First! by TheSultanOfErato	May 20th, 2009 02:18:33 PM
I've just always wanted to do that. Sweet.

Kinda looks like an anti-Obama metaphor don't it? by Iron-kong	May 20th, 2009 05:24:06 PM
But probably not. Though why doesn't anyone ever explore in a movie or book leftist extremism? The whole righ-wing/fascism nightmare scenario is played out and boring. I mean, seriously, extremism of any form is dangerous and leads to only one outcome- total rule by a few. Fascism and communism are two sides of the same coin. Let's get our emotions under control, and look at our government as the potential problem NOT our potential savior. I now return the soapbox.
V by MapMan	May 20th, 2009 05:27:24 PM
The cool thing about the original mini series was that you didn't know the visitors were lizards in disguise. It was a big shock at the time. Now that everyone knows that - what surprises do they have in store? It looks like the cheese factor has been cut down.
leftst extremism by punto	May 20th, 2009 05:27:50 PM
hasn't all media since after WWII until the early 90s been about leftst extremism? russian spies, all that stuff.

I like it.Let´s give it a chance.
Lisa is much better than Diana by KaelOmont	May 20th, 2009 05:28:25 PM
Morena Baccarin makes you not care she's a lizard. You're willing to take the risk.
Why New York? by landosystem	May 20th, 2009 05:30:59 PM
Everything takes place in New York now, we get it, 911 metaphor, blah blah, Can't we have something other than sitcoms take place in LA anymore?
re: Juliette by MapMan	May 20th, 2009 05:32:44 PM
Also, does this mean Juliette is really dead?? It didn't appear that she had met Jacob in the past as was shown in the other flashbacks.
don't get me started on the media by Iron-kong	May 20th, 2009 05:41:36 PM
If this series reflects the media at all, then they need to be portrayed as the soul-selling whores that they really are. Would any modern "journalist" have ANY qualms about not reporting the truth? Puh-leez

Mediocre casting by Xaximus	May 20th, 2009 05:47:04 PM
The cast does nothing for me, and Morena's boy-cut makes me flaccid.
Skip the first 2 episodes by estacado1	May 20th, 2009 05:47:15 PM
Start watching when things really get going. And this whole religion thing gives a bad BSG vibe. Throw away the religion stuff, and this is a winner.
Thought this would suck but I'm being won over by Nem_Wan	May 20th, 2009 05:49:55 PM
No more Beastmaster vs. Pouty Bitch but hey, the '80s are way over. New V looks right for the times.
yeah, this has turned me around. by notspock2	May 20th, 2009 06:14:08 PM
I always thought V was ripe for a remake, but the ideas they were proposing sounded way off. Having said that, most of the clips are pretty good. i think this is a must see.
Embrace Change by corporategohan616	May 20th, 2009 06:14:57 PM
Yes reptilian aliens who appear to be human want to enslave humanity... If only Marvel would try this with the Skrulls..
I give it six episodes. Tops. by V'Shael	May 20th, 2009 06:22:56 PM
I just can't see it being the genre defining tv that the original was. Mostly because everyone knows the story.
THE VISITORS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS!!! by Master Bruce	May 20th, 2009 06:30:11 PM

HOPE AND CHANGE by TheMarineBiologist	May 20th, 2009 06:31:17 PM
Yeah, I'm down... They probably aren't meaning for this to be an Anti-Obama show, but that is how I am currently taking it.
Looks better than the Caprica seres by lockesbrokenleg	May 20th, 2009 06:40:47 PM
I kind of wished BSG would have gone in that direction. The skinjobs hide out on Caprica and then we see how they planned the attack.
RE: What surprises they have in store by diseptikon	May 20th, 2009 06:48:40 PM
I fear there will be some twist that a key human will be an alien this whole time and thus lead to the mandatory twist that every tv show has these days.
Getting good buzz. Here's how not to ruin it: by Greggers	May 20th, 2009 06:50:17 PM
Have a freaking plan for the whole series. Map out exactly how many seasons you want to tell this story, and have a clear idea of how you want to get there. For the love of God, don't make it up as you go along -- don't indulge in the Battlestar Galactica jackassery of pulling the secret six out of your ass at the 11th hour. Be entertaining, but almost as importantly, create a story with some narrative integrity.
That's what I love about the modern Amurkan Conservative by Rhuragh	May 20th, 2009 06:50:30 PM
They have very VERY short-term memories, and little grasp of the facts. The top two works of dystopian literature, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World, both depict the horrors of a _left_ wing society run amok. As for films, hell, last year saw "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex" nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. Being the uneducated uninformed freetards that you are, I should inform you that it's about a group in the German Red Army Faction, a leftist terrorist group. Not just a nominee, but the winner of the same award in 2007 went to "Das Leben Der Anderen," another German film about the evils of the East German (ohh, evil socialists!) Surveillance society. Ignorant conservative trolls are so easy to knock down.
sigh....lizards by dahveed1972	May 20th, 2009 06:51:34 PM
kinda hoping theyd go in a new direction with this. i mean, we know for a fact that aliens from another part of the galaxy ARE NOT GONNA LOOK LIKE US. the payoff is fucking lame and tired and outdated damit!
So, I get the metaphor about subtle modern fascism by Raymar	May 20th, 2009 06:53:34 PM
not being all obvious with swastikas and stuff, but not even one red jumpsuit? C'mon! Looks good though!
Atrocious CGI, but it It looks good. by SylarTheCylon	May 20th, 2009 06:55:20 PM
The original ship designs were much better than these babylon 5 rejects, what a shame they had to use such lame, shiny, gray designs. It looks very very cheap, and it makes me wonder if they used Lightwave 5 on an Amiga or something. Morena looks sexy! Originally i thought casting Jody Lynn O'Keefe as Diana would have been obvious, but now i can see the genius in having Morena instead. She's very elegant, and has a certain spark in her eyes, like theres massive brain power in that head of hers. Rica e Inteligente...
On topic: by Rhuragh	May 20th, 2009 06:57:04 PM
This trailer looks awesome. They appear to have perfectly captured the socio-political commentary that made the first one such enduring cultural imagery. Of course, it remains to be seen whether the authoritarian society depicted is right-wing (fascist) or left-wing (communist). Doubtless, ideologues on both sides will claim that it depicts their chosen adversary. Both will forget that the true enemy isn't how far left or right the economic policies are, but how authoritarian (as opposed to social libertarian) the policies are.
Anna's eyes by mike allegretto	May 20th, 2009 06:58:25 PM
in the first trailer when Anna is staring out a window on the mothership for about 1/10 of a second you can see her change her eyes from lizard to human.

ABC has already announced that V is planned as a 4 year series with a beginning, a middle and an end. The series bible has already been planned out from start to finish.
I wish I lived in Europe. by Rhuragh	May 20th, 2009 07:05:18 PM

"new direction"??? by slone13	May 20th, 2009 07:05:45 PM
It's V. If it didn't have lizard people, it wouldn't be V.
Wow, that was terrible. by There Are Twelve Models	May 20th, 2009 07:28:39 PM
The actors reached truly eyebrow-singeing levels of awful and don't get me started on the CGI because it would only lead to a Windows-vs-Mac style incoherent rant. That blond chick was terrible, just terrible, the most generic form of instantly forgettable network acting. I've seen the original series on DVD and despite a rocky finish it won me over. Now there's a series that laid out its cards and played them to a convincing finish (assuming we omit the laughable sequel with the goofy reptile baby). I miss the metallic rasp of the Visitors' voices, one of the funnest things about the first series. So where is it? Did they take it out just to stick a fork in the eye of the first series? Truly pathetic when the Toys-R-Us model spaceships of the old miniseries beat what's on display here like a red headed stepchild. The networks do NOT understand sci-fi anymore. They keep getting it wrong, wrong, wrong. Between the backwash flavored FLASH FORWARD and this miserable imaginative failure of a series there'll be another two nails in the coffin of network SF.

Shot Over Rio by RichardAlpert_TimePimp	May 20th, 2009 07:33:45 PM
was really cool, the ship looked well-implemented and pretty real in that one. I continue to like what they are showing. and..THEYRE LIZARDS!
YAWN! by Alfie Boy	May 20th, 2009 07:36:39 PM

Dick Wolf's gonna have a beef with the V's.... by PennsyDeux	May 20th, 2009 07:37:23 PM
He says that only he can coin the word 'mothership'. ;)
More evidence of implosion by There Are Twelve Models	May 20th, 2009 07:39:41 PM
The first miniseries made the point that the Visitors intentionally marginalized and persecuted scientists. Scientists were the only people capable of seeing through the evil alien propaganda and figuring out what they were really doing to the planet. It looks like the reimagined version takes a heavily religious spin on things, dumping upsidedown everything the first series stood for and larding it up for creationist mouthbreathers in the Midwest and South. (I live in the Midwest, all I can say is at least it's not the South.) What a depressing and dystopian view of humanity if the only way we can be saved from alien invaders is by senseless devotion to 2,000 year old fairy tales instead of relying on the God-given brains and ingenuity that actually improve people's lives. There's a reason, you know, they call it _science_ fiction, not wishful thinking fantasy fiction.
This is SCIFI channel bad by SWEEP	May 20th, 2009 07:41:04 PM
Really mediocre casting. Scott Wolf? What Stephen Dorff and John Schnieder unavailable? The CGI is atrocious. This is some Mansquito bullshit.
I'm on board by The_Ed_Carden	May 20th, 2009 08:04:53 PM
Looks pretty cool to me. But then again, V is pretty big source of childhood nostalgia for me. Still, it wouldn't surprise me if it ended up sucking. As much as I loved the original as kid, it was canceled for a reason. Either way, I'm gonna give "ULTIMATE" V a shot.
PennsyDeux by titpunch	May 20th, 2009 08:13:44 PM
If use of the word "mothership" is to be restricted to one man, please let that man be George Clinton.
There Are Twelve Models by bah	May 20th, 2009 08:27:14 PM

She did Angelina Jolie in Gia. Have you done that? No.

I respectfully disagree. I mean, I don't really care about Scott Wolf one way or the other, but I know people said the same shit about Matthew Fox before Lost. Look how that turned out for him

Do most of you people come to this website to bitch about EVERYTHING that comes out? To those that constantly have something bad to say about a project: How about putting out something yourselves. This new V looks pretty cool to me.

Dude. The eyes. They're crazy. It's a well-documented condition of the pupils...an indicator of future mental instability.
I don't know how to vote on this one yet. by Royston Lodge	May 20th, 2009 10:19:37 PM
It could work. I like Scott Wolf. I just kinda wish they'd kept some of the production design of the original, in the same way that Battlestar Galactica managed to. I also really fear that they've completely thrown out the Nazi allegory and replaced it with an "evil corporate Republicans" allegory.
Hopefully this show keeps Johnson's vision alive by Sithdan	May 20th, 2009 10:20:20 PM
The original V was not about aliens and flying saucers; it was a political allegory about the nature of power. A lot of you little kids on this board wouldn't understand that...it goes way over your heads.
mistergreen by rfid	May 20th, 2009 10:25:12 PM
Because there is nothing cool or interesting about American Idol.

Lots and lots of exposition, explanations for what's going on, and they ruin the big reveal for the kids that never saw the original.

Although, the last episode on tonight was pretty entertaining.. We go to see Santana, Kiss, Queen, Cindy Lauper... It was like the Grammys but better.
SHIT UTTER FUCKING SHIT by Sgt.Steiner	May 20th, 2009 10:45:57 PM
Evil Corporate Republican Aliens: "We bring de-regulation!" But seriously, taking a symbol of the WW2 resistance movement and re-appropriating as a pro-Visitor symbol? That's pretty fucking stupid. Also, Homeland Security has been done as dystopian metaphor. It was called "Minority Report", fuckers! And, lastly, name one character as hot as Diana or as affable as Marc Singer in this trailer, and you are just plain fucking wrong! The effects look patently fake. In fact, the whole thing looks cheap. The original miniseries and its sequel had big ominous sets and Scary German Guy and Michael fucking Ironside as Ham Tyler! Yes, the Starchild and the birth were weak sauce, but outside of that, what shit was there to top? The iconic, the badass combat photography of the opening, the sense of anticipation. And the media as sell out whores theme was present in the original. People worshipping the Visitors? Not even Jesus freaks are that nuts. And, another thing, if you seriously believe Barack Obama is pillar of socialism, you really should read more. Only Sarah Palin I could see worshipping an alien. Interspecies abstinence: it works!

OMG Run for the hills! They're going to turn us all into back bacon and Timbits! Aaaaaaah! Jeez how many Canadians did you spot in that trailer? If they're not guest starring on '24' the rest of them are on this show by the looks of it (c'mon! the host of Street Cents as a reporter? Puh-lease!).

too much trust, too little info. i see IronKing above beat me to the idea, but it was my thought exactly. I mean, it's about time someone pointed out that everyone's giving him too much credit for NO Reason. Past Performance? None. Record to Run On? none. Real Results? none. Anything other than smoke blown up our asses? None. Any evidence that he's NOT a secret radical working at the behest of others? NONE. Of course, you can't prove a negative.... Just kidding. It'd be interesting if a show did like an extended Manchurian Candidate kind of thing, like Kings, only in the real world. Maybe the guy who did the Shield can team up wtih Sorkin or something.... what? More lunatic ravings? Of course they are. They all are.

Obama, ha, do some research by CrazyGnome	May 20th, 2009 11:44:57 PM
The author of 'V' is anti-Bush, and just wrote a 'V' sequel that is specifically about the Bush administration. It will be fun if the right adopts this as about Obama. The first 'V' was very political, and this will be too. You more conservative viewers may want to watch something else if they are easily agitated by liberal television. Side note, they should have had the original 'V' music for this as they panned back from the V.
The Mothership Looks Like An Inflatable Toy by eoneon	May 21st, 2009 12:26:33 AM

doodler: I don't think the aliens represent Obama... by ccchhhrrriiisssm	May 21st, 2009 12:41:56 AM
Unless, of course, they decide to raise income taxes, capital gains taxes, soda taxes, etc... Of course, they use the same sort of rhetoric and demand that the media treat them in a good light. I wonder: Do the aliens rely on 25 speech writers and a couple of well-paced teleprompters?

If ABC has the foresight to pair V w/ Lost at mid season... by exie	May 21st, 2009 01:22:55 AM
They will own that night of TV. It kind of makes me miss the days when Invasion played with Lost. I loved that show and was pretty pissed it got canceled just as it hit its stride. V & Lost together though? ABC will own the key demo aged geeks for one night a week.
looks OK... but we know it all already by echobase	May 21st, 2009 01:24:15 AM
Nothing new I'm afraid... Remaking movies is not enough, is it? Now we get re-makes of tv series....
I'd rather eat a live mouse... by IAmBecomeDeath	May 21st, 2009 01:26:14 AM
I could be wrong, but this looks like a really bad low-budget straight to DVD movie! I watched the original V religiously when it came out and it rocked. Who can forget Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund and Michael "Sam Fisher/Splinter Cell" Ironside alongside Marc "The Beastmaster" Singer battling those reptile hotties Diana and Lydia! I hope they do this remake right. Will we see teen sex and alien babies and more reptile hotties?

small ships by Titus05	May 21st, 2009 02:05:50 AM

I'm in only for Morena and Elizabeth and by Dingbatty	May 21st, 2009 02:54:22 AM
because I'm nostalgic for the original. Sad that ABC keeps trying to make Scott Wolf happen, though. Rather insulting, as if they think all they need to do is fling a Party of Five alum to catch LOST fans interest. Hrrmmm. Party of V. I'd be up for Neve though. Her actor trajectory should be arriving back at TV about now, now that she isn't the new new thing/young lass, unless she is keeping her big screen life afloat by increasingly getting more naked and explicit in her roles.
Yeah, and please include Ironside, by Dingbatty	May 21st, 2009 02:56:46 AM
Englund, Singer, and Badler for recurring, small, or bit roles.

Difference between this and BSG is that this is set in our world, a world where it would no doubt take place. BSG just set up a bunch of BS and asked us to believe in it. NO need to do that here, we all already know about religion, belief and the power of such things.

Predictions by theoldgunslinger	May 21st, 2009 09:10:21 AM
Writers, please prove me wrong. It will turn out that the lizard aliens were from Earth. There's been a group living among us for a long time. The kid's dad will probably have been a lizard or at least killed by one.

Not Independence day! by syklonis	May 21st, 2009 09:34:29 AM
To the user or those who thought of ID4, please. V came out way before ID4 did. When I first saw it I thought they ripped off V with their same, exact round ships. That comment has no merit. As a huge V fan I have to ask where are the red jumpsuits and the awesome nazi looking logos. Please let these be in this new series. All I think we got to see was a glimpse of blue uniforms, at least that's what the blond Lisa character seemed to be wearing.
ID4 by Uncle Pooky	May 21st, 2009 09:45:48 AM
i didn't say they ripped off the concept, i said they ripped off the shots of the ships arriving.

Is it just me, or by basstrombone3	May 21st, 2009 10:16:48 AM
are they getting another "Party of Five" alum to headline an abc show? First Matthew Fox and now Scott Wolf? I think Uwe Boll should executive produce a remake of the classic Batman series on abc and get Adam West to do cameos as a janitor. Lol.
V for Vagina by shutupfanboy	May 21st, 2009 10:23:49 AM
Get back on the topic, I don't expect this to be any good. One, you get rid of Diana, one of the best sci-fi villains and change it to another female who looks like she should be guest hosting the View. The cast looks awful. I like Firefly too, but she looks totally uncomfortable in this role. The rest of the cast looks awful too. Scott Wolf, really, really? Second, it looks like they want to do ID4 instead of V. The V symbol was given by the Holocaust survivors as a symbol for Victory not for Visitor. So, they already lost a ton of mythos there. Not to mention re-naming characters and changing around the character dynamics to attract more female viewers by having the annoying bitch from Lost on the show is not helping matters either. Lastly, its on ABC and they will not do the full blown gross effects like in the original. The giant reveal and the alien birth sequence more then likely will not be shown. If this was on FX it could work, but not on the Disney network. Now to this political thing. If they are trying to bash Obama, then it will fail. Its amazing how people complain about Obama, but forget he is trying to fix the ultra-conversatism that got us into this mess in the first place. People say that liberalism is evil compared to the last 8 years of conservative tyranny, I'll take paying higher taxes compared to getting people killed in a needless war and letting the corporate sector get away with murder. If the show takes an anit-Obama stance then they totally missed the point of the series in the first place.

The show is worth a try just based off of the fact hat the 4400 guy is at the helm. The first season of that show was good. I agree the efects are sub-par, but is it possible (with several months before it's release) that these effects we see in the trailer could be cleaned up? Just something I was pondering.

"Let's get our emotions under control, and look at our government as the potential problem NOT our potential savior." I'm not sure that the one statement automatically follows the other. Government isn't some third party on which things can be blamed. It is a manifestation of our cooperation. We own it. If it's not working properly, then that is our fault.

Cant get past the silliness of the water/hydrogen thing. by Spikey	May 21st, 2009 11:52:51 AM
In reality the first thing any mildly educated person would ask them after thinking about it for a few seconds is why they crossed the galaxy to find water when 2/3rds of H2O is hydrogen, the most plentiful element in the universe. It got away with it in the 80s but surely we need a bit more common sense these days in a premium show?
water supply by kar120c	May 21st, 2009 12:09:26 PM
And if they need the compound water ready-made, why not get it from our comets, Martian ice caps, etc? Quite possibly in the new version they're lying about wanting it, though. Looks pretty good so far. Just wish they'd kept the old character names. Erica Evans vs. Juliet Parish; Chad Decker vs. Mike Donovan; Anna vs. Diana. Seems no contest, why?? When I first heard those names it was like they were trying to make this suck but the newly released trailer/footage is mercifully good.
Will Morena Baccarin and Elizabeth Mitchell have sex... by Fareal	May 21st, 2009 12:31:18 PM

What part of "Iraq is not occupied" do you NOT understand?

I'm assuming they want resources period. by drewlicious	May 21st, 2009 03:01:05 PM
Don't know how well-written this will be but it would be nice to have a show with a reasonable explanation as to why a superior species would be so slow to conquest. My best guess would be preservation of precious resources, not just water. If they're remotely compatible with us then that means a planet they can inhabit is very rare. If they go all out on war, they'll win, but they might lose a lot of what they came for. That makes sense. Either that or humans are just plain delicious and the V's hit the jackpot.
F the lizard aliens... by Kid Z	May 21st, 2009 03:15:22 PM
... there wouldn't be lizard aliens, they'd look like nothing on Earth or ever imagined. Why does every alien in any science fiction movie or series look like some Earth species (reptile, insect, etc.) walking on two legs? (Yeah, yeah, I know... limited FX budgets and Hollywood's notorious lack of any imagination whatsoever)
Alien religions... by Kid Z	May 21st, 2009 03:17:51 PM

Yeah, I hope Juliet from Lost... by Kid Z	May 21st, 2009 03:22:08 PM
... (Sorry, I forget her actual name at the moment) plays a total badass like she does on Lost. Lost to me has been slowly flirting with shark-jumping all this season and it finally happened when Juliet fell down that well and wacked that H-bomb with a rock. Seriously Lindeloff, you should have gotten rid of Kate. Now we all have to deal with Evangeline Lilly phoning in her performance all next year, too... if we don't just give up and tune out until the finale, that is.

Surely if a species has developed interstellar travel they can easily combine all that oh-so-readily-available hydrogen with any all-too-common oxygen and make their own water. Barring that, just fly out to their systems Oort cloud and mines some comets for all they water they'd ever need. No need to get all heavy and put the hammer down on some backwater planet of hairless apes. Even then, they could just find a planet with no sentient life forms and take it over with no hassles. To me, V always was a pretty dumbass concept, I could never understand why such a fandom grew up around such a cheesy series.

Rio de Janeiro? That's so prejudicial! by The Chosen	May 21st, 2009 03:37:48 PM
I mean, why the heck does american filmmakers think there's only ONE city in the hole Latin America? I mean, this is an alien invasion. If they are not the LAME kinds of alien, they should aim for cities that matter. The only thing that matters in Rio is the Christ Redemer Statue. Nothing more. It's not an economical center. Not a political center. Not a military center. It's a TOURISM center. And it's the center of drug crime too, but these aliens don't seem they want a fix. I even understand that they use Rio. If you'd show a skysight of a city that'd really matter, like Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo or Brasilia, no one would recognize it. The scene is there only to show that the aliens are worldwide. Nothing else. But it could be better worked. It's always Rio.
Love the Cheese!! by AdmiralCainsRazor	May 21st, 2009 03:44:38 PM
Is it just me or did anyone else absolutely love the "cheese" factor of the Original? It was classic. Marc (that's right with a C bitches) Singer was awful and awesome. Why does every show have to take itself so seriously nowadays. I love the dark and dreary stuff (BSG) but sometimes it is great to just sit back and laugh at the cheese. Singer should at least get a cameo in this new one. I will be watching regardless.

"Why Rio de Janiero? The only thing that matters in Rio is the Christ Redeemer Statue." And that is precisely why the city is used- it has a large geographical icon that instantly tells every viewer exactly where they are when they see it. Has nothing to do with what the city is or who lives there- its about iconography. Plus, it works in the context of the religious subtext that seems to be lurking within this adaptation.

The invasion would have been over already... they would have revealed that they are destructive aliens and then go on to accidentally tell us their weakness and how we should destroy them. Seriously, Biden's an idiot. He makes Bush look like an academic.

Humanoid aliens. by drewlicious	May 21st, 2009 05:29:16 PM
They're always going to resemeble something we've seen before. Human imagination is limited to what it knows. If it is inconceivable than its not possible for us to conjure it up. So they will always look like humans, lizards, insects, and in one case weird looking elephants(Footfall, check it out). Making them humanoid lizards makes it possible for them to be played by people which is more dramatically compelling especially when you're looking at a limited budget. I would put that detail into the plot, citing genetic compatability as a motive for invasion. Breeding, food source, whatever. It would certainly explain why kid and blonde are flirting. They must be an open minded species because I wouldn't think we'd be any more appealing to them as giant lizards would be to us.
D.Vader... by ccchhhrrriiisssm	May 21st, 2009 05:52:59 PM
No, I don't deny that President CLINTON signed the IRAQI LIBERATION ACT in 1998 that called for military force to remove Saddam Hussein and liberate Iraq. We were "occupiers" only for a short time...until a government could be elected by the people. Now, we are just peacekeepers....just like we are in South Korea, Japan, Germany and other nations following a war.

Why do they have to give everything away? by cjseaton	May 21st, 2009 07:02:46 PM
I remember watching this show when I was a kid and I thought it was so cool when they revealed that the visitors were actually lizard people in human suits. You never saw any of that in the previews for the show. I remember they used a fake advertising campaign to lull viewers into believing that the show was going to different than what it turned out to be so when they sprung the surprise it was even better. They blew the surprise for the reboot in the trailer for crying out loud! I swear nobody knows how to make a good trailer anymore. They show all of the good stuff and leave you to watch the boring crappy parts for 2 or more hours. It looks cool, but they totally went about it wrong from an advertising standpoint. It's too bad Hitchcock ain't still around. He knew how to keep a secret 'til the movie was actually released!
Ummmm....yeah...roiighhhhht... by Arcangel2020	May 21st, 2009 07:22:30 PM
Wow, I feeling...a little..ummm..underwhelmed by THAT trailer! Holy Crap! I was hoping for a major reboot of a classic early 80-ies sci-fi series ala Battlestar Galactica But after seeing what's been done? I ain't likin' what I see so far...and I sould be surprised if ABC cancels this show by mid-season What shame too...it had the potential to be something excellent, if it had been updated in a better fashion
And "Why lizard people? Why not imagine something new?" by D.Vader	May 21st, 2009 07:40:21 PM
Because, as drewlicious said, we imagine what we know. But also, they are lizard people because there is an ACTUAL honest-to-god conspiracy theory that a race of lizard men- be they from outer space or a separately evolved species here on earth- exists, wears human suits, and plans to take over the world. And people believe it. I'm not kidding.

I would tongue-fuck Morena Baccarin's ass all night by Anal Inflictor	May 21st, 2009 10:04:22 PM

Because I'm betting lizard or not, every guy here is thinking how much they'd love to tap Morena's lizard ass.
V or EMT ? by theDORK	May 21st, 2009 11:17:33 PM
V is for Visitors (or Victory) EMT is for Elizabeth Mitchell's Tits. I vote they rename the series. "Previous, on Elizabeth Mitchell's Tits..." Has a nice ring to it, don't you think, folks?

What a twist! by tstaley	May 22nd, 2009 01:42:31 AM
I think they'll pull off some other wacky twist besides the lizard thing. Honestly though why the fuck wouldn't lizard-faced aliens wear human costumes? If they show up all lizardy, your dumbass is going to launch a nuke at their ship, but if they show up all Morenatastic, you'll offer to tonguefuck asses all night long. Seems like a pretty easy decision: nuclear assault or butthole pleasures, hmmmm?
Maybe the Visitors came here because by Dingbatty	May 22nd, 2009 01:44:17 AM
they get their jollies picking on lowly species. Simple explanation/fix. The twist should be, however, that Earthlings are the actual assholes, and the Visitors really were just trying to help the belligerent, poorly evolved naked apes.
tstaley by Dingbatty	May 22nd, 2009 01:46:31 AM
Perhaps it'll be like that Looney Tunes Wolf and Sheepdog series of shorts -- there is yet another type of alien under the lizard skin?
Are you fucking kidding me?????? by Executor	May 22nd, 2009 01:59:27 AM
Yeah, Morena was the hottest thing in the world on Firefly, but she looks TERRIBLE with short hair. Not hot. Not cute. Yeah, her face is still cute, she's a gorgeous girl, but that haircut is the worst. FACT: THERE IS NOT ONE GIRL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT LOOKS BETTER WITH SHORT HAIR THAN LONG HAIR. Scientifically proven. Seriously. I have broken up with girls for getting a haircut. (and for wearing shawls, but that's another story.) SHORT HAIR SUCKS. Sorry for the rant. Thank you.

wow I totally forgot about the Lizard Man conspiracy thoery! by Maniaq	May 22nd, 2009 06:25:10 AM
if I remember correc, the lizard people are supposed to be the Merovingians - but that whole myth has become so muddled throughout the years that a Merovingian can be anything from a Merman (as in Mermaid) - which is more FISH than LIZARD - to the maternal/paternal (depending on who you ask) bloodline of the descendants of the one and only mythical Jesus Christ (a la Da Vinci Code) - the Merovingian Kings... anyway, somebody above said it as a joke (I'm pretty sure, unless my sarcasm-detector is off) but they COULD go the Space:Above and Beyond route in terms of the reason for them being all Earth-centric and maybe even sharing DNA with every other lifeform on the planet - and the big reveal would be THEY ARE ORIGINALLY FROM EARTH and blasted off into space long before the first ape even thought about climbing a tree... AND THEY WANT THEIR PLANET BACK I always thought that was the absolute best part of that show also, I really really didn't want to get all political but FUCK! calling the occupation of Iraq a friggin "peacekeeping force" is so fucking full of shit! that's like calling the Korean War a goddamn "police action" - the country is STILL divided today - more than 50 years later! peacekeeping force?? what a joke! know your history or fucking well repeat it! as the East Germans used to say: FIGHTING FOR PEACE IS LIKE FUCKING FOR VIRGINITY

Aliens having a vacation in Rio by gabo	May 22nd, 2009 10:18:16 AM
If the Alien Motherships are over the major cities of the world, they should not be over Rio. Rio is not a capital of anything, nor has any particular political or economic power of note. Rio is not even the largest city of South America. If the aliens were serious, they would send their South American mothership to Sao Paulo, the largest city in the continent, and the one with real influence and power. But of course, like all gringos they prefer to go to the beach and see Carnaval. Smart lizards :)
I don't know, Executor... by D.Vader	May 22nd, 2009 10:54:05 AM
Natalie Portman sure looked pretty hot when she had short hair... But then, she looked pretty freaking hot with her long, curly/wavy hair at the end of Closer.... tough call.
Favorite V character by ChittyChittyGangBang	May 22nd, 2009 11:19:45 AM
That Hispanic guy that ate that onion right before the road block. He also took quite a beating and didn't give the lizards any info. "I spit in their faces!"
Sigourney Weaver--Alien 3 by drewlicious	May 22nd, 2009 11:43:00 AM
Hows that for short hair? She looked pretty damn good to me. I'll bet Mary Elizabeth Winstead looks hot with her hair cut short for Scott Pilgrim.
Maniaq: Lizard Man conspiracies. by V'Shael	May 22nd, 2009 01:20:39 PM
There's several. The one you mentioned got a lot of traction when the Matrix movie came out (featuring a character called the Merovingian) and of course when the Da Vinci code came out. One of the other main variations is propagated by the English nutbar David Icke. In his version, the Lizards are shape-shifting aliens from another dimension / star system (he's not even consistent in his own delusions) and they've been running the world for the last 6000 years. They drink human blood, and have complex breeding lines to maintain their shape-shifting abilities. Famous shape-shifting blood drinking lizards include (according to Icke) George Bush, the Queen of England, and Kris Kristofferson. (No, seriously, you couldn't make this shit up if you tried.) It goes without saying of course, that while some people can and do make a lot of money pandering to the insane in a cynical way, Icke is actually delusional enough to believe what he spouts. He's batshit crazy, but won't listen any time people try to tell him this.
HEY Uncle Pooky by teh awesome	May 22nd, 2009 01:33:41 PM

Same old same old by zackman	May 22nd, 2009 02:08:06 PM
Why are almost all the alien humanoids "White"? Even on earth "Whites" represent a small percentage of the population. V would be interesting if the aliens looked more distinctive than your average White guy (i.e. not just having spots on their heads).
Probably they just want the whole planet... by kar120c	May 22nd, 2009 02:57:25 PM
More similar to the Nazis (wanting to conquer the world) than the original. Also more plausible. Lugging food (bodies) and water across the galaxy is a project that could not be energy efficent.. though the original Visitors also wanted to use humanity as slaves which makes some sense. In the new one, a resistance fighter says the Visitors' goal is the extermination of the human race. They're obviously compatible with our environment, and habitable planets could be rare in the galaxy. While it shouldn't be THAT hard to kill everyone without nuclear counterstrikes decimating the environment, it's plausible they'd want to use a lightish touch so we don't create a wasteland in our death throes.
Clavius by fanboy71	May 22nd, 2009 03:16:50 PM
You hit the nail on the head. I thought the same thing. I wonder if that's where the original series creator got the idea?
The original had the aliens as different races... by TheSultanOfErato	May 22nd, 2009 06:22:36 PM
One of Diana's offiers was black if memory serves me right. The spots on their skin would look too much like "Alien Nation". The distinct feature of the aliens is there voice. In the original series, it was multi-harmonic. I read somewhere that they were planning on doing the same thing for this series.
D.Vader, I'm with you.... by Big Dumb Ape	May 22nd, 2009 06:51:19 PM

Well I guess Joss Whedons bitch by Series 7	May 22nd, 2009 07:33:41 PM
The pirate guy dies in the first episode. You know he was the best thing about Dollhouse, came in and saved it from going a whole season without having a single good episode.
Am I the only guy who by Series 7	May 22nd, 2009 07:40:32 PM
Thinks that Portman looks like a five year old boy? While I know that is probably a fantasy for a lot of you out there, not me sir.

Just watched the original mini by cylon_conspiracy	May 23rd, 2009 12:23:00 AM
on iTunes for the first time as an adult. What a hell of a show, I can't believe how well it holds up. Lame FX but great acting and writing, if you have those two the effects can suffer and not take you out of the story.

thank god Obama and the democrat led congress have... by Tenenbaum	May 23rd, 2009 12:58:45 AM
ended all those "constitution shredding" Bush policies like wire-tapping, email intercepting, rendition, military tribunals, the Patriot Act, Guantanamo Bay, etc. oh wait...
Tenenbaum: by V'Shael	May 23rd, 2009 03:21:52 AM
At least there are more Democrats complaining about Obama's constitution shredding policies, than there were Republicans who criticised their moron in chief. That shit is wrong, regardless of which party does it. But so far the Democratic voters seem to be the majority in thinking that, and trying to hold their elected leaders to account.

It's OK to be anti-Obama... by UltimaRex	May 24th, 2009 07:01:11 AM
...as long as you keep in mind that McCain would have been far, far worse. That being said Obama is in the hot seat now. The man should expect a little heat. Plus, this is ain't it hate news. If you want to bash something or someone for little to no reason this is the place. Harry himself got on the bandwagon with the TS review...

Do you think Hepburn looked like a 5 year old boy? That's who Portman reminds me of. Looks to me like you got 5yo boys on the brain. As long as that's aversion paranoia then that's OK too... Kinda...
The name Juliet by mercury375	May 24th, 2009 11:46:14 AM
This may have already been mentioned, but just thinking....In the original "V", Faye Grant played Juliet Parish. Elizabeth Mitchell, who is in the new version, played Juliet on "Lost". Coincidence..... or CONSPIRACY!? Kidding, but kind of interesting!

What made the original V great was... by Supermans	May 27th, 2009 02:22:51 AM
The story was anti-Leftist/anti-communism. The aliens used propaganda the same way Hitler did to make himself a savior to his people and in the same way Obama currently has used it to get himself elected by outspending Johm Mcain 30:1 in campaign ads that don't explain what change he really intended to do for the country. Ultimately without the original cast intertwined somehow with this movie, I just can't figure myself enjoying it..
Iron-kong by berserkrl	May 27th, 2009 12:26:27 PM
"Though why doesn't anyone ever explore in a movie or book leftist extremism?" So, you don't read much? "I mean, seriously, extremism of any form is dangerous and leads to only one outcome- total rule by a few" So anarchism, say, leads to rule by a few? How's that work?
