Making Connections: Earth - Final Conflict
Visitors and Taelons? Closer than you might think.
While watching the promo for the new "V", one of the more intriguing elements in it that separates this version from the earlier incarnation is the notion that there is a religious connection that humanity makes with the Visitors. Some of the populace begin to look at them as deities of sorts and, accompanied by a reference to "Visitor healing centers," it seems that the aliens will take root on earth via one of our most base levels. As Elizabeth Mitchell's Erica Evans note, "They're arming themselves with the most powerful weapon we can give them. Our devotion."
All of this triggered memories of the syndicated television series Earth: Final Conflict (created on some level by the late Gene Roddenberry), which also dealt with aliens arriving on earth, claiming to be our friends but with their own secret agenda. Take a look at the opening credits for season one of that show, and you may sense that the series has had a bit of influence on the new "V".
