My only reaction regarding the remake of "V" is: why? I mean, yeah, the 1984 miniseries has effects that, compared to today's standards, are pretty cheesy (how many times did they reuse those shots of the fighter and the tanker/transport, particularly during "The Final Battle" and the series?), but the story still holds up well to this day. Unless they plan on doing something additional with the Visitors' motives other than "steal the water and harvest humans for food," I don't see where they could do anything fresh with the concept.

Perhaps it'll surprise us, like BSGv2 did, and I'll give it a fair shake, but as things currently look, I'm of the opinion that it's going to wind up being a remake-for-the-sake-of-cashing-in-on-a-familiar-name flop.
