Product Description
Product Description
The Visitors are among us. In a single shared moment, they appear in every major city in the world, promoting a message of peace. They want to share their knowledge of technology; they want us to unite. And they are counting on a very important component of human nature: devotion. At first considered a threat, the Visitors -- or V's -- quickly become a fascination. But when FBI Counter Terrorist Agent Erica Evans discovers what lurks beneath the alarmingly human exterior of the V's, resisting this new world has never been more important -- and never has there been more at stake. It truly is the dawning of a new day.

There's a lot to like about V, an exceptionally well-made series combining science fiction, action-adventure, and personal drama (and debuting here on DVD with all 12 first-season episodes on three discs). From the moment 29 enormous spaceships appear over an equal number of major cities (the principal action takes place in New York and aboard the mother ship that hovers over it), nothing will ever be the same. But the Visitors, commonly known as Vs, "are of peace"--or so says Anna (Morena Baccarin), their young, beautiful, preternaturally serene leader (the Vs look human, but as we soon discover, their appearance is only one part of them that isn't what it seems). Folks around the globe are smitten as the Vs perform Christ-like medical miracles and use their awesome technology and messianic powers of persuasion to wow the Earthlings--especially a smarmy, headline-hugging TV "journalist" (Scott Wolf) who becomes their willing mouthpiece, helping the Vs seduce the entire global population… almost. Of course, there are some who know better, specifically the "Fifth Column," a resistance group comprised of humans (with Elizabeth Mitchell as an FBI agent whose son is in thrall to the aliens) and a few "traitor" Vs who've lived on Earth for years (including Morris Chestnut as a V whose human girlfriend is pregnant). They know what the Visitors' real agenda is--and that dirty deeds like establishing terror cells and surreptitiously injecting drugs into humans are only the beginning.
All of this is offered in a very slick, entertaining package; the plotting is clever and just unpredictable enough, the effects work is outstanding (especially good is a technique whereby Vs on their mother ship are rendered like video game characters), and while V is hardly what you'd call profound, it does touch on some interesting ideas (such as the role of emotions, of which the Vs have none, or the danger of putting one's faith in false gods). That will help viewers overlook some of the show's more dubious elements. For instance, the utter gullibility of the vast majority of humans in the face of the aliens' transparent duplicity is preposterous, even by sci-fi standards; by the same token, it's hard to swallow that the Fifth Column, which seems to consist of about four people, could possibly pose a threat to the omnipotent Visitors. Still, by the time it reaches its season-ending cliffhanger, V has given us more than enough reasons to tune in again next year. --Sam Graham

The basic story is that the earth has been invaded by an alien race who become known as "the Visitors," or "the V's" for short. The aliens are led by Anna (Morena Baccarin), a beautiful and charming but privately ruthless leader, who puts a benign, pretty face on top of what is basically a plot to destroy the human race and take over the world. Anna and the aliens are opposed by "the Fifth Column," a small group of humans and alien-defectors who know what is really going on. They are led by FBI agent Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell), whose own son Tyler (Logan Huffman) has been targeted by the aliens to play an important but unspecified role in their plans. Other prominent members of the resistance include a Catholic priest, Father Jack Landry (Joel Gretsch) and Ryan (Morris Chestnut), an alien who has defected after developing human-like emotions and attachments. Caught in the middle is prominent news anchor Chad Decker (Scott Wolf), who - despite his occasional misgivings - allows himself to be used by Anna as a tool of her propaganda.
The human race is divided over the aliens. Many are deceived by their show of benevolence and their ability to produce medical marvels and other feats of superior technology. The Visitors use sex appeal and idealism to recruit young human "ambassadors" to act is go-betweens between the aliens and humans. The ambassadors - who include Erica's son Tyler - are unwitting tools of the aliens' program. A minority of humans continue to harbor suspicion of - and hostility towards - the aliens, but the aliens are effective propagandists who overcome most resistance through their medical marvels and technological gifts.
In some ways, the show calls to mind the 1960's series, The Invaders. The aliens have infiltrated human society over many years, and are virtually indistinguishable from ordinary humans. (Their true appearance is reptilian, but they have replicated human skin and facial features.) The infiltration of the Visitors into all walks of life puts the members of the resistance in a state of paranoia, as they can never trust someone not to be an alien in disguise. (They eventually develop a test by which an alien can be identified.) Another nod to The Invaders is that when the aliens are in jeopardy of being captured, they swallow a suicide pill which consumes their bodies in flames in a matter of seconds, destroying the evidence of their true nature.
The plots typically involve the efforts of the Visitors to spread their influence and control over human society, efforts which are countered by the resistance, and then counter-countered by the Visitors. Newsman Chad Decker is often caught in the middle, typically acting as a vehicle for alien propaganda even as his suspicions grow.
For me - and I am not alone in this - "V" often reminds me of political events in real life, and sometimes refers to those events (e.g., 9/11) explicitly. "V" is not, however, a piece of political propaganda, even though I think that conservatives will find more to like in this show than in a typical TV drama.
I think "V" is an entertaining series, and hope that it is resurrected and allowed to reach its final climax. (I will not do a separate review of Season 2, other than to say that it continues to entertain and add new elements to the story. Each episode reveals something new, and you never get the impression that the series is spinning its wheels or "jumping the shark".)

I have already received the entire season 2.a couple weeks ago,.
It had a different cover on the DVD ..
Season 1 was actually from 1983. Where it all began with Diana and the other visitors..
Season 2 ,starts out with Anna.. It has been a long time since viewing season 1.. So, after starting to watch season 2 (which I ordered and received 2 weeks ago) I felt a little lost and wanted to rematch season 1..where it REALLY all began.. So I was quite disappointed when I excitedly opened the package and it wasn't as advertised..
Please change listing it is VERY. Misleading.. And you will be getting many more returns from otherunhappy costomers.
