Blogging without an audience isn't the most interesting thing to do with my time. So I watch TV instead. But then I go to work the next day, and Keir demands an update, which reminds me that actually, I do have an audience (hooray) but they just don't 2.0 it up and comment back. That or I'm not writing anything worth commenting on.

Which is fine, because I kinda feel like talking about what TV I watched last night.

A new show from the colonies 'V', starring Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk (y'know, Wash and Inara from Firefly) as well as Joel Gretch (y'know, Tom Baldwin from The 4400) instantly hooked my affection through some abstract support of cancelled classics. Add to the mix Juliette from Lost and there really becomes no argument for any heterosexual male not to watch. Also, seeing as Six Feet Under alumni spotting is always fun, Keith's black bodyguard friend's in it (though he was a bit rubbish).

Aside from listing cast though, it's about very attractive aliens coming to Earth and wanting to make peace with us all, except they some sinister little plot going on behind the scenes, and know how to work the media.

While I was watching, I convinced myself that the aliens represented evangelist Christians, but that inevitably won't be true (though how good will that be if it was?). The good guys consist of a disillusioned priest, a manipulated journalist, and a mother who's son has been wooed by the peaceful and friendly propaganda. It's a long shot, but that's what I'm hoping for.

At the same time though, the aliens bring promise of hope, peace, health care, a love affair with liberal press, CHANGE. Perhaps an anti-Obama sci-fi? Hmm.

Nah, it's probably just about sexy aliens, and I always had a soft spot for Species, so I'll just keep watching for now.
