I enjoyed watching "V" (with my educated brain set to Star-Wars mode, where it ignores all the scientific impossibilities), until the final scene where hybrid child Elizardbeth pulss her magical powers on the Bomb controls. I had the same problem with "The Secret of NIMH" -- namely, I can't stand it when a "rational" SF story mixes in PURE MAGIC (without even calling it "sufficiently advanced technology"). Actually, I thought ET's magic was beautiful (brain in kid mode?), but V's ending looked like "oh my gawd, only 2 minutes in the 4th quarter" by the screenwriters. mike k
