I haven't seen more than 2 minutes of "V"; the discussion on the net says that "they" are here to steal our water. This really does seem to be ludicrous to me; the satellites of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus) are made up largely of ice. Any civilization needing water could simply melt Callisto (Jupiter's outermost Galilean moon) and have thousands of times the water available in the Earth's oceans. If this is really the premise for "V", then I'm glad I missed it.

If the Visitors were advanced enough to build interplanetary spacecraft, they ought to be able to synthesize water out of hydrogen and oxygen. (shouldn't they?) Ken Varnum (..decvax!dartvax!!kenv) ps- What happened to the other 49 mothercrafts????

And If the "Visitors" were just meanies who enjoy destroying inhabated worlds, etc. then why didn't they just take the polar ice caps, which would take less room, if they kept it around 32 degrees F. Plus, they also needed humes for food (Here mousie!...) Ben Walls ...cbosgd!bsw

The Earthlings wouldn't have let them take the polar ice caps either,
because lack of them would cause an imbalance in Earth's climate,
resulting in worldwide modified weather patterns, dropping of the ocean
levels, etc...
