TV is ruined

Scary. As. ****. For. An. 80s. Kid.

I don't remember finding it scary, but I was definitely entertained.

The first V was awesome. Great historical parallels to Nazi Germany, right down to the aliens' logo looking like a futuristic swastika.

And, for fun:

I was eight. This image stayed in my head until I was 11.

PR, did that really happen? That jaw thing? I totally missed that as a kid.

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

Yeah, it was the scene where TV journalist Mike Donovan was making his way through one of the motherships and filmed a couple of Visitors eating. Then he went into the next room and fought a lizard.

I have never been as scared in my life as I was in V: The Final Battle when the lady gave birth to the baby...and everyone thought he was a human and that the lizard hadn't procreated...and then he flicked his tongue. I swear, I screamed so loud I must have woken up the entire state. Didn't sleep a wink that night and rambled all day the next day to my fellow fifth-graders how the lizard baby scared the ever holy hell out of me.

****. That really messed me up.

Yeah, they were pretty blatant with the Nazi thing. Sympathizers turning people over to the Visitors. I think there was even a concentration camp survivor that helped a family escape capture.

Your memories are both correct, OOP and BYH.

(V makes strange bedfellows` . . . )

What's funny about the alien birth is that the tongue, to my recollection, flung out dramatially. Watching it now, it looks like an effect. Ah, the mind of a nine-year-old.

MY search for the baby's twin, the lizard which died soon after, bore no fruit.

I give thee Enos.

Looks like another sleepless night coming my way.

I'll hunt you down, find you and fight you for this, Piotr. After I catch up to my sleep, of course.

My mom still probably has the worksheet from kindergarten listing my favorite things. Favorite TV show: Enos. Some great taste I had.

Oh, and my latest love offering.

The lizard baby was the moment V went from excellent drama to cheese.



I like you too, BYH.

;D ;D ;D

And, for what it's worth . . .I'll now be seeing the lizard baby in my dreams tonight. The wife will make fun of me wanting to keep the light on . . .
