...do female Visitors actually, you know, have "mammary glands" if they're not mammals? Or is it all part of the flesh-costume? In other words, its not real? #v

And everything since (with the exception of SG-1) she's done everything she can to look as bad as she possibly can. I appreciate necks as much as the next person, but that outfit isn't going to win any awards. Or fans. "Dude she's hot" no. No frat boy is going to say "Dude she's hot" to that woman. Not even drunk ones. #v

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.........
"Anna, swallow your hamster.
If you don't swallow your hamster, you can't expect to grow up to be an alien overlord.
Reptiles won't follow you and drunken earthling scum won't want to fuck you.
Swallow your hamster." #v

unlike when other actors talk about the company and lawyers, and how those groups control what they can say.
it's very respectful.
Morena Baccarin FTW #v

I think it gives her a very nice predator look which is what I think they're going for with her character.
Just my opinion. #v

But I think you redeemed yourself with the "due to some kind of sporting event". *giggle*

No they aren't at all. There's only one black main character (and potentially the character's girlfriend) in the whole show. #v

Actually, he's really one of the 4 main characters. So he should only be half black. #v

It always takes me out of the show a little to see that. *Shrug* But that's just me. #v

For everyone obsessing over Morena Baccarin's neck, yes it really is that long. #v

To be honest, though, as a Canadian I hardly ever say Good Day, or G'day, to people; and other Canadians rarely say it to me.
On the other hand, I have frequently employed the secret handshake. #v

And again, I know I'm being anal, but "aboot" is definitely an East coast thing. I didn't think Canucks actually said it until I saw Trailer Park Boys. #v

What's the deal with all the claims of "it's just a TV show" after years of how the "re-imagined" Battlestar Galactica was "critically acclaimed" as a "social commentary" on 9/11 and Iraq?
V could be considered a cautionary tale on surface appearances being misleading or a sci-fi update on "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". #v

I think they have a point, although I disagree with them on what exactly it is.
A charismatic leader from Parts Unknown shows up to offer long life, healing, and prosperity. Turns out he's a killer with crazy eyes and skin straight out of a Ferragamo look book, who wants to seduce your daughters and eat your vermin.
The fact is that prior to the crazy Right-wing tantrum of the past 9 months, nobody in his/her right mind would even ask if the show was a commentary on a sitting U.S. president.
So it's not really a case of the emperor having no clothes. It's just that the villagers are a bunch of crazy pervs who ordered a bunch of those comic-book X-Ray Specs and now like to scream and point at his Imperial Junk. #v
