“Sooner or later we’ll all of us be on the menu.”
Kanamits arrive on earth and immediately make everything better. They promise humans that they will bring the world peace by installing force fields between the nations that will not allow weapons to penetrate (take that, Homeland Security). They have some secret energy source that will power everything we use (they were green before green was cool), and they have secret fertilizer that will make arid soil flourish and there will be plenty of food for all mankind (and they did all this before there was an Earth Day or a Sierra Club). When the king of the Kanamits lets us little people know what he will do for the world he says, "We ask only that you trust us, only that you simply trust us." Sounds like a great deal. I'm all in! "Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can!"

Your Say
You need to update to the present, with the re-do of "V," which is coming back tomorrow night. These are the aliens who are bringing us "universal health care," and organizing our youth, and bringing "hope and change" (from last season's script, I swear). The "V"s even have the media in their corner.
I wonder how this show will fare and be interpreted in the current political climate? Rumor had it that last season the White House folks had pressured the shows makers to 'tone down the rhetoric' or something. So far, that's just a rumor, maybe from Drudge, I don't know.
