Anybody who was any kind of fan of the 80's Sci-Fi Series "V" has their favorite episodes and characters. So, which were yours? Were you a member of the 'Resistance' supposively fighting for the fate of mankind, just to later realize that you were merely fighting to keep some speck of self-sanity in the end? Or did you succumb to Diana's charms, devilish good looks, and sexy monotone voice to find yourselves yearning more and more to become a reptile just for a shot at her?
Discuss...
V (1983 Miniseries):
Oh Yay! Visitors!=)...Sure, most of them are extremely white, they talk funny, and they seem to have extremely delicate skin?..But, I'm sure they're very nice and will give us the tools needed to fix this insignificant planet...
V: The Final Battle (1984):
Ummm!?! Yayy!?!?..Visitors?!?!...You mean they come from a distant galaxy, but there's something weird about them??? NO WAY!?! But surely if Mike Donovon and Michael Ironside say they're evil...then they MUST be!! Even with Diana trying to pass with the guise of a Soccer Mom in this one, she still had those foolish humans eating out of the palm of her hand.
V (TV Series 1984-1985):
What? You mean that WASN'T "The Final Battle?" Honestly, I'm not too familiar with this installment, as I must have just blocked all the traumatizing horrors of the preceeding battles and events out of my brain completely...Damn you and the lasting effects of your mind melting hallucinogenic chamber Diana!
V (TV Series...2009?)
Yeah...this remake was actually OK to me at first. But I suppose my nostalgic mind took over and I started to miss those awesome 80's red jumpsuits too much to keep focused.

As per my usual vein of not worshipping everything 80's over everything today I would have to say that the latest version of V rocks and is one of my favourite sci-fi shows of all time.
So there...

V is my favorite Sci-Fi series ever. It's the reason that I got hooked on Sci-Fi as a kid. I will say that the new V was excellent as a series, I did think that the old series (weekly) was also excellent. The old series didn't hold up because of rating and expenses. On the DVD, you hear them talk about how the laser shots at that point in time were $1000 dollars each to make.
The new Series would have done much better going the way of the original, with a Mini Series to anchor it.
As for Favorite Character, Ham Tyler (Ironside) might be my favorite character ever, he was tough, didn't care, had great jokes, didn't put up with anything, and blew things up. He's gotta be in my top three.

Might have to agree with you there Devo..Ironside was just plain Badd-*** in this...Hard to think of anyone to top him.

The original V series in the 80's was one of the best Sci-fi miniseries ever made! That includes both movies and the weekly series. I own all on dvd and watch them at least once every year (which reminds me - time to watch again!) This show is probably what got me so interested in UFOlogy and astronomy back when I was a kid. I tried to watch the new one when it first aired, but couldn't get into it. I guess I wanted it to be too much like the original which it didn't come close to for me.

I had a couple issues of the comic book too. I remember they were given to me with a bunch of old junk my parents got from some rumage sales somewhere. Sadly, I do not still have them. They were lost along with my collection of old Tales from the Crypt/Vault of Horror comic books a long time ago...*sigh. Fate can be so cruel sometimes.
