Coming Into It's Own
The original "V" mini-series and "V: The Final Battle" were ground breaking, riveting dramas that were essentially a play on the history of the Nazi party and it's rise to power. The original "V" was one of the most watched mini-series of the 1980's and won international acclaim for it's powerful story and strong performances. The 1980's TV series spin-off that followed did not come even remotely close to living up to either mini-series. The show started with an interesting idea but was destroyed by poor writing, low budgets and uninspired direction and was inevitably cancelled. Toward the end, the only thing the original TV series had going for it was the performance of the always exceptional Jane Badler as evil lizard overlord, Diana.
Season 1 of "V", the remake, updated the original 1980's mini-series for a new century while maintaining the promise of the original by adapting the story to fit into a world more concerned with international terrorism than...
Big Improvement *Spoilers*
V Season 2 is a giant improvement over the first season. The season premiere picks up where the first season finale left off...the red sky. We start to learn a lot more about the V's this season including exactly what they look like under their human skin. This season also marks the return of Jane Badler from the original as Diana. She plays the mother of Anna and the scenes between them are awesome. Mark Salling from the original V also appears in the finale, leaving his role open for season 3. The show is a lot more interesting this season with betrayals, shocking deaths, twists, new characters and more. If you thought the first season was okay, you are sure to like this season.
Awsume series
This is a wonderful series. The writers and the producers are beyond reproach with putting this series together. the actors are well beyond profetionalism and really bring you into the story. the series has not been canceled as of yet but only delayed acording to ABC. There arent very many SCI FI action dramas out there and right now ABC basicly has a huge fan base to pool from. if they actually cancel this show it would set ABC back with all the other bland progaming the other networks have at the moment.
I hope this series goes on for many more seasons and my hats off to all the wonderful hard working men and women who make V the Series what it is.
Edit:7/18/2011 Now that the show is officially canceled i absolutely refuse to support ABC nor will i watch any of their programming. The executives appear too be mindless bafoons that would not know good programming if it hit them in there butts. mabie they should run as politicians .... they will fit in with all...
