V - The Visitors are here [SPOILERS]

Looks like another old franchise is having the dust shaken off and being re-done. This time it is V.

The original mini-series that appeared in the 80’s captured my attention as a teenager of that time and I still have very fond memories of the show. I’m excited to see this!

Forgot to add - that link has several trailers one after the other.

When does it start?

The web site has 3 November, 7:00 C.

No mention of lizards anywhere, though. Has me worried.

While we’re at it - Rosebud is a sled.

Got the original series on DVD as a gift last year. Hope watching it all won’t spoil anything. :slight_smile:

Please.

The one trailer I’ve seen already spoils that fact.

Was the original V the show where the aliens’ skin looked like Sugar Smacks cereal? That’s about all I can remember of it, and that I’m not even sure of.

Missed edit window, or I’d have deleted. I’m thinking about Alien Nation.

I’ve added a spoiler tag to the thread title.

I really liked that show.
As for a modern V, how will the Visitors hide their true intentions without Jane Badler’s giant hairdo for concealment?

I’m waiting to see what their explanation for looking exactly like humans is. Just to be clear I’m talking about how the Visitors explain this to the people of Earth. In the original miniseries they just claimed it was a coincidence. This is a reimagining like BSG, not a remake, right? It seems they’re not even reusing character names so I wonder how much of the basic premise will translate. Is this going to be like Earth: Final Conflict where it’s all just a big conspiracy, or will it progress to a more obvious occupation (like in the 2nd miniseries). I’m really worried about how having this be an opened ended series on network TV as opposed to say another miniseries.
