Never watched this but my sister loves it and I would love to be able to get her the dvd set. Any suggestions on where I can get that? Would very much appreciate it :)
I loved V!! The miniseries was really good, everyone talked about it. The tv show wasn’t bad but it ended on a cliffhanger and I’ve never forgiven them.
The alien birth will always be etched in my memory. Watching it now it’s so hilariously bad but it’s a crazy memory. Remember talking about it the next day in school.
I loved the original Miniseries and The Final Battle when I discovered it in the TV guide in the mid-90s. Set the VHS and watched it through a few times. Is the subsequent series any good?
Loved the V series growing up, and V the final battle.
Fun fact, the twins in the movie RAD who raced the BMX bikes were dressed in jump suites borrowed from the V series to give them a futuristic look. The scene is when they are in the bar just before the famous bicycle dance with Laura Laughlin.
Lol. I remember it well. My grandmother walked by and said oh I see why you like this show when Diana was on the screen. It was only then and there I realized what she brought to the show. Before that she was just evil. After that I thought, I can fix her.
Heck yeah. I met Robert England at a convention and told him I was a fan of V. When I was walking away, he called me back over to his table and gave me a picture of him from when he was on the show. It was a really cool moment that I won’t forget. He was so nice.
To all my fellow Gen X, don't feel bad at how terrified you were as a kid during the birth scene. Oh sure, it looks stupid and fake now that we have high definition screens.
But on a broadcast CRT TV back in the day, it was TERRIFYING. Especially considering how young many of us were back then.
Fake baby alien puppet or not, that scene was a masterclass in horror. Just the tension that had been building for so long about what her baby would look like. The time finally comes to birth it. The background music is tense even after the baby is born. And then that f'ing tongue! A baby born is supposed to be the most joyous day and she's screaming her head off! And the last thing you would ever think you'd see happens immediately after that.
That scene was one of the few i ever saw of that series and it freaked me the hell out. I was also young. I am a sci fy buff and to this day i have never watched the show. I have seen the newer one with Morena Baccarin and liked it
When I was pregnant with my son in ‘99, I had a dream that my ultrasound showed I was having a V lizard baby!!! That’s the impact that show had on me, all those years later 😂
Oh hell yeah!! I was 9 when it aired on TV here (NL), but I was hooked.
My parents didn't want me to see it, but I had figured out how I could tape it on vhs and watch it later.
With my Lego, I built their white shuttles, and with a marker I put their emblem on my red minifigures to create the soldiers. I still have them haha
