The original V had some of that 1980's cheese factor BUT at least the characters were more interesting than what I've seen of the new V so far.

I guess because it's a remake they may not feel they need to build suspense, but that was a big part of the first one, how we slowly discovered what the visitors really were and that they weren't nice. In this one, we know it all up front, so it's just a matter of seeing how they deal with it. That could still be entertaining, but it's missing a part that I think made the first one interesting.

Not bad. Interesting to see Kara Thrace's daddy as the FBI boss.

Just read online that "Dollhouse" was officially cancelled by Fox so that's one less sci-fi show to watch on tv now.

Dollhouse cancelled means that Whedon can make Doctor Horrible!

This reboot of V will not be like the reboot of BSG. Using some of BSGs actors won't make it so either....unless they pull a bunny out of the hat in the next 2 episodes...
