This actually looks promising.

Hmmmm, given Network TV's willingness to get a little slinky, I wouldn't mind seeing some bikini-clad hot chicks seduce unwitting humans, then eat then alive (if ya know what I mean...

) Last time around you only had those grody 80's unitard things...)

I for one loved the original, but I hated the series.

I wouldnt mind seeing a remake. I just hope they dont screw it up like Battlestar Galactica.

You mean like how they didn't screw up Galactica... they fixed it...

I'm willing to bet this will flop.

it will, just to be replaced by some trash reality show or another CSI rip off...

The New BSG is the first time Im actually rooting for the cylons to exterminate humans. Little whiny b_t_h_s.

The original cylon centurions were badass. More menacing then stormtroopers. Any why is starbuck a girl?!?!?!

Anyway, I hope they remake this in the same spirit as the original, a humanity fights back theme. I know in the mini series they sent a message to "the ones who have beaten us before". I would like to see that message answered.

Stay away from the red dust.

Starbuck is a girl because the original Starbuck was a little b**ch anyway.

The original mini-series was awesome, I'll be watching it again in preparation of this re-telling of it.

I think it looks cool but I never let myself get into a new series unless it gets established, I'm sick of getting into a show just to have it canceled before it's time.....

I think it looks pretty good. I have a hard time following a weekly TV series since I don't have DVR currently. I'll give it a chance though

Thanks Rob!

Yep sorry Logan, saw your post afterward

Oh I tried!

On topic, I love the original V series but got to admit it's a bit dated now (it did not aged very well) I would love to see a new version of it. Will they score a hit like they did with BG? Time will tell I suppose.

Holy hell does this look awesome for a tv show!!!!

Actually, believe that's the only reason they're doing it in the first place:

Universal needed a quick replacement to keep NewBSG's momentum going after the finale without a break (just in case "Caprica" does a quick AfterMASH)--
So back into the Universal Glen Larsen vault, to find another studio-owned 70's/80's pop network-scifi franchise they can artificially replicate the same NewBSG psychological trauma subplots on, since they think they've discovered the Midas formula for Universal-owned remakes.
(And they've already done "Knight Rider".)

Let us hope they never dig down to "a complex, psychological post-terrorism spin on The Powers of Matthew Starr".

SquidPuppet · 05-20-2009, 04:35 PM

I'll give it a shot.

TheZoof · 05-20-2009, 07:25 PM

Looks good.

I like Morena...

The problem is that they need to make characters as 'cool' as Donovan. The thing that made the original mini series so good was how much you cared.
