No way. V was very early 80's. Alien Nation came after the movie with James Caan and that was 88.

Alright, thanks for that. I'm too lazy to look it up.

Pacino86845 wrote:It was ok, the show was promoted enough so that a lot of what we watched was pretty expected. I'm happy with this first episode, it's not too flashy but interesting enough to keep following the mini-series at least, that's for sure. Despite a few wrinkles here and there in the script and some of the acting, it was pretty well done.

Show was alright, like the rest of you I didn't think it was fantastic but I didn't think it was horrible either.
Some parts were well done, the arrival of the V ships (earthquake like effects, the ship over the skyscrapers)then some parts were too much (the priest stopping the crucifix from hitting the wheelchair dude) - a bit too Omenesque for me. Actually most of the church stuff was annoying. I'd rather see Father Jack in a vigilante role then a holier than thou role discussing the existence of God in a world with ETs. zzzzzzz But the V people are cool, sexy, and wear neat jackets. I thought the Firefly dude and the Lost chick were great in this. The teenage son is kinda cute too - I just hope that his relationship with that V chick will be a little less corny.
The show has great potential, I was engaged for the entire hour, so I'm sticking around for more!

The similarities are definitely too uncanny for it to be a coincidence. If I had to guess they were using a picture for reference while they were designing... whatever that thing is. I think "thieves" is a little strong though, I mean incorporating real buildings and/or design styles into fictional architecture is a pretty common practice.

awesome!
i sense a new internet meme starting. how long til someone uses the same scene with the dramatic chipmunk, or something.
TheBaxter wrote:so, in other words, this isn't a very smart show, or very well-produced. and yet, i'll keep watching, because it's still a cool premise, i like the way they've updated the idea by having sleeper cells of visitors who were planted on the planet ahead of time. i like the good guy visitor, and the priest guy from 4400, and juliet. i hate juliet's son, but i hated the traitor kid from the original V too, so that's a wash. i hate scott wolf, but since he'll be playing a weaselly bad guy, i guess that's ok. anna v is kinda hot and kinda weird-looking... she simultaneously makes me horny and creeps me out. she looks like an alien already. peter gallagher v is also creepy. maybe that's why people were protesting them, because they have such creepy leaders. like they're not even trying to hide their creepiness. i think i'm gonna start a drinking game with this show, every time there's a shot of anna v staring out a window or at somebody with that half-cocked mona lisa smile, you take a drink. that will make the show more entertaining.
