Its open to interptation people. That is what is so great about most Sci-Fi. “Why do I get the feeling that after the “universal healthcare” comment made on V last night that there will be conservatives out there not only proclaiming that the president was not born in this country but is in fact a reptile from outer space here on a mission to wipe out the human race?”

I remember the first ground braking series on ABC, and the slow revelation of what the "Visitors" were up to. The acting was mediocre and the special effects were wonderful for the time. This V loads it up in the first hour. The script, action and special effects are superb. Great actors with good roles. Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet of Lost) is a major star and, as in Lost, is wonderful. The V'ers are even more beautiful, elegant, and seductive than in the first series ... and more deadly. And when Chad, a sycophantic TV interviewer [Scott Wolff] interviews the beautiful spokesperson, Anna [Morena Baccarin of Firefly] "Don't be frightened. We mean no harm." And she pushes the need to increase the "medical centers" to "help" humans. Chad says, "Like Universal Health Care?!" Anna, "Exactly'. Be afraid, be very afraid. I was a sceptic about V.

“Don’t be frightened. We mean no harm.”

And she pushes the need to increase the “medical centers” to “help” humans.

Chad says, “Like Universal Health Care?!”

Anna, “Exactly’.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Forgotten is at that position that its not really dropping, but its at a low steady level of around 2.0 and 7 million viewers. My guess is that once Dancing leaves and the comedies premiere, (December 1) The Forgotten will dip to a series low and then the series will get pulled after December 8 or 15. So its likely that around 2-3 episodes will remain unaired should ABC choose to pull th series then. Id just burn the series off in the quiet month of December but ABC wouldnt do that.
