		This may be the easiest to fix but basicly V is boring.
	An alien race out to conquer the Earth has been kicked around for
	years. It is proof of how difficult it is to produce an original
	tv sci-fi program nowadays. Even Galactica was interesting at times
	(no ,I have not lost my senses) and 1999 was rarely boring.
		What on Earth (or Moon) is a 'spindizzie'?
	
		And now for something completely different..BLAKE'S SEVEN.
	I have been told that this hasn't been shown in the U.S. yet but the
	networks should come to their senses soon. It was great, some episodes
	were straight S.T. rip offs but otherwise the show was superb. The
	plots were ingenious with lots of twists but you would have to see it
	to understand. The last series (as usual) wasn't as good.
		I think this deserves some discussion ,at least over here.
