I like the new villains on "V" ... but Jane Badler (Diana on the original mini-series) was hot hot hot ... for a cold-blooded lizard. # As much as the new "V" can be seen as a jab at the Obama administration, I think a reimaging of "They Live" would be more appropriate # Electronic Holy Water dispenser http://bit.ly//3YksIv Fully compatible with Preacherbot 3000 # Anna...

Did you tune in last week for "V"? As a child of the '80s, I can still remember that Marc Singer-starring classic series. The scene where the visitors first touch down on Earth to the strains of John Williams' "Star Wars" score is forever burned into my consciousness. Those lizards scared the crap out of [...]

So I watched Tuesday's broadcast of the new "V" series... Why? Well, nostalgia, mostly. I was a big fan of the original mini-series (still am) and watched both the follow-up and weekly series loyally. But the realization Morena Baccarin was going to be in it tipped the scales (and she's not the only Firefly alumni in the pilot either). So what did I think? Well, one of the things I really...

For the first time in years there's programming on network television that I actually look forward to seeing. Most of it is on Fox, but last night ABC added something to my MUST-SEE list... V . I heard a while back that ABC was going to revive the series / mini-series about an invasion of extraterrestrial aliens disguised as humans: V . There were TWO mini-series and a short-lived series on NBC during...

All the better to French you with, my dear! There's lots to admire about ABC's brand-new reboot of the classic miniseries V . We were correct with our original assumption that the Visitors would be stand-ins for terrorists this time around (as opposed to Nazis), but we thought that positioning them as a terrorist sleeper cell was an inspired touch. However, the one moment that everyone was really...

Spoiler alert! Leaping lizards – cult Eighties sci-fi TV mini-series V is back on our TV screens! 26 years since I hid behind the sofa at the sight of a big-haired Jane Badler scoffing down a poor, hapless guinea pig, our favourite reptilian alien overlords are back – albeit with a slight makeover. Gone are the big hairstyles, orange jumpsuits, huge sunglasses and funny voices –...

Last night the ABC network began airing its troubled reimagining of the classic 1983 television mini-series " V ", with a mere four episode run during the crucial November sweeps period. Reports that the planned 13 episode initial order had been dramatically scaled back may have fueled the mindset that this effort was doomed from the outset. Paired against hit shows "NCIS" and "The...

I remember watching this show in the 80s (1983-1984 to be precise). I found this writer to be very creative concerning this new show: Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to [...] Related posts: Obama Says We’ve Been Waiting Since Teddy...

Amazon.com Widgets SONG : "Aliens Exist" ARTIST : Blink 182 ALBUM : Enema of the State Tonight, ABC premiers the reboot of V , the 80's Sci-Fi mini-series that featured carnivorous reptilian aliens and Marc Singer's perfectly feathered hair. In recognition of this historic event, it seems only natural to feature a song about Aliens. "Aliens Exist" is from Blink 182's seminal, turn...

Filed under: OpEd , Reality-Free , V To prepare for next week's debut of the remake of V , I picked up the V: The Complete Series DVD of the weekly 1984/85 series that followed the original two mini-series, V and V: The Final Battle . I remember loving the original as a kid, sparking my imagination that anyone I saw could be an alien lizard making plans to haul my carcass to a warehouse for storage....

When we first heard the news that ABC had decided to reboot V , that glorious slice of jingoistic eighties awesomeness, the 10-year-old inside of us yelped in anticipatory delight. Our enthusiasm was dulled ever so slightly when we learned that Jane Badler's kinky leather boots would be filled by Morena Baccarin , an actress we've admittedly never heard of but also one who doesn't look as if she possesses...
