SciFi channel is running a "V" marathon

Oct 27, 2009 11:44 PM
For those of you that are interested, SciFi is running the first & second mini-series, plus all the weekly episodes, starting this Sunday, running thru Tuesday.

I have a feeling that my memories of the show will be better than the actual shows, once I watch them again. :(

V is as silly the second or third time around as it was the first.

Aliens that wear fake people suits so that they saved on costumes and special effects.

Someone eating a bird or rat in each episode... yuck

The alien women are all good looking - at least their people suits are. This in itself doens't make a lot of sense of course, but it ups the fanboy audience.

I think is stil enjoyable to watch.

Even when I am telling a lie I am truthful. :) Rick

I loved the 1st Mini series when it 1st came out, and is still my favorite TV mini series. The 2nd mini sereis was ok and the TV series was so so.
I think the 1st mini won awards for special FX in it's day, but they are dated now. Especially the smaller ships flying and landing.

Loved V the first time as a young teenager.

Hope this one is as good, but I doubt it. Loved Dinah she was soo smokin back then. I was 12 or so though.

I'm not watching it on principle. What the network has done to Kenneth Johnson is an outrage. Very unethical, morally bankrupt.

I was a huge fan in the 80's and was heartbroken when it got cancelled.

Some time back I got the 2 miniseries on DVD and the TV series. I watched the 2 minis, it was awesome, then I put in the weeklies...

And came to the conclusion that I had no taste at all back in the 80's. I admit I haven't watched all the series episodes again (I did see them all back when first aired). I just can't do it. It's too horrible.

Having the fuzzy nostalgic memories was better.

The new one might be good, or not. I don't have a TV so I won't know. From what I've seen I don't like it. Part of the old appeal was the aesthetic which seems largely missing. At least they could have kept the snazzy red uniforms.

I got bored with the old series very quickly, but the new one is getting strong reviews, so I'll take a look at it.
