Has anyone else been catching the commercials on ABC for the reboot of the series V? I hope the series carries the effect the quick previews are giving. It looks much more sinister than the original. It's starring Morena Baccarin (from Serenity) as the leader of the Visitors. I like her as a replacement for "Diana". (also caught Gina Torres of Serenity acting in the new series Flash Forward. I kinda like the show but the premise still seems a bit silly yet) Edited by lgm, Oct 9 2009, 06:20 AM.

I don't like this apparent trend of remaking old shows and either making them "darker" or being a parody. I'd like to see them revive The Flash series with a less bulky costume that won't make the actor constantly sick and keep the same tone as the original. Same for The Six Million Dollar Man, but they could rename it Cyborg after the book it was based on. |

It only appears they are adjusting V to have it make more sense or update it a little. If anything, the previews give off a more creepy, sinister vibe which is great for the series. Morena makes for an overly nice but very evil leading lady. Much awesome. I have high hopes and they better not be dashed! |

It was pretty awful. Which was unfortunate, because Michelle Ryan was pretty good in Jekyll. But that show was just awesome in general. |

I'm liking how Anna (Morena) portrays innocence and hope yet is extremely sinister. I like it more than the evil Diana of the original and works better considering the metaplot. |

She was a good casting choice for a deceptively evil reptile. :blink:

Part of her deception is her being hot which I know you can appreciate. Your vile Canadian trickery brings all the boys to the yard. |

She's hot but slender enough that viewers, knowing the truth, can infer certain reptilian features. |

Hot dang! Alan Tudyk is credited in the pilot, too. This is the real V. We secretly begin recording a series of media that gradually reunite the Serenity crew and writers one by one. The actors secretly film the secret scripts the secret writers secretly write at secret meetings, until the next seasons are all recorded. And then the entire sequel series is unleashed upon an unsuspecting Fox channel, which suddenly finds itself overrun by rioters angry that this show had to be produced in secret. And the Firefly crew steals all our water, too. But we don't really care, because we've got six more seasons to watch. |

I don't want to lose Castle though wouldn't mind seeing Flash Forward fall on its face to free up Gina Torres. |

Yeah, I'm enjoying Castle, but there's not a show on TV today that I wouldn't burn down the set if that'd give me more Firefly. |

Just read that ABC is hiring skywriters to write V's around cities across the US in various cities and landmarks. Atlanta will have one on the morning of October 26. I'm not sure anyone who doesn't remember seeing the ads will have any clue to what a V in the sky means. Apparently the aliens don't think Canada or Phoenix is important enough as their skies won't be marked. NYC has 4 dates and Hollywood has 5. I was hoping they may burn down those cities as a promotional event but, alas, the studios have long ago stopped accepting my calls. |

Huh, just saw a text blurb on SyFy that the next movie coming on today is V: Original Series. Could it be the true original? That would be awesome. |
