I'm actually excited about it.
-
is this a new version or re-broadcast?
-
New version. And, oh hell yeah I wanna watch it.
-
Oooh..that looks good..might have to Tivo that!
-
I'll either watch or record it. I never saw the original.
-
Early reviews from Metacritic, E! and USAToday give it a solid thumbs up.
The special effects are feature-film quality; the writing is intelligent and time-relevant; and the acting is first-rate. The first five minutes alone will hook you for the entire season.

And if that didn't sell you...

If you still lived here I would SO invite you over to watch it with me. :-*

I hope they put it online. We don't have TV at home, so I can't watch it.

This will be one of those rare moments when I do regret not having a TV in the house as well.
I'll get over it.

Classic!
'V' aims at Obamamania
By Glenn Garvin
McClatchy/Tribune News
November 3, 2009
Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.
The news media swoons in admiration -- one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: "Why don't you show some respect?!" The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader's origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: "Embracing change is never easy."
So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait -- did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who's come here to eat us?

I've been watching the re-aired original series since Sunday. I'm looking forward to it tonight.
-
I wanna see a Visitor eat a rat! :popcorn:

Eh, maybe. It depends on if it is mostly dialogue for "plot-building" or explosions and firefights.
-
I'll try it.
-

Tell ya what, just get takeout from Anita's (stuffy dinner or carne adovada) and I'll be there in spirit, at least.
-
From what I've heard, and the previews, I can't wait. It's perhaps the first thing on tv that I'm honestly anxious to catch in a long time.
I've never seen the original, and honestly have only the vaguest of ideas what it's even about
-
And on that note, I'll see ya'll in an hour.
-
Aliens are HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! :sheshot:
-
Aliens promise Universal health care and Obama youth corps

yup... i was wondering how much political bullshit would be in this. It seems like every re-make or kids movie is full of propoganda.
Wonder when global warming will come up??
EDIT: Okay... this is going to get interesting! Most powerful weapon: devotion.
VERY interesting.
-
That. Was. AWESOME. It's gonna be a good show.
-
Health care for everybody, because the V's don't want their food source to be ill or sick.
-
OK so we have the start of the Obama Youth Corps.
A tie between universal health care and slavery to a tyrannical govt.
Devotion and adoration to a glorious leader...who sorta looks like Obama.
Only softball questions allowed.
the media compromising its standards for position with the govt.
AND Militias presented in a good light.
Did a conservative write this?

It's going to be interesting, isn't it! My knee jerk reaction to the healthcare was propoganda... but they suprised me!
-
Was going to dvr it and forgot....had to watch NCIS.... but I'm sure it will be on again before next week's show.
-
For those that didn't see the original series it was on the SYFY channel for the past 3 days. As to the new episodes story ,they took alot from the origianl series and the the man that created the original, Kenneth Johnston, co wrote tonights episode. The series was available on DVD not long ago
-
All in all, I was disappointed. Right when I was truly starting to get into the show, it was over. The premier should have been a two hour premier vs only an hour. I think it has the potential to be a great series, again. Even in the original series, which I watched back in the 80s and again the last three days, one could draw parallels to our current government.

+1 on both counts

Leapin' lizards! ABC's 'V' premiere lands big ratings (http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/11/abcs-v-premiere-ratings.html)
I thought it was good. I agree with whoever said it was over too soon and should have had a 2 hour premier. But over all I was pleased.
Best remake ever, so far?

Might be a bit too soon to call, the remake of Battlestar Galactica was rather impressive.

Yeah BSG was pretty good, except for Starbuck.
And expanding out from TV a little, the new Star Trek movie was probably the best remake ever.
-
Does anyone know when the second episode is supposed to air?

Tuesday? Maybe? Don't series normally get shown on the same day each week? ::)

There will be two or three episodes then a break till March I think.

If that's the case. that's lame. They seem to be airing it opposite NCIS :(

That is why they invented VCRs and DVRs.

I have neither....... but I DO has PC and interwebz!! :)
Anna (the V leader) seemed vaguely familiar to me. I've been wondering what other shows she's been in. It turns out that she was in the Stargate SG1 series, Firefly, and Serenity.

Firefly was cancelled before it's time.

Firefly was cancelled before it's time.
So was SG1 and Atlantis. There's plenty of stuff left to explain for BOTH shows. Even the after-series movies didn't do those two justice. I liked Serenity, but Firefly seemed like a Western with sci-fi effects. I wasn't real impressed with Firefly.

You can catch the first 2 episodes on HULU.com (http://www.hulu.com/search?query=v&st=1)

I friggen love this show. It makes my tinfoil hat seem loose. :rotf:
talking about how humans are predictable, how the media spins pandemics and crisis, and putting crap in the flu vaccine... I almost feel normal now.
-
John May = John Galt?
-
WTF?
Not returning until March 2010? :banghead:
-
Wow, that's some cliffhanger.

Okay, it's time to pop Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars into the DVD player.
-
Good episode tonight. I thought the show was falling off a cliff after the pilot but tonight's show was as good or better than the first.
(spoiler alert)
Sucks that the skewered Priest has to lay there bleeding until March 10th. :p
-
That last shot of those thousands of V ships massing in space was cool. And I shudder to think what the baby will look like. Half reptile, half human? Blech...

They did the baby thing in the original V. It was twins with sort of one of each though the "human" baby had a nice long forked tongue.
