Frustrated with the new V

My ABC Post:

A number of people have posted comments in varying ways about this, but I thought I would broaden it a little. The thing I find immediately disturbing is the degree to which there is a lack in numbers of people of varying color,/race, nationality, age, etc. across the board. The old V had numerous African American charcters, latinos, Asian-Americans, etc. The old V had a few religious differences. The old V was multi-generational! (Remember the old lady throwing malotov cocktails into a space ship?) The old V had a woman as the leaders of both the aliens and the resistance (about the only thing they seemed to have maintained from the old show). More importantly, the old V focused on the power of the scientific community as well as law enforcement and the religious.

V was in part powerful because it enabled us to see a world - a spectrum of humanity - in the fight against the Aliens. More importantly, for those people of color who continue to be absent from television in any kind of substantial way beyond one person of color per show, it allowed us to see ourselves reflected on the small screen in all kinds of variations (on the side of the resistance and the aliens).

I mean, old V had atleast FIVE black characters and TWO Asian-Americans- NOT including the background or the one show appearances. That's not just a lot for a show then, its more than a show thats on tv NOW. I find it difficult that a show which was so amazing in its breath of showing many people - despite age, race, sex, religion, or nationality - could be translated to what I saw in this pilot. I will try to hang on a little longer to see what they do with the show, but if I dont see other humans other than white people in this show in greater numbers than the usual 1 per show, I'm going to loose interest and they'll loose my viewership.

I'm a southern belle meets black nationalist with an international flava. I'm a historian and a brainy chick, so dont come with the dumb isht. I like it when you reach my level.

I have many passions - travel and history being at the top. Love Chinese and Japanese history, but the American 1960s civil rights, black power, red power, yellow power, white power, brown power movements are the events which define me as a person and an intellect.

I like PBS, Sci-Fi (Star Trek forever baby!), History Channel, book stores, and other geek like actvities. I LOVE music, film, tv, and art. Not all that creative myself, but like to see it in others. Where I am creative, is in the things I write. And on ocassion, I cook food that will make you slap your mama, but you rarely catch me in the kitchen these days. I'm a busy girl.

I like being open to new ideas, new passions, new adventures, new tastes. I'll try anything once, although it may take me some time to get to it. Did I say I was a busy girl?

Most of all, I like learning something new everyday. So, if you feel like sharing a little news, a little humor, a little music, a little opinion....then this is the place for you. Tell me something I didnt know!
