as i am watching V the original on syfy, i do hope that the remake makes at the very least a slight reference to the original and perhaps even have someone from the original guest star
It got better near the end but the original is much better. This one was cliche and bad.
What doesn't make sense is why aliens would need Earth resources. Water is abundant in the universe and the amount of resources you can get from non-living planets and meteors would be enormous compared to Earth. The only thing that would make a bit of sense is humans as a resource but anything but slavery would also make no sense.
I thought water was pretty rare. Especially if they are from our solar system. Besides, if it is like the original, the resources they want is more than likely the humans themselves (food, slaves).
I know I would eat Elizabeth Mitchell myself! shes hot.
Same here. bailey was alright but I dont think Morris is a good actor. They only role I ever liked him in was "Two can play that game". For some reason I saw his reveal coming. Same for the "terrorist" cell. I wouldve dragged the reveal for a few episodes. Especially since we know the aliens are bad.

I didn't see either reveal coming, but I agree they should have saved it 4later. Seem also like they should have had a 2 hour special. They rushed things along
i loved the original as a kid. i'll never forget the "V" lady entirely swollowing that big fat rat alive and whole.
Wasn't it called "V" the final battle? it used to play on what's now upn.
anyway i'm really liking this new show. i almost knew i would especially after watching the trailer with "anna's" massive face on the huge belly of that spacecraft. Anna's is so hot. the leader chick. Her looks, attitude, demeanor just scream sexy in a sophisticaed sort of way.

I'm not all too sure if I ever saw the original (maybe I did )
Anyways, since I can remember any point of comparison, I have to say I loved the Pilot. I like the story, Morris reveal was a surprise, so was the cell. And finding out what do the V's really want has caught my attention
plus watching some more Eli Mitchel is always nice
In the end, there is probably more water in the galaxy than there is on Earth. An alien species would not go out of its way to kill an entire species for water. Slaves I would guess but definitely not resources.
Being a massive fan of the original, i was very wary of this re-imagining and whether it was going to be any good. In summary, not bad, but not great.
The reveal that whatsername from Lost's [SPOILER - highlight to read]: partner was a visitor, even if i saw it coming beforehand, was good.
I was so psyched for Morris Chestnut's character until they [SPOILER - highlight to read]: spoiled it with the twist.
The best part of the episode, bar none, imo, was the part just before Decker was to interview Anna, and she tells him her terms. Absolutely pitch perfect. Even the reaction on Decker's face was a CMOA for the episode.
No theme music, which sucked, and no Mike Donovan type character (which sucks even more). Honestly, this show needs a Mike and Julie, and a Ham Tyler. Just someone to fill that role.
i said to a friend weeks ago that having a mother and son as the central characters was going to bring in a wishy washy family element. guess i was right, even if it was hella predictable.
Looking forward to next week's, but so far, not a patch on the original, tbh.
