johnwilker.com – My Thoughts on V

Be warned if you haven’t watched it yet, stop reading.

I loved V as a kid, it was a great show, good message. Sure it was campy and Jane Badler was a psycho bitch of a bad guy, but it was a great show and set of Miniseries/TV Movies.

I watched the new V the other night and while I think it’s got promise, and I admit, it’s a “re-imagining” it’s got some work to do to measure up to the original.

Sure networks today, are run by retards, who give a show 1 episode to hit #1 and if it doesn’t they cancel so they can air more Dancing|singing|boxing|dieting with the stars, so I hope V get’s a chance to work out the kinks.

Just freakin’ cool! It [...]

Ok V looks bad ass!

I gotta say the cast of characters looks good too, though I recognize very few of them, so I’m guessing they’re not staying with the canon from the original show, kind of a bummer, since Donovan was bad ass for a photo journalist!

V coming back! Watch out white mice and guinea pigs!

I read V: The Second Generation, when it came out in paperback, and it defintiely captured the story of the Visitors and the Resistance. It should it, it was written by the original creator of the series.
