"V": Morena Baccarin Interview

As “V” debuts in Australia, the media is presenting a number of articles on the show, including this interview with actress Morena Baccarin, who portrays Anna, the leader of the Visitors.
In a discussion with Melbourne, Australia’s The Age, the actress considers the basic premise of the series – 29 alien motherships hovering over the major cities of the world, their real purpose unknown.

"It's so very vulnerable to have something looming over us in the sky” she offered, “and then Anna appears for her people, out of this looming, destructive thing, and appears to calm everybody down, saying she's going to help you, to nurture you and everything is going to be fine.

"I knew about the original V,” Baccarin continued, “so I knew what the show was about. We had a conversation about the character and his initial thoughts were not to make her inhuman or alien but as nurturing and as human as possible," she says. "It was great to get that perspective on it, to know that it wasn't going to be a certain kind of show, that it was going to be grounded.

"The politics isn't the heart of the story and in a way I think people are tired of politics, a little tired of television making big statements. Television is entertainment, at least the way we're doing it. That said, these are wonderful characters and character stories, and there are political statements which deepen the show and make it about something."
