I agree, I was very young when V ....

You are still very young...

I loved the old V and I like certain things about the new V. SciFi shows are limited, so I like to watch them all.

I want a new ST one and would love Babylon 5

I agree, I was very young when V was shown in the UK, but it stayed with me and provided some truly great TV moments (the gerbil, yuck). I hope they don't follow the recent pattern of US TV shows where they try to stretch the storyline out and then have to resolve everything in one episode, or not at all, as the network have suddenly cancelled it.

Exactly like he said.:side:

My partner watches the new V series, but I haven't been able to get behind it. It suffers from (among other things) taking itself too seriously, and the NBC (and now ABC) tendency to over-hype everything and try to turn it into an Event. (Yeah, NBC even named another over-hyped series The Event, in a desperate plea to viewers.)

I'm old enough to remember when the original V miniseries came out. It was groundbreaking for its time, doing what good science fiction is supposed to do: hold up a mirror to our society. V was a heavy-handed Holocaust allegory, full of obviously good good-guys, obviously bad bad-guys, obviously immoral collaborators, and guinea-pig-eating aliens. It was also great fun, and a wonderfully heroic story of ordinary people standing up against tyranny. The final showdown between Julie and Diana (I won't spoil it if you want to Netflix it) still gives me chills.

(Please note these remarks only apply to the original miniseries. The subsequent mini- and regular series weren't as good. But I hear Diana from the original shows is being brought into the new series, so you might want to check out the old stuff before January.)

Sure, it's schmaltzy, and very 1983. But I highly recommend the original miniseries. It was written by Kenneth Johnson, who wrote for The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman (in fact, he wrote the episode of the former that introduced the latter), The Incredible Hulk, and Alien Nation. When he was on top of his game, Johnson was a master storyteller.

He could also turn out some pretty dire dreck, although to be fair many of those were sequels to his original stories and may have involved a) other writers, b) excessive input from the studio, and c) not enough time.

All of this is just my opinion, YMMV. I'm just very opinionated about what I consider Kenneth Johnson's best works. He is one of my heroes.

Guess it is not canceled afterall! New season to premiere on Tues, Jan 4, 2011 :woohoo:

I like Hilary Clintons one

I don't really know what to say. I think that's one of only a few things in my adult life that's made me cry. I know this is an American politician speaking about American problems but it's a problem we share.

Homophobia in schools has a devastating effect and every young life that is lost to suicide is a pain we all have to feel. I know our government seems intent (not the new coalition, every government) to ignore the problem despite a few openly gay Members of Parliament speaking out about it. I hope your government listens and something is done.

It does get better.

Seriously, I want to have his babies.

Now that I'm about to get back in-game, I'm hoping to do some screen captures so that I can put together my own forum signature. However, I've combed this site and can't find where I can download a pic for it. Also, what format and size is a forum signature pic supposed to be?

Thanks

No one has mentioned Starship Troopers! I love that movie, infact... I need to go watch it :)

As I recall, the only thing I liked about that movie was Casper Van Dien's naked butt in the shower scene. Actually, now that I think about it, that's the only thing I remember about that movie. Wasn't Barney Stinson in it, too? As some kind of Nazi psychic?

Would you like to know more? :p

Starship Troopers is an awesome film, one of my personal favourites. First time I watched it I was about 11 years old and I've loved it ever since.

And yes Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) is in it and he's awesome. I only learned recently that he's one of us.
