The campy 80s sci-fi series V returns tonight on ABC. Sci-Fi Channel has been airing the old series in saturation and you can see why sci-fi wasn't taken very seriously for a long time there - when you only spend $12 on your special effects, se
ts and costumes you get shlock. Early word is the reboot is good.Around L.A. some trickster put up these signs on the bus stop ads (funny):

So...what did you think of the premiere last night, radii? Inquiring minds...
It was okay, not much in the way of sci-fi though. Not crazy about the muted new uniforms (kinda liked the orange jumpsuits - very Devo) and why exactly are their ships big cities? And what's with the 80s office windows on the ship for Anna to look out? The makeup is certainly better, the casting okay, reminds me a bit of the whole insurgency subplot of Battlestar Galactica on New Caprica. Unless it gets a whole lot more creepy and gets infused with a lot more action, I'm not sure it will be picked up for more than the 4 eps.
Checked around and V got respectable ratings:
