This week’s V episode –Pound of Flesh
How many Fifth Column are aboard the New York mothership? seems like a bunch ..shame Georgie got caught though.
And what will the V baby look like? I bet it’ll be a bit green…
But the big mystery is about Tyler Evans – what are his parents hiding and why is he so special? Is he really some kind of Alien too?

After four months of waiting – we finally get V back.
And what do we get?
Anna mating.
Then eating her mate.
That was weird.
Beyond that did anything really happen in this episode? We know that Anna is building an army now – and so is the resistance. We know the R6 is looking for something within humans that the V’s need.

V is back TONIGHT!! 4 months later..but it’s back and we’re thrilled!
It’s crazy that ABC would shaft this show for so long – let’s hope that they give it at least 10 episodes more before the next hiatus hits.
Sides are forming, plans are shaping, and the world is coming together for tonight’s anticipated return of ABC’s V – one of the fall’s biggest new series. The Visitors arrived on Earth bearing messages of hope and healing, but some know their true face and are forming the Resistance to stop the V’s before it’s too late.
ABC has also put up a really cool 4 minute – V (re) cap of the show to date which is a great refresher to watch ahead of the 10 pm new show tonight.
V – recap was good fun March 24, 2010

We really like the way that ABC does these recap shows just before the second part of the season starts.
After all – with V in particular – it has been three months since we last saw the visitors and not everyone remembers everything.
Having the recap is a great way to get caught up and to get excited for what’s coming – which is next Tuesday and big mothership invasion!
V – Aliens have poisoned the Flu vaccine with R6 virus – and how about that bliss? November 24, 2009

The Flu vaccine is all part of an Alien/Lizard/V/Visitor conspiracy.
I knew there was a good reason why we didn’t get the H1N1 vaccine.
BUT THE WHAT THE FRAK? Does ABC have no ethics? Plant a story about the flu vaccine being a route for alien control? rly? Aren’t people scared enough about the Flu vaccine already????
For a final episode – and oh yeah after 4 episode no more V till 2010 – if ever – this wasn’t a great episode – a little slow.
Sure we’ve got an Alien armada is space waiting to annihilate us all, and sure Joshua on the New York Mothership skinned one of his own Fifth column pals…(is Joshua really John May?)…but not really a mega cliffhanger.
Overall V is a great show, decent characters, decent plot and a clear reboot over the 1980’s franchise – but ABC moronic decision to cut the show short here is the real alien conspiracy – why cut the show off now? IDIOTS.
V – John May Lives ! The Visitor fifth column! and Lisa is Anna’s daughter? November 17, 2009

Who is John May? ABC’s V is really picking up steam now with the emergence of the V Fifth Column. We have no idea who John May is, but no doubt he’s well hidden.
The whole Fifth Column thing was the biggest revelation in this third episode of the new V (official episode title is:A Bright New Day
It’s neat that the Fifth Column have member on board the NYC mothership – that was cool and unexpected.
But how did they convince Mary Faulkner to like the V’s? They connected here to their matrix/hub didn’t they? It’s some kind of drug that makes everyone happy.
Last but not least – how about Lisa (played by Toronto actress Laura Vandervoort??
No not a naked scene (this is ABC after all), but still that was …’interesting’.. especially since we now know hooking up with Tyler is all about pleasing her own mom – the leader of the ‘V’ s herself Anna!

The second episode of ABC’s V was another really great episode.
The key character is really shaping up to be FBI Agent Erica Evans played by actress Elizabeth Mitchell.
She’s strong, tough and saavy. And how about that shower scene? No nudity. And that’s a good thing. It means she’s serious and the shows producers are not treating her as some kind of sex object. She’s a hero.
We think that Agent Erica will end up leading the human resistance overall, she’s got what it takes. In many respects, we think she’ll take on the role that Michael Ironside had in the original V series as the tough no-nonsense military leader of the Resistance.
Overall, the sophistication of the series so far is superb. There are so many layers to the plot that it’s clear this show has legs — so long as ABC doesn’t cut this show off at the knees.
V remake not great, but not bad November 3, 2009

The ABC remake of V kicked off tonight.
No there is no Diana – instead the head of the Vistors is Anna (a Scifi veteran of both Stargate SG-1 and Firefly).
I don’t recall the Visitors in the original series being called the ‘V’s, I also specifically remember the graphitti tagging of V was done by the resistance.
V for victory.
That aside, the visitors are still Lizards, they’re still evil and I figure they’ll still eat human.
The FBI mom Erica is a great character and she puts a strong female face on the resistance. Overall pacing of the show was a little slow and jittery. It lacked a proper flow, the background ambient music was wrong and all the characters at this point are a little stiff.
Still, there is hope for this show, it’s got a bit of a twist on the original, enough to keep us interested. NO this is not a Battlestar Galactica class of re-imagining, but it’ll do for now.
V will only have 4 episodes in 2009. ABC Fraks over SciFi fans, again September 29, 2009

ABC sure knows how to kill a good SciFi show before it even starts.
A report in Variety today has confirmed that ABC will only air four (4) episodes of V this year.
That means the show will start – on November 3rd – and then effectively die.
The show is supposed to start up again in March, but what the frak is the point?
Four episodes and then cut us off? WTF is ABC’s problem?
Yes i know the Olympics are in early 2010, but that doesn’t mean V shouldn’t be on. Why couldn’t there be more episodes this year?
To put on a show, only air 4 episode then give your audience ‘the finger’ is what ABC is doing. They are tell us, the Science Fiction loving public, that they don’t care, they’re just filling in time slots.

V is coming to ABC on Nov 3, 2009 and we’re excited as FRAK to see it.
Will this be a re-imagined masterpiece like Battlestar Galactica?
That’s what we all hope for isn’t it?

As we reported back in October – a remake is in the works for the 80’s scifi classic – V (V is for victory!!).
Variety is now reporting that ABC has picked up the pilot – which is not being written by Original V writer-producer-director Kenneth Johnson.
Still makes no sense to me. Why not just use Johnson and his
V: The Second Generation
take…but hey guess that’s why the pay the studio guyz the big bucks
V is for (victory) REMAKE. How slimy is that? October 11, 2008

V is coming back to TV but not as a sequel as we first would have guessed – but as a remake.
tHAT Just sucks. The original V was awesome and doesn’t need a remake – there is also a perfectly good legitimate sequel that should be made. V the Second Generation is written by the original author of V and is the proper successor to V not some remake.
According to SciFi Wire:
The new V will center on Erica Evans, a Homeland Security agent with an aimless son who’s got problems. When the aliens arrive, her son gloms on to them, causing tension within the family. As in the original V, several storylines will unfold simultaneously…As in the ’80s version, the show will open with an enormous army of spaceships hovering over the world’s major cities.Original V writer-producer-director Kenneth Johnson recently attempted to revive V as V: The Second Generation but is not involved in the Peters version.
What a shame!!

Remember V?
V – is for Victory? The classic 80’s SciFi series?
It could be coming back to a screen near you soon…though in the new series based on the new bestseller from the original creator of V – the Vistors have never left …they’ve held control of the planet for over 25 years.
Guess V ..really stood for Vanquished.
