V (television series)

***VamPyroX*** · 05-20-2009, 09:51 AM

Finally... it's happening!

Remember in the 1980s when there was a television series called V?

Well, they're doing a new series that's coming soon.

Here are a couple clips from the show.

Frisky Feline · 05-20-2009, 10:10 AM

no way? I would love to watch it all over again. I bet they would make it better with the special effect or vision effect.

PowerON · 05-20-2009, 10:15 AM

I have 1st season DVD of V series. I felt like that show is pretty crap. Of course, it was old time.

I'm looking forward on something cool effect visual to see.

Pepsi · 05-20-2009, 10:37 PM

I love 'V' I can't wait to see it!

Pepsi · 10-30-2009, 10:52 PM

I can't wait till next week to see it!

Oceanbreeze · 10-30-2009, 11:33 PM

I'm gonna pass. I enjoyed the original and find that remakes never measure up.

I lvoe the original series. I will give tje new series a chance to see how I like it or not.

It is hotly rumored that Jane Badler (Diana fro the original series) will may appear in the new series as a different character. I would love to see her in the new series as long as she reprises her role as Diana.

I agree, I love Jane Badler and would like to see her as Diana in the new series. I also would like to see Ham Tyler ( Michael Ironside) come back

I have deep reservations about this new series. It's hard to top an original.

Sadly though, Hollywood seems to be running out of original ideas, therefore they are making "remakes" as it were. They need to find and hire people who can think up original ideas.

What I'd like to see is more deaf series, but they're too cheap to hire interpreters for the benefit of deaf actor/actresses. They seem to believe it's cheaper to hire hearing people with the knowledge of ASL.

Ticked me off they canceled "Reasonable Doubt" starring Marlee Matlin, as the Suits thought that a deaf attorney is laughable.

I will see it on Tuesday.

I heard the same with the other main characters as well. It will be interesting to see what roles they will have... especially Robert Englund.

Of course, it's hard to top an original... but they are trying to appeal to the modern audience (not the old farts like us).

I have some young friends (who were too young to understand the original V series) that saw the previews and say, "Ooh, that show looks interesting! I wanna see that!" When I tell them that it's a remake, their typical response is... "Oh, they did? I didn't know."

Another reason for rebooting originals is to give it a try with newer filming technology. I do have a few friends who thought the original V series looked so fake. "Gee, my Halloween mask looks better and more realistic than those alien masks!"

Even though I liked the original, I'm open to seeing how they do it differently. It could be better... or worse.

Remember Diana eating a live guinea pig in the old V series?

It sure freaks you out.

Yes I remember that one. I was shocked to see that for the first time. Until yesterday, the old V tv shows were on syfy all day. I saw her eating the parrot and i wasn't shocked at all. ha

Royale · 11-03-2009, 09:19 PM

It is friggin' awesome! I had some reservations about the new show until I finished watching it.

Pepsi · 11-03-2009, 09:42 PM

I didn't like it. It sucks

yizuman · 11-03-2009, 11:52 PM

It was alright, but they went too fast, skipping important elements from the original and not giving us time to interact into character development. They basically went through both mini-series in a crunch time.

Next week, they'll prolly slow down to give us time to get to know each character to allow us to develop a understanding of who they are and what their backgrounds are.

First episodes and especially first season gets shaky at best. It takes time to develop each character and write a good story about them. If that is, they have a staff of good writers.

For me, I want good stories, less special effects.

Frisky Feline · 11-04-2009, 06:14 AM

i tried watching it and i got too distracting from tv and other things that has been going on in the house. obviously that show did not get my attention. sad.

That is the #1 problem I got with it. Its going too fast there is no "feel" to it. I ask myself if I have never seen the original would I feel different about the new one? and I still think no because it just that bad. But I will watch all of it anyway. It might get better.

PowerON · 11-04-2009, 10:10 AM

There are several I like about this tv show.

- CGI of spaceship is pretty good for such TV program
- Laura Vandervoort play another alien role!
- Become part of drama n' suspect in sci-fic
- New plot that Visitor has been already here in Earth before attack
- Reveal several of Visitor willing help instead later
- There is one of them, always stubborn, join the bad.

That tv series only appear to have total of 4 hours for this November. Again new series will come up in Spring.

The new "V" was a big hit in TV rating last night.

Yeah, the Suits at ABC are retarded. They're doing that on purpose to cancel the show. In fact, ABC, NBC and CBS have never been sci fi friendly. Any sci fi show that comes along, it will not last long and ends up on the chopping block.

Sure it was a big hit, but will it continue to rate big next week and so forth?

After watching the first episode, I felt that V doesn't "grab" me like the first episodes of other sci-fi's such as Fringe, Life on Mars, Sarah Connor's, etc.

I am still going to give the show a chance though, because I like sci-fi's.
