V review
Posted : 12 years, 11 months ago on 18 May 2011 06:08
It didn't surprise me that "V" was cancelled. It was OK but it really ticked me off when they brought back Jane Badler (presumably to get fans of the 80s "V" to watch) only to kill her off. Really?! I suppose bringing back Marc Singer in the season finale was a last-ditch effort to save the show. It's a bummer that we'll never know the details about the anti-V organization that was introduced in the season finale.

Attack of the Leaping Illogical Lizards

This is a review of two seasons of the re-imagined 1980s mini-series/tv show, V. The basic premise involves aliens coming to Earth under the guise of peace and cooperation but whose ultimate goal is to enslave humanity along with the rebels who are fighting them.
V is a superficial science fiction show - glossy, sometimes entertaining but lacking in substance. It's such a shame as there are a number of interesting story lines that the show introduces: what makes an individual human, the side effects of interbreeding between visitors and humans, terrorism, collaboration. But for some reason the writers never delve deeper and often times characters end up doing illogical things in order to serve the plot.
It's a frustrating experience watching V because I really wanted to like it. There are some good episodes: 2.6 - Siege is one of them but they are few and far between that often times I felt like I was watching the same episode over and over again. I had a hard time caring about the human characters because they were just so boring and one dimensional.
V had the potential to be an interesting, thought provoking show but settled for being mediocre.

Nice idea for a show .. new way to express the aliens or whatever they call them here .. I really Like Elizabeth Mitchell and I like Joel Gretsch as well .. so the cast is great .. Looking forward to season 2 ..

My take so far

It hits at a rating of half the ratings due to these points.
This show is a remake of the original 1983 mini-series.
Some roles have changed and of course who plays these new rolls.
It is more up to date of technology as we would believe.
The one thing that has not changed is this alien race seems to be nameless but to be called "V" or visitors. But this time they are called "the V's"
