V reboot - first 8 minutes online.

Courtesy of AICN. I`d have to say it looks ok, but rebooting a series like this seems pretty pointless

Im in two minds about this, Im looking forward to it as a fan of the original mini series and then tv series, but also as a fan of the original series I hope it does it justice. Ive read that its a `reimagining` of V but will feature some of the iconic moments from the show, so I suppose only time will tell. Im going to watch it, well 4 episodes and then the long wait till next year...if it comes back at all...I know from previous experience how many U.S shows vanish after a handful of episodes.....

I think the writers of the new Stargate have a mandate to fit an awkward, gratuitous sex scene into every episode. Ah well, at least there`s hope for a Ming Na lesbian romp.

As for V, I`ll give it a go. Big fan of the original and it has both Morena Baccarin and Laura Vandervoort in it, so there`s eye candy. Bird from Lost is okay as well. I do miss the red jumpsuits and jackboots of the original though!

Battlestar shows that these reboots can sometimes work, so it would be silly to dismiss it.

I liked the miniseries and I really want it to be good because I`ve been looking forward to it for ages, but I`m not optimistic about its chances now because of the problems it`s had and the network`s decision to put it on hiatus for months after the first 4 eps.

UK Sci Fi Channel has started advertising it as coming 2010, so maybe after the US gap they`ll show it to be only a week or so behind like they are with Dollhouse season 2.

I really liked it; enough of it was the same, but enough had a different spin. I`d have liked it to be slightly slower paced or longer so that I SPOILER:
could have known Alan Tudyk`s character a bit longer so it would`ve been more of a shock. I guessed he`d be a Visitor quickly because I couldn`t remember reading that he was going to be in it! :D


At the start it was shown to be morning in NYC but dark in London... :/

I enjoyed it but as XFG said there was a lot crammed into the first episode, a couple of weeks building the story a lil more would have been nice as weve been thrown right into the story, fine for those of us who enjoyed the original but if you were not familiar with V there was a lot to take in within the first episode
