    Alot of familiar faces in this series.

    ABC has released this full new preview of "V," which is a re-imagining of the 1980's miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent.

    I was hoping it'd be a series based on V for Vendetta - Which is an excellent movie and would make an amazing series imo

    It would have to be on Showtime or HBO. But yeah, that would be awesome.

    A remake of V? SWEET!!! I gotta tell the boys at work here about this one!

    V is one of my all-time favorite miniseries. After watching the video, I'm sold on the new series. I'll definitely be tuning in.

    Thanks for the info ILPhinFan!

    I loved V as a kid until it got campy. This looks like an improvement. The only thing was I thought that the Visitor voice was something cool, but not having it's okay.

    Morena Baccarin :hump:

    :lol: It's funny how actors who get sci-fi roles usually end up kind of "stuck" in the genre...isn't that Jamie Bamber playing the reporter?

    Saw the pilot last week...

    Not too bad, but I thought they tried throwing too much information into the first show...

    I'm signed up on an e-survey site... Every once in a while the survey is about a show that hasn't come out yet... So you end up having to watch the show online and then answer some questions about it...

    Just happened to get lucky and got V... :knucks:

    I was disappointed. The writing was pretty bad, IMO. I'll keep watching it, because I love the actors involved with it, but it just isn't doing it for me.

    I think part of the problem is that, in the original "V," there was a question of what the Visitors' true intentions were. There was a lot of mystery and foreboding that led up to the big reveal.

    Here, we know the Vs agenda from minute one. Very little suspense or intrigue.

    Elizabeth and Morena ARE hot, however.

    Having just watched the miniseries the day before was good for me. I remember the series as a kid. Loved it.

    I was surprised so much was revealed in the pilot. I wish they would of kept us hanging on more. It was obvious who would play what parts. (The young boy who will trade in his family to be accepted by the V's). I was looking for the girl who gets pregnant...I'm sure she will come into the scene soon. Tyson surprised me at the end.

    Bottom line...nice start.

    Everybody already knew they were lizards from the original, hopefully there will be some other big surprise for us this time.
