Does it really matter? The original was made almost 30 years ago and alot of the people in this forum and ABC's current audience probably don't even remember it. I have no problem with a re-telling of this story.

Is this a re-imagining or just a modern update? I'd be surprised if the remake didn't address the original series' themes.

Looking forwards to this for sure, I'm a huge V fan, have all the comics, all the books, the DVD's...

But this woman ain't no Jane Badler!

Rumor has it that they're getting Jane Badler for a cameo during the season.

Here's the new trailer--it looks pretty good!

I'll tune in and hope it's more Battlestar than Knight Rider.

I knew kenneth johnson released a second book entitled V second generation and was hoping they'd make an adaptation instead of remaking V.

I would much rather had a continuation as well but thats not Hollywood likes to do these day. They would rather reboot the property.

I'm glad they didn't since the book sucked.

Last I heard Kenneth Johnson was still trying to do a remake of the original and then adapt the sequel book to follow it up. Not sure how much luck he will have, but I would like to see him get his way.
