Yeah? So I bought it on DVD. You wanna make something of it?

/not the poster

This was such a great show, it taught me everything I know about distrusting foreigners.

Reimy
I still have a lot of the books, you wanna make something of it?

I remember that series ending on a cliffhanger. Quite a nasty one on top of that. Other than that the first season (miniseries) was quite good.

I still have memories of the female alien eating that gerbil.

V is cool.
VD not so.

Wasn't the guy that played Freddie Krueger in it?
Played a friendly Alien.

Incidentally, David Icke really believes that crap.

Was his name Willie? That's about all I remember of that show, besides the Gerbil eating and those weird eyes.

Yep, Robert Englund played Wille, the mentally challenged alien. Got it on DVD, and not ashamed.

I loved V. they showed it late at night here the first time round, and the last ten minutes was cut off by a power cut at my local TV station. Public outcry was so great that they had to reshedule some other program so they could show the missing ten minutes.



Marc Singer and Michael Ironside - TV miniseries ubercasting.

I have the DVDs.

Now they have to release the television series that cames after.

This is news? I've had the original mini-series on DVD for more than a year now.

This is even better than watching Judge Harry share a turkey leg with Jack Tripper in It.
hilarious

/read the whole article.

was also 4 and scared shiatless in 1983.

Anybody else used to fantasize about evil Diana's cold-blooded hoo-ha?

Didn't think so :(

I was just thinking about this stupid-assed show yesterday. How could they be wearing masks over their huge reptile faces and nobody could figure it out?

I just found the videotape version of this a couple of weeks ago at a thrift store for $3. yay for me.

HA, V was some great stuff

/was it 21 years ago already??? Ahhh, those were the days, cutting lawns for comic book and candy money...

stupid assed? wtf is your name, anyways?

/LOVED the show; bring it back, aging actors and all.
/TV today sucks. Specially "reality" gag TV

The piolet for this show was awsome.

show itself kinda stunk.

But still, you gotta love the invasion of the 80's jacket aliens.

just when i stopped having nightmares...

Oh man, I was obsessed with that when I was a kid. Actually had a few of those nightmares moms warn us about.

It must look cheezy now though.

"I still have memories of the female alien eating that gerbil."

It was even scarier when the alien played by Richard Gere ate gerbils using his arse.

When that alien guy swallowed the rodent whole, it was all we could talk about in Grade 7 for days.

What? V was amazingly good. (especially compared to anything else done in the 80's)

If it had been made today, it would be one of the best movies ever. But due to the fact that the 80's had a corrosive influence on every movie made during them, and the special effects were terrible, it will never have the respect it could have had.

Is there anything Michael Ironside cant do?

here mousey mousey mousey....

ITS THE SCARY GERMAN GUY FROM "MONSTER SQUAD"
anyone ever see monster squad?

This show could do no wrong when I was 11. Unfortunately, watching this as an adult, Jane Badler's (Diana) overacting makes me physically ill, and the horrible puppet-alien-baby looks more like something I would see on PBS children's learning program.

/who cares? Still love this series.

Listen to all these Gen X'ers claiming to be historians of the 80's!

Pathetic.

Used to? I farking still fantasize about her.

Oh man... V rocked. Anyone know where I can find bittorrents for the mini-series?

Outstanding, LOL.

V was fabulous. There's nothing better than Jane Badler eating a small rodent.

Everything I need to know about interstellar diplomacy came from this show:

When someone wants to offer you the fruits of their knowledge - shoot down their flying saucer!!

I saw monster squad!

I actually argued over monster squad, cuz I said the little girl did not count as a virgin, because it had to be a sexually mature virgin.

Detour, don't make me break out my original checkered Vans and my Members Only jacket and beat you with them! V will always be the bomb, no matter how cheesy it looks now; hey, what about the original Star wars for cheesiness sake?

Space (Canadian SciFi station) is running it these days ...
V on Space

One of the actors in V was practicing lines with Dominique Dunne when she was killed. She was supposed to be the girl who had the alien baby.

I'd hit it...

This movie scared the shiat outta me when I was younger. I actually believed it was real.

Listen to all these Gen X'ers claiming to be historians of the 80's!

Pathetic.

Ummm. Why is that pathetic? Doesnt being part of what is usually defined as Generation X mean the 80s were your formative years? Im confused. Im not allowed to comment on the 80s?

anyone remember the War of the Worlds TV series circa. 1989?

It was awesome. To life immortal!

moops
LOL. That's what I was going to post.

V: Another good (mini)series that jumped the shark when a child was introduced.

Incidently, the TV series (19 episodes) that came after the miniseries just recently came out on DVD, and there's a sequel miniseries due later this year.

Monster Squad was great. All we need now is a virgin...

Man I used to have nightmare's about when she had the baby then the 2nd alien baby popped out.

Best Series Ever!

Seriously I went to V The Convention ;)

Not a gerbil but a full grown gunea pig. Ths tremendous lump slid all the way down her neck. AWESOME! One of the best moments in tv history.

My parents wouldn't even let me stay up for the second hour, either on the mini series or the show. Had to catch the details when I got to school the next morning. Damn, I hated curfew!

"Listen to all these Gen X'ers claiming to be historians of the 80's! Pathetic."

You're right. It was, after all, YOUR decade, right? What were you, in high school then? So you're the authority on the 80s, aren't you? None of us who were kids then could grasp those heady days quite like you, right, Mr. Memory-Lane?

Get over yourself.

I remember wishing my face peeled off and whenever someone had red eye in a picture from a polaroid etc I would say they are from V or Teenwolf....
