'V' FOR VILLIFICATION: LIBERAL PARADISE, OBAMA NIGHTMARE?
The fact is, the “resistors” are paranoid. That’s because at first, there is no proof that the aliens are anything other than benevolent souls who only want to help. It is not until the true reptilian nature of the Visitors is revealed to one of the main characters, FBI Agent Erica Evans (played by the ravishing MILF Elizabeth Mitchell) that the “paranoid” conspiracy nuts are proved correct.
There's no doubt that some, if not many, could be considered truly 'paranoid', but to suggest that there was no proof until the nature was revealed to Agent Evans is incorrect.
For one, the main leader of the resistance was the one who understood they were sleeper cells for some time. Considering the conversation he had with Morris Chestnut's character (can't remember his name right now), they have obviously received proof prior to the 'revealing' moment in the show. Furthermore, their actions of cutting a 'V' behind the ear to check if the person was a Visitor or not is further proof that they weren't merely 'paranoid'.
All this and we didn't even get into the fact that Morris Chestnut's character IS a Visitor and was helping the other guy fight against them.
I think you need to separate skepticism from paranoia.
Would you call the Father paranoid? It seems his comments regarding the Visitors were rather enlightened, and not paranoid. They were ones of skepticism, questioning, rather than blind loyalty and devotion.
