My 100th Post!
As it's my 100th post,I decided to see if I could share one of my favourite moments from the classic sci-fi miniseries:V from 1984.
Two of my favourite female characters in the show were Diana and LydiaBoth play the bad guys as ruthless lizard humanoids,who are determined to steal the Earth's water supply for their own planet.Diana is one of the main bad guys, as she's utterly ruthless and quite a nasty piece of work. She inflicts so much suffering on the humans she thinks that she's fooled. They're known as the Visitors, and later on in the show,it's revealed Diana won favour from her leader to trick Mankind into helping them.Diana is played by Jane Badler, who later said she was never offered that good a role ever again in her acting career. I think Jane also admitted that she didn't really like the show later on,and that totally surprised me.
Lydia comes into the show later,played June Chadwick. She's a bad guy at first, but as she's always in constant conflict with Diana,as they both vie for power against each other I loved the scenes where the two of them verbally battle eachother, and there was also a physical fight staged between them., Lydia does eventually turn against Diana, and I still remember watching her quiet smirk of satisfaction when she tells Diana the war is over.
I still enjoy watching V to this day. It was one of the best sci-fi action shows I've ever watched. I also enjoyed watching it,as this was the first time I saw Michael Ironside performing in it as Ham Tyler,one of the resistance best assets. He shows no mercy at all to his enemies, and I loved him for it.
