"V"

So who watched it??? I loved it in the 80's when I was a kid, so far this isn't so terrible.

I thought it was cool, they cut right to the chase, it pretty much already feels like the later half of the original.

'Wasn't terrible" is the perfect way to put it

I liked it so far.. It was a mini series, it has been on for the last few days.

I do like how they got right into it. Special effects are better already and I like how they make them all talk normal. In the original they had like a synth voice. I like how you can't tell who is who in this, makes it a little more interesting.

It was alright but not great. I'll give it a few eps to see if it improves. I liked the original miniseries and saw most of it again Sunday on the Sci FI Channel.

I never watched the original. This seemed OK, good special effects. I'll give it a few episodes, see what develops.

It started off as a mini series but got high enough ratings the network made a series out of it. I was like 10 at the time and a huge fan. But the full series got really lame really fast. I know, it's hard to imagine a Marc Singer vehicle not being top notch, but...

good to know. sounds like me and my husband and our son :lol: me being the dumb alien of course.

I should try and get the original V series for my brother, and then the new series when they release the first season. That would be a great Christmas gift.

It stays true to its cheesy acting roots. With the exception of some CG effects, not a whole lot of difference.

I'm assuming the blond FBI actress is no longer on LOST? I didn't really watch that show and I don't know what happened to her character so that may be a stupid question. Or, she may be doing both shows. Don't really know.
