stranger than fiction?
Peace.

earth.
Peace.

I watched it a couple of years ago on Sci-Fi along with Steven Spielbergs "Taken". I preferred Taken as it was more recently made and had a great
storyline. I believe David Icke may have been influenced by V and some other things but added more conspiracies and groups into the mix.
I used to think he was on to something with his theories (reptilians and all) but then again I also believed Prophet Yahweh spoke the truth. (the
balloon summoner) I even sent him an email or 2 asking him about "calling down ufos".

Creators of the series originally wanted V to be a straight drama, about the rise of Fascism in the United States, inspired by "It Could Never Happen
Here." However, NBC wanted a Sci-Fi series to capitalize on the success of Star Wars, so the creators retooled their idea to fit in aliens.
Aside from having reptilian aliens disguised as humans, V was a far-cry from anything David Ickes talks about. According to Ickes, the reptilians are
shape-shifters, but in V they actually wear disguises. In Ickes, they are already here, manipulating society; such is not the case in V. There the
appear one day in massive ships over cities. And so forth and so forth...

Just because David Icke's theories don't match the TV show V exactly, that doesn't mean he wasn't influenced by it. V was clearly around
before Icke and his reptilian theories were. I'm also pretty sure that he's used images from V in some of his speakings. The aliens in V were based
on the Nazi's. That's clearly seen in their symbol which resembles a swastika. If you watch the original movie you can see the Nazi connection a lot
more than the later episodes. It's also talked about on the DVD commentary.
Kenneth Johnson, the V creator, (he also created Alien Nation and I believe he also brought The Incredible Hulk to TV) is bringing V back incase
nobody knew that. He wants to do a couple big screen films and then bring it to TV after that. Robert Englund (Willy the friendly alien/Freddy
Krueger) and Marc Singer (the TV camera man/star of the original) have already said they'd come back for anything new.
Robert Englund has said he gets recognized more for playing Willy than he does for playing Freddy Krueger and he loves the fact that the show still
has a lot of die-hard fans and gets new fans all the time.
