Anyone remember the TV Series "V" ??

Ziroc · 11-27-2001, 06:27 AM

It started in 1986 I think as a 10 hour mini-series, then had a tv series that lasted 1 season.. I really loved it back then. NOW I look back and it looks cheesy, but still kinda brings back memories..

I actually watched a number of those shows. Yeah it was really cheesy.
But we were so hard up for Sci Fi on TV back then. I would have watched about anything. The Mini series was ok as I remember though.

Oh Ziroc, I LOVED V. One of the best things ever shown on TV - although the 2nd 'series' where the girl grew up sucked big-time, the original was superb! Oh, the '80's hairstyles! I just loved it, included good social comment, but not in a patronising or preachy way.

Yes indeed. I watched every episode and read the books. Funny, when Earth Final Conflict came out the first thing that went through my mind was "V" spin-off!

Ahhh I remember that show.I was quite young when I saw it and I loved it.I remember,it came on once a week and it was the first time I was allowed to stay up late to watch anything.I think it aired at like ten o clock or something.

The mini-series was good, but I didn't like the TV show. I saw the mini-series again about a year or two ago on The Sci-Fi channel.

oh I remember V, I was 11 or 12 and became a big fan, watched it every week... except of course the last episode, I had to go on a schooltrip and missed it. Kinda sucked... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Actually, there were 2 mini-series, followed by the "regular" series.

The first mini-series ended with the beginnings of the revolt against the Visitors.

The second mini-series was all about the world wide revolution and the birth of the cross-species baby. (Actually twins. The human looking one that survived and the alien looking one that did not.)

Wow, now thats a long walk on the memory lane..
Yep I remember seeing it here on Swedish TV.. Hehe, was the best ever back then!

Hehe, bad effects and everything but back then it was really cool!

Hmm, why don´t they make a comeback with V? Ithink I have a couple of comics from V as well hehe..
