I remember when I saw Independence Day, and I was wondering when Marc Singer was going to show up ;) Oh wow, I just bought the DVD of the original mini-series a couple weeks ago because I saw ‘The Second Generation’ in the book store.

Definitely good news that the series creator would be helming up this idea! Viva la resistance!! This would be a long overdue movie.

V:The Final Battle had a few great moments and the general story was decent but somehow i could not bring myself to ever buy it on DVD. i also gave away my VHS copy. However, i do own the original miniseries on DVD and watch it regularly. despite the 80's cheese, the story is solid and the characters have great interactions. "I'm proud to have you as a friend." "I hope we live to be old friends." -Mike Donovan + Martin one of the only good parts of the final battle was the fate of daniel...which actually led to the sequence with the homemade gas chamber and the fate of pretty boy lizard. "Talk about an offer we can't refuse." "I wonder what would happen if we did."

Someone above mentioned Robert Englund as Willie- but who can forget Michael Ironside as Tyler? I also admit going ga-ga over Jane Badler (at least until her best alien moment arrived-"The Rat Snack") and Faye Grant was cute as a button. But y'know something? The OC-ish alien knocking up some chick who later gives alien birth and then puts the father of her hybrid in the homemade gas chamber?? <strong>Gold!</strong> As a fan of V, I am thrilled. Some sci-fi geeks want Stormtrooper outfits. Some want browncoats. Me? Red uniform and hi-tek helmet! It was only a matter of time before someone dusted this off anyway. Buck Rogers...Twiki...you are next! “V” had some cheese, yes, but there was something that put it ahead of the rest of sci-fi at the time, and that is simply the social commentary, the lizard like aliens being equal to that of Nazi Germany.

I think a remake is a good idea because it could use a face lift. And you're right those aliens scared the crap out of me too. I agree will Meli, the eighties digs really have to go.

You might want to check it out though I warn you some of it is 80s cheese at its finest. Still, it was a fun bit of sci-fi for the time and I still have a big soft spot for it. It also was a short lived series as well. Robert Englund played a good alien named Willie. I'm geeking out over the possibility of an updated version made for the big screen. Lizard people disguised as humans who eat mice?? I remember the first time I saw them eat live mice...oh ...I was horrified!! Kristina – V was this fabulous miniseries in the early 80s.

That logo looks a lot like the V For Vendetta thing, just w/o the circle. I've never heard of this miniseries before now. I got confused for a second.
