around the focal point...

i saw a trailer today for a new (read: revamped) mini-series that i loved as a child and that i own as an adult V. i think quite possibly that it was v that started my science fiction obsession. something that i am quite thankful for. science fiction is just science fact of the future. anyways, here is the new Trailer for the new V. i gotta say, damn, it looks quite cool. im not one for the Re-inventing, Re-Imagining and Re-Tooling of some otherwise classic shows, this one looks more like a great Re-Interpretation of the original and something that i would like to put my attention in to.

i am a steadfast believer in the purity of the original things. there is just no making up for the originals. no matter how many times they bring something back, the new fails to live up to the old (for the most part) and never surpasses it, except in perhaps one case, Battlestar Galactica. much better than the original and vastly more enjoyable. im sure there are more though i cant think of them at the time being.

point is, everything that i ever needed to know about life, i could easily learn from The Twilight Zone. seriously. nothing is ever as it seems. there is no time like the preset. tomorrow you could die and come back and die again and no one would ever know better. the world is a tough but beautiful place that can be our friend as well as our home; and yet just as easily be our enemy and our doom. and To Serve Man is a cookbook.
