V -- Remake of the 1983 series

Koenig · November 5th, 2009, 6:00 AM

Tried searching, but V is not enough letters soooo....

Can't believe we don't have a thread for this show yet! Only reason to get excited about TV Tuesdays now, and it's a good one! Not quite FlashForward good, but we'll see where they take it from here.

Giant spaceships appear over 29 major cities of the world, and Anna, the beautiful and charismatic leader of the extra-terrestrial "Visitors," claims to come in peace. As a small number of humans begin to doubt the sincerity of the seemingly benevolent Visitors, FBI counter-terrorism agent Erica Evans discovers that the aliens have spent decades infiltrating human governments and businesses, and are now in the final stages of their plan to take over the world. Erica joins the resistance movement, which includes Ryan, a Visitor sleeper agent who wants to save humanity. However, the aliens have won favor among the people of Earth by curing a variety of diseases, and have recruited Earth's youth—including Erica's son—to serve them unknowingly as spies.

It was alright, seemed like it might be a bit boring, but I felt the same way about the first few episodes of Fringe, so I will be checking it out.

Uh..I must object.

Perhaps Canadians aren't yet privy to the awesome of this show.

The 1983 series was terrible. Read the book instead, A C Crispin is a great writer.

jasonof2000 · November 6th, 2009, 12:26 AM

The original wasn't bad for its time but it has aged horribly.

I liked the pilot but I thought it moved to quick. Revealing the alien sleeper cells, the good guy aliens and the resistance all in the first episode was a mistake, as well as already forming the Hitler Youth.

The first episode was alright, nothing more. I'll give it my seal of [to be determined] next week.

Meh, introductory episodes always suck.

JohnnyRacer · November 6th, 2009, 1:15 AM

Was part of a focus group and watched this back in July. I like it.

Not always.

camsinny · November 6th, 2009, 2:37 AM

That was a lot of information to reveal in the first episode.

A few mindfucks, since I wasn't around for the 1983 series...
Great...now my monthly internet quota will be nearly ALL used with with TV shows, most of which recommended by this forum. Thanks guys.

OMG, the Alien reptiles are terrorists who want to introduce universal healthcare around the world!
( nevermind that many countries already have universal healthcare )

Ramseus · November 6th, 2009, 3:58 AM

Did you miss the subtle pun? Universal healthcare.

smib · November 6th, 2009, 4:05 AM

Probably missed it because of Parkinson's.

47 · November 6th, 2009, 7:23 AM

I dunno, I like it. And better to reveal something interesting now, and keep people hooked, then to stretch it over 17 episodes.
That's why I stopped watching Galactica, it was soooo boring!!

While I agree about Galactica, I think "V" producers just crammed an entire season's worth of revelations into the pilot episode, seems to me they'll just stretch the other 1% of the plot over the course of as many seasons as they can stretch it.

Tuesday is NCIS day - how can this day get any better, TV-wise?

Buba · November 6th, 2009, 12:46 PM

I tried it, and liked it... Will continue watching, especially since I don't have anything else on Wednsdays to download...
