So, they remade V.


Yes, as in V – The Original TV Miniseries*.   Both Ace of Spades and Allahpundit are busily cleaning their tasty, tasty beverage of choice off of their monitors right now: watch the trailer and you’ll see why.

Normally, I’d guess that this would be completely accidental – but what the heck, ABC hired Jake Tapper, so maybe there’s one of Sy Hersh’s stay-behind VRWC Resistance cells buried deep inside Programming. All I know is, this show will either never make it past episode 3, or be still playing four years from now as sort of like a reverse West Wing.  Either way, I figure that some people are getting ready to go insane on the topic any moment now.

I remember as a kid watching the original

and that first major twist (the lizard tongue thing) about had me jumping off the sofa. I’m sure it looks cheesy now, but I thought it was great at the time.

 

Heh..V.....can't wait...lol....nt

Aaron, could you please email me at the addy

that RedState has for me? My ‘puter completely crashed this past Monday morning and I lost everything. Had a new one built, but it’s taking me a while to load in everything I need to do what I used to do as recently as this past Sunday morning. This is my first day back online. One more day of not being able to read the news and commentary online and it was going to get pretty ugly!!

Thanks.

I had to change my gmail user name, so I won't get it, I don't think.

Gmail wouldn’t accept me trying to use the same user name again. Please ask EPU to give it to you, or he can email me himself with the one that RS has, or becker has my email address as well, now that I think about it.

It’s just brutal to have lost 6 years of stuff with no hope of recovering any of it! The only blessing is that I will just get older and more forgetful and won’t miss it anyway. :-)

What happened to your gmail account...

Aaron Gardner (Diary) Wednesday, May 20th at 11:47PM EST (link)

even though your computer crashed you should still be able to access your gmail account now that you have a new computer…you should just be able to go to gmail and enter you user name and password…anyhow I think EPU is offline for the night but if you want you can email me aaronbg.gardner@gmail.com

Tried to send you an email explaining, Aaron, but

janis (Diary) Thursday, May 21st at 12:24AM EST (link)

I haven’t yet set up my Outlook Express account yet and my ISP picked last week to change how they dealt with email, so I’m going to be dealing with all of this tomorrow morning. Will try to do as you recommended with gmail and will see how it works.

Not to be a total curmudgeon, but not much else today has worked as it was advertised. Gee, just like the Won’s administration!

At least you got RS Janis...

silver lining and all….;^)…if you are still having issues tomorrow I will be here and always happy to help.

Now I have to go to bed since my daughter will be waking me up in about 5 hours.

V, isn't that where Freddy (Robert Englund) got his start?

DONTREADONME (Diary) Wednesday, May 20th at 11:54PM EST (link)

I almost forgot about that show, I was young when that show aired on TV. I actually digged the whole show. If I am right I about Robert Englund I must be quite the geek or I have a real good memory of when I was 9 years old.

I think you are correct Dontreadonme....

Aaron Gardner (Diary) Wednesday, May 20th at 11:57PM EST (link)

I vaguely remember Englund in that show…not sure if it was pre or post Nightmare on Elm Street though…..good memory!!

I just looked it up...

DONTREADONME (Diary) Thursday, May 21st at 12:05AM EST (link)

The first nightmare on Elm street was released in 1984 and V was on in 1985 with Englund. I vaguely remember he was one of the aliens who sympathized with the human race. So I was only partially right, at 9 years old Nightmare on Elm street was not a movie my parents allowed me to see, so I wasn’t sure.

Whoops, correction 1983 was the original miniseries release and that is where I saw him first so I was actually 7 when I saw it. So, I guess he was on V before Nightmare. Oh, and I was wrong about Robert Englund and his career seems to be pretty packed before V but I think he became a household name with the Freddy franchise.

 
 
 

Wow, ABC is going to field V?

DONTREADONME (Diary) Thursday, May 21st at 12:12AM EST (link)

that promo seems to be familiar, hmmm, let me think, Hope and Change? Blind Devotion? Hmmm, I wonder how this got through the ABC bigwigs?

 

Yes V Can -nt

Unfortunately, ABC Is Holding "V" Back Until Mid-Season

Like “Lost” and “24″ and “Chuck”, we won’t be setting our eyes on the new “V” until January ’10, at the earliest… :(
