Its just a shame that the old cast wont be there but its ok. This show did not get the respect it need years ago.Maybe in todays society it will. Maybe ill start watching tv more.

It's a textbook example of a great idea poorly realized. The quasi-remake with Gary Graham and Eric Pierpoint (which served as the pilot for the series) retains the best material of the original while adding its own concepts and a mostly original plot. The whole series and the T.V. movies are available in 2 separate D.V.D. sets, which I highly recommend. I don't know if I can say the same about the books. I loved them when I read them, but I was fairly young at the time, so I don't know how good they actually were.

Perhaps I should go back and re-watch the movie. I'm excited for this and the new "V" Series (and also Kenneth Johnson's new movie version of "V").

On the one hand I feel sad that such a viable science fiction universe is going to be replaced by a new one, I'm also excited about this reboot. I hope it does it justice.
