None of the aliens I know ever came to earth JUST to get water.  The
ones in ``V'' also wanted to raise human cattle to ship back to their
local fast-food places, and in general their junket to earth provided
an excuse to wield power over a less-advanced race.  In ``The Man Who
Fell To Earth'', David Bowie came here not only to get water, but to
watch TV as well.

This subject is getting rather dry (sorry).  Do yourself a favor and
don't analyze these movies' scientific facts so critically.

Not to say that V was good.  There were so many ripoffs from Star Wars,
Star Trek, War of the Worlds and other movies that I expected to see
Robbie The Robot or a computer that could talk and read lips.  You
know, with a little more effort, V could have been turned into a
reasonably humorous 2-hour parody of famous sf films.
