As for V – given what I’ve seen so far, I remain cautiously optimistic, but so far the show has failed to overwhelm me, or indeed whelm me at all. So I don’t mind the long hiatus that much – I figure November was basically one long pilot episode, and now that the show has a solid viewership this probably won’t happen again.

And by the way: yeah, the show is definitely sticking it to Obama’s Hopenchange, and I love every second of it. About time the Left got a taste of of the crap conservatives have been eating for eight years, even though the criticism is incredibly veiled and mild in comparison with “Bush is the Devil!!!”-like subtlety we’ve gotten used to. Remember how Clancy Brown, CIA spook extraordinaire, had to teach poor Sayid to become a torturer? Because heaven knows Saddam’s regime or the Iraqis would NEVER stoop this low!

As for the scene above – damn, I didn’t remember it being this funny.
