ABC’s new show “V” made it’s debut last night at 8pm. I was surprised that it wasn’t an exact remake of the original miniseries. For example the characters were all different. In the original the leader is Dianna in this one it’s Anna. I expected them to keep the same characters considering it’s a remake and not a spinoff. The premise was the same, but obviously the speed of the story line was revealed much quicker in this new series. Originally the miniseries was more like a movie and took time to reveal the plot. In this episode we met the aliens and were made aware of their reasons to be on Earth immediately. No messing around! They want to get onto the Alien versus Humans war.
First it is thought that the aliens have come in peace. Everyone is excited for their presence and are sure that this will be good for our world. However, Erica Evans, an FBI agent thinks differently. She starts investigating and meets underground with some rebels who inform her of the aliens real reason for being here. They show her a passport photo of a terrorist she remembers. Only she is now informed that not only is he a terrorist, but he is also a V (alien).
With their secret revealed the V’s claim that they have been visitors here for years and living amongst us. They have been responsible for unnecessary wars and conflict. These wars and conflicts were caused to try and weaken the humans so that they could take us over easier. The V’s inform us that we are now weak enough for them and they’re ready to take us on!
I liked the show, but just expected it to be more like the original. The special effects were obviously a thousand times better and so was the action. I’m just a little partial to the originally because it reminds me of when I was a kid! I will definitely continue to watch and see what the aliens do to us! I’m still bummed we only get four episodes though and then they’re taking a break until March. What did you think of “V”?
