apologies my readers, it's been awhile.

Ok, I haven't posted since September, so in penance I promise to actually watch the new Twilight film at some point and review it for you all.
There you go, I suffer so you don't have to.

Eventually I will post an article discussing the state of American economics and the job market, but I don't have the brain power for that right now.

So you get a review of a new TV series.

"V"
TV show takes place in present-day, and is just aawful.
Basic premise is that suddenly aliens arrive at earth and claim to be peaceful and such but end up being ruthless conquerors.
Normally the whole "we're here to take over your planet" thing would be revealed later in the series. Nope, Pilot episode, all of the secrets are revealed.
Not only do they reveal it to the audience, they reveal it to the characters too. So now instead of a series about tracking conspiracy, it's a show about a cast of "Cassandra's" (Greek prophet who was doomed to see the future but have no-one believe her).
This is a premise that is tired before the show even gets going. It's like if "X-Files" had been a show about two civilians who knew that aliens existed are were anally probing everyone, but nobody believed them. Seriously, here's the dialogue for the whole series:
Whackjobs: "Dude! There are totally aliens out there!"
Everyone else: "Yea, sure whatever."
Whackjobs: "No seriously! They are out there and they are trying to anally rape us."
Everyone else: "(awkward laugh) yea, no, you need to go away now."
Whackjobs: "They really Do! I have Alien Love-Juice in my anus right now!"
Everyone else: (Calls security, police, FBI, Aliens, goddamn anyone to get these people away from them and locked up in a looney bin)

So yea, Skip "V", it's been done before, and better. This is literally the movie "Species" but with more aliens.
