re-V
Let's face it, I'm looking forward to this way more than it is safe to:





My nine year old self watched the original V mini series with horrified delight, my 12 year old self loved it when it finally played in NZ after we came home, my older teenage self saved forever for the $100 to buy the video box set, and I plunked down money again a few years ago to buy it on DVD. I can't think critically about V at all, I just loved it too much, reptilian looking Marc Singer and all.

I have a V comic somewhere, bought in LA in 1985, I have almost all the tie-in novels (the AC Crispin novelization was pretty good, I loved the New York ones, I am grateful they introduced me to SP Somtow, and some of the rest were appallingly bad) http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?tag=v+series&view=Aquila

I'm delighted to get to see Elizabeth Mitchell play an FBI agent, I don't see how Morena Baccarin, much as I like her, can live up to Jane Badler's scenery chomping Diana, I'm sorry that it looks like the "first they came for the scientists" aspect might not be in the new one (anthropologists as all seeing, hmm), but that that means this probably won't be another heavy handed Nazi Germany allegory could be a good thing.

See, I'm already too invested in what is going to be more bad scifi, aren't I?

In other news, I still have those two dreamwidth codes to give away, but it looks like the market is now glutted.
