For all the science fiction fans out there, I have just discovered that a remake of V is coming out soon. What do you think ?

These are my thoughts in no particular order:

YAY!
Hope it's good.
What is that odd taste? Oh yeah, I had Captain Crunch this morning...
I wonder if any of the original stars will have cameo appearances?
I had a crush on the evil leader, Diana
Why am I attracted to 'evil' girls? And brunettes, I'm attracted to brunettes too.
Does this mean brunettes are inherently evil? No, that's crazy thinking. But I don't like blondes... Hmmm.

That is like so totally rad.
There was one guy played by Robert English-I don't remember the name of the character- and at times I thought to myself that I could relate to this alien. Maybe it was because his skin wasn't real? He felt uncomfortable in it? Maybe I don't feel comfortable in my skin?

With this and Battlestar Galactica,I think I might be able to try to be happy. :lol:

That character was Willy - he was a lizard who joined the human resistance.

BTW, about your avatar, is that you with the R22?

I'm not sure what to think. The original show was interesting, but very lame by the end.

ABC has a bad habit of not having any original creative talent. So, I don't have high hopes.

the one with the red outfits, and the bug-eating aliens who looked like blond dance instructors?...;)
well, there seems to be a lack of creativity in Hollywood at the moment...suppose anything will happen...;)

Yup it is. That was taken on Mary's Peak, west of Corvallis, OR Feb 07.

That particular ship got balled up in Bend during a checkride. Here's a link if you'd like to hear the story.

woah thats cool but I doubt it can as good as the original without Marc Singer, Faye Grant, and Jane Badler and Robert Englund....

I have the original series on VHS, would be cool to bring on when the new series is due
