Fight Crime: Shoot Back!  |
Anyone else heard about this show? Apparently its a remake of an old 80's show that only made one season. Has an anti Obama message so I doubt we'll actually get to see it but looks like it could be cool.

You lost me at "remake". Don't get me wrong BSG and the recent Star Trek movie shows it can work, but there have been too much recycled crap coming out Hollywood lately.

Change we can believe in?
 Doesn't look half bad, but I think the 80s version will still be far better. . . No arsenal is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. Ronald Reagan |

V? I remember they had a very swastika-looking symbol for the aliens. Like a squared off S with two dots on the side. I wonder if they'll do an alien-stylized hammer and sickle this time. lol
Hope we get the green babies this time around.  I thought that there was more than one season because the birth of an alien baby was a cliff hanger between the first and second, I could be wrong. I also seem to remember Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) being one of the aliens. [edit] I looked it up. There was an original mini-series and then a TV series that lasted one season. I guess I was kind of right and sort of wrong. Also found a pic of the alien swastika:  "It's a gun. Not a Fabergé Egg." - rockwell |

Me too... and was disappointed when it was cancelled. Maybe this one will be more successful. Billy B. A Sig or two and then some ;-) |

I'm still on my BSG remake high, so I'm hoping they do this one right.
I wonder if they can work Michael Ironside in somehow...  __________________________ "It pays to be a winner." |

There was a 3-episode mini-series, which ended with a cliff-hanger. THEN, there was another 3-episode mini-series later (not sure how long the wait was) that ended the story line, with the 'red dust' killing off or driving off all the lizards. THEN, after another waiting period, there was the really lame-o-matic tv series which just plain sucked. Robert Eglund played 'Willie', a 'good' alien who came over to the side of the human resistance movement. He was really close to a blond waitress or something like that.

Yes, that all sounds very familiar. "It's a gun. Not a Fabergé Egg." - rockwell |

I hear you, most everything is a remake or sequal, not too many new ideas these days.
Obviously missed that one, don't tell me you're complaning about seeing a Morena Baccarin pic however.

Uhmmmmm fresh hamsters!!!!!!!!!!
"V" was alright, but the remake I'd really like to see is "The Invaders"! (Loved how the aliens were infiltrating everywhere.  )I'm not fluent in the language of violence, but I know enough to get around in places where it's spoken. |

Are you serious? Morena could order me around like Salma ordered Quentin in Dusk til Dawn. |

I'm a huge fan of the original miniseries, I like about half of The Final Battle (the second miniseries), and didn't like any of the TV season. I like that they are going back to this, but I'm already put off by the changes they have made. The enormous mother ships were awesome and the new design looks silly to me. It makes me think they'll probably change everything else, from the uniforms to the weapons, both of which were very cool. The weapons in particular were great designs and very modular. I don't just want a show, however good, that is "V" in name only (VINO) a la Bourne series. I'd like to be able to watch it and recognize the show. I wish it well, but if it's good it'll be canceled. That's how TV works these days.

The mini-serieses gave me some of the worst nightmares of my youth. The series was pretty lame. It would be interesting if they did in fact turn the anti-nazi allusions in the original into a straight anti-socialist message, but I doubt that happens.
I don't have audio on my computer, but please tell me that the party of five kid isn't supposed to be Michael Donovan. ____________________________________________________________ "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Adress, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

I loved the mini-series and Final Batttle and to a lesser extent the regular series when it was on TV. I'm a little worried that the original creator, Kenneth Johnson, isn't involved in this project but I'm open to the new direction that this new series will take. I wish that they would use some of the characters from the original instead of starting from scratch.
