They are remaking V

Onkel Neal · 05-21-09, 08:11 AM

I remember the original well, packed a really big whallop at the time. Now they are remaking it as a series, may be worth a look.

I remember 'V'. Been a long time and I recall only watching maybe 1 or 2 episodes.

V - "Dallas" in space!

Well, I watched it back then, at least sometimes. But today I think about it: terrible. A real soap opera. But that blond woman playing that rebel group leader - she really was a looker! [sigh]

Jane Badler (Diana): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Badler was pretty hot then. I watched a few episodes of the series & found it to be like a lot of mid-80's tv programs: pure drivel...

I meant Faye Grant.

Yeah she does. I always found that women in tv shows of that era wore way too much make-up though. Made them look like they were wearing warpaint...

Thinking about Connie Selecca, eventually, another name from that era? Attractive young woman and beautiful eyes and face, but often exaggerating it both with cosmetics and glamour-"primadonnism".

The stoned Robert Englund cruising dumpsters looking for mouse munchies ("heeere mousey mousey") is still my most remembered scene lol

Best for its times. I wanted one of the those red leather V jackets so bad when I was a kid. I had the gun... But It broke when I was a kid.

Damb best show ever..

I'm really not looking forward to the new release of the V revive. I think like they do to many classics is rewrite cannon and story to suit the present newer audience.

All special effects and no good story... Well V stories where cheezy too but hey who can beat that lovely lizard named diana above.. She was a hot lizzard muahahahahah.

It will fail. Sci-fi shows lately have had a REALLY hard time getting viewers. The general public who watch TV with a few exceptions, don't even have anything Sci-Fi cross their radar.

Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles is cancelled, yet "Dancing with the Stars" is still on and will be coming back !?! Is there NO JUSTICE !?!

Look at Firefly and Terminator for instance. The writing was excellent for both. The acting was decent. They were very entertaining, yet the fast majority of people havn't even HEARD of them.
