"V" ABC Re-Boot - (spoilers)

[Darth Gaos]

I am getting very excited for this.  I loved (and have on DVD) the original mini-series and am anxious to see this one get going.  Wierd to see Inara with uber short hair though.

Sci Fi Picks Up Rights To Air V In The United Kingdom

Some good news at last... The Guardian reports that the Sci Fi Channel has picked up the U.K. broadcast rights for V.

This deal is said to be for "18 one-hour shows" and deals have also been made for Sci Fi to air Human Target and Smallville. Sci Fi's parent company NBC Universal has also arranged for new series Eastwick to air on their Hallmark Channel overseas.

No announcement has been made as of yet for when V will start to appear. Sci Fi did, however, release a new trailer for V, which can be seen below.

I've just found out that Sci-Fi channel can't be watched in my back room. It's only on Sky and Cable. Not on normal digital.....whats that all about then!?

Thats now Warehouse 13 and V that I've got to upset Mrs Studfarm over by shifting her away from the main TV! :) Poor her....

What a coincidence - been watching the original series on Netflix.  Will be fun to compare the original special effects and characters to the new (which will most likely be better, but without Michael Ironsides?).....

I don't like this idea.. but they are going to air only 4 episodes in November and then put the show on hiatus until March.  This has bad written all over it. I just hope it does really well in the first four episodes so folks will return in March to continue with it.

What would possess them to do such a stupid thing

I have read that the studio or somebody in power isn't happy with the direction of the series.  So they are doing some "reworking" of the show.  For a Sci-Fi show in primetime to air a new show for only a month and then bringing it back months later is like practically already canceling it.

Maybe they'll bring Defying Gravity back ... I'm so tired of scrounging for the latest episode and that show is good tv. Not just good sci-fi, but really good tv.

Hmmm I don't think that's funny.. that will ruin the huge surprise if you have never heard of the previous V.

Not sure it can be really a spoiler for a TV show from that long ago.  I mean if someone said Vader is Luke's father now, is that still really a spoiler for something that has been around for so long?  Plus, are we certain they are lizards in this new version too?
