V: The Remake
April 16, 2009 - Science Fiction - Television
Remember the old SciFi TV Show "V"? Looks like they're remaking it. I certainly liked the cheezy old show in the '84, but what excites me about this remake is that it's written in part by one of the writers of The 4400. In addition, it's got 4400's Joel Gretsch playing the part of a catholic priest. It's also got Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost, Alan Tudyk and Morena Baccarin from Firefly, and Scott Wolf who starred alongside Lost's Matthew Fox in Party of Five.
The original V miniseries was an allegory of the holocaust and Nazi Germany, but Peters told Variety that he won’t be duplicating that concept, though “the new V will still focus on what happens when the masses have blind faith in their leaders,” and it will still open with shots of enormous fleets of alien spacecraft hovering over the world’s major cities.
The new series centers on a Homeland Security agent, much as The 4400 centered on a pair of NTAC agents. I just wonder if we'll get a slow-minded rat-munching alien played by Freddy Kreuger.

Yup... It will be a stretch for a lot of dimwitted liberals to believe that those people trying to protect us from the people trying to kill us are the good guys.
Classic!
Classic!
I did like the "V" miniseries, although the weekly show got stale pretty fast, which is probably why it ran for only one season.
Guess we wait and see . . .
