It's not too bad in a simple but "complex" kind of way, could have been a lot worse but it's fairly easy to watch.

Second series is out in November apparently so interested to see how they progress the storyline biggrin

P.S I was a fan of the original too, both are equally good in their own way

Another fan of both versions here. Season 1 was a bit slow in places and some of the acting and CGI was appalling, but as said, it speeds up and improves towards the end of the season.
Anna really is a whole other level of horrible hehe
(It also helps that her daughter is amazingly hot and gets her kit off at least once).

At least the CGI is better than the hilariously bad monster models they had back in the original series. Remember when the baby was born? I thought it was terrible back at the time, I'd hate to think how bad it would look if I watched it now.

Hopefully they'll do a whole lizard reveal at some point.

Jane Badler caused me to keep the bedroom door shut quite often when the original was on and helped me to understand what had been happening when I was watching Erin Gray (?) in Buck Rogers a few years before.

In that case you might be interested to know that she's guest starring in the season 2 opener and will have a recurring role (according to an intertube rumourmill).

Stateside, I assume? I'll be heading straight over to the usual places first thing on tuesday morning then .... along with getting my weekly fix of "The Event" (which is shaping up to be quite intriguing).

I'm confused now. V Series 1 was on in the UK earlier this year. Not sure which channel, maybe Syfy?
I quite enjoyed it (especially Anna's daughter in her space uniform!). So is all the hype on Channel1 about Series 1 again?
confused
It throws me when the different channels hype "New series" when it's just new to them...

No it will be Channel 1 (as in the old Virgin) and I "think" it will be the 1st series......

It's already been on mate, SyFy were showing it earlier this year, 'tis Channel 1 that's late in getting it. I heard the second series starts in the US and on SyFy in November (not sure how true that is though).

It clearly started out with a fairly big budget, which was then slashed as the CGI gets noticeably worse after the first few episodes.
Same as the first time round then. I watched all the originals last year. Is it as confusing and hilarious as last time where half the cast are suddenly missing and they keep reusing special effects from the pilot?

I thought it was well worth it. I can't wait to see how it gets on (if you saw the 80s series then it seems to me like they are making similarities with characters etc BUT are also making cool changes).....
