Although having said that, I saw a few scenes where they appeared to run out of money..

The lack of budget is quite apparent on the original TV series - quite a lot of footage from the mini series was re-used, not just stock footage of skyfighter chases but even a couple of actual scenes.

Not bad this week.

I was expecting there to be a twist, with the wimpy Fifth Column guy actually being a Visitor, & the sniper being the real Fifth Column guy.

I still want to know more of the Visitors' reasons for being here... in the original, it didn't take long before we found out

Spoiler:

Anyone else spot the representative from "Weyland-Yutani Corp." at the "World Progress Forum"? ;)

Wouldn't that have better in spoiler tags. ;)

Ah, fair enough. I suppose there may be some people watching this who have no knowledge of the original...

Nope because this thread discusses the shows already transmitted in the US - as per the tag. That tag warns you not to read if you aren't into that timescale. There is a separate thread for the lagging behind UK transmissions on SiFi (or whatever they are misspelling it as these days).

Re: V - 2009 : Season 1

I assumed Flyboy meant the bit about their ultimate plan, which could be a spoiler if this follows the same basic premise... although you're right that there's no need to use tags for anything regarding episodes aired in the US.

we can only assume the plan is similar. As you say though it could go anywhere I kinda hope it does not follow the original. Spose we will see what happens to the live aboard group

Anna's daughter ( her name eludes me) is deffo gonna end up 3rd column and will most likely save the Earth or at least main members of the resistance when they are inevitably captured around the last episode of season 1 lol lol

I think there are a few references to other series or films. For instance, the series references Independance Day in Ep 1, and indirectly mentions the original V immediately afterward.

Great finale. Can't wait for it to return.
