Some times a remake of the series is actually an improvement.  Case in point is Battlestar Galactica.  You had to watch it on a weekly basis to begin to understand what the heck was going on (eg who were the good guys and who were the bad ones-once you figured it out, it changed).  Perhaps with V, it will be similiar.  ---and yes, there was a lot of the Young-and-the-Restless, etc stuff in the first version-same dramatic, non reality script.

By-the-way, very cute P8 Alyson morphs, especially the commander or what ever she is.---just hope that she doesn't eat live crawling things--don't really like lizard technology.  Jan
