Morena Baccarin is a Tease.

By Hiroshi

I’m not complaining!  I’ll take whatever I can get from any luscious alien dime-piece, but does the girl have to leave me hanging for five months, until March 2010?

After a successful four episode run in November 2009, fans were left wanting something a bit more . . .satisfying.  So the Sci-Fi series “V” will finally – ahem, “Put Out” returning in March 2010 after an exhausting five month hiatus.  Sheesh . . . 5 months!  This is starting to sound just like one of my real life relationships.

The story of V is familiar to anyone reading (or in my case writing) this from their Mom’s basement, but for those with a life outside of World of Warcraft – Alien ships appear over major cities throughout Earth, and the quite perfect looking inhabitants – known as Visitors – launch a politically subversive campaign to take over the Big Blue Marble. Oh!  And did I mention that their leader –Anna – is super hot, played by aforementioned tease, Firefly alum and voice of Black Canary (JLA Unlimited) Morena Baccarin.  Yum.

Some critics have been skeptical of the series for having a formulaic brand of storytelling. To them I say. “Are you gay?” (As Seinfeld would say, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that”) Because I haven’t seen aliens this sexy since Kirk “partook” of the Jolly Green Giant’s daughter.   Audiences so far, myself included, love the show.  It ranked second in its timeslot, which is great news for Sci Fi fans thinking about jumping on board because nothing sucks more than getting invested only to have the series canceled mid storyline (Hey NBC, you suck for canceling Journeyman!  We were left totally hanging you heartless douchbags).

Another note that critics have been trumpeting is that the series seems to be allegorical to the Obama campaign. They cite the use of “Hope” and “Change,” as well as the promises of free health care, and perhaps most importantly their overwhelming desire to see both leaders without their respective shirts on. Although, their strongest piece of circumstantial evidence is perhaps the premiere of the show coinciding with the anniversary of President Obama’s election.  The show’s creators argue it’s coincidental.  “Coincidental”, my achin’ ass. Sack up, and admit you borrowed as much as you could from real events – art imitates life, and you ran with it.  There’s nothing wrong with that, except ducking the truth of the source material.

The four episodes of V:The Mini Series that premiered in 2009 can be seen here, while a preview to the upcoming series and other cool stuff is available at the V website here.    Sadly, no real life pictures exist of Morena Baccarin in her Black Canary uniform, but hey –  a guy can dream.

Damn, Black Canary , I bet she’s a screamer.
