V is for Very Good Pilot Episode
The latest thing from my childhood to get the remake/reboot treatment and make me feel my age is V…
Alion ships turn up, smiley happy alions say hello can we have some water and a cup of sugar and we’ll give you some nice alion stuff in exchange, look we are nice and we have uniforms for people who want to join our fan club but wait oh no they might be bad alions after all…
As usual Great Britain is London which is Big Ben. Meh.
It’s pretty much a rehash of the original series but with modern twists and changes. Old geeks will recognise a lot of it but the mix has been updated to include a pinch of Battlestar Galactica (new version of course), some clunky Obama campaign references, a smidgen of David Icke paranoia and a nice load of non-annoying characters unlike the recent yawnfest that was Flash Forward. No spoilers here as some surprises are to be had in the first episode. I say give it a go. It’s a great pilot. And yes I know how to spell alien really.
