"It's a cook book!" still echoes in my ears. What my point is, that we really need to have new story lines. District 9, which I saw last night is a fine example. Uses a lot of the same camera technique used in BSG and is very "in your face". Go see it and please DON'T LAUGH! V was a concept thought up in the seventies where they really still believed that we are actually a species worth talking to as far as ET is concerned. We're not. V as a story line won't work with anyone with a semblence of intellegence as the suggestion is that anyone who is around a million years technically advanced of our pathetic state, would need us for anything, yet alone as "take away" is ludicrous. We're fruit fly to them. I enjoyed BSG because of the inter relations of the characters. The special effects were excellent. The plot was 1970s as is Star Trek 1960s. It's like asking an 18 year old for advice on how to relate to old people. Sure they can show great effects, but hell. No experience! The writers could have done great dialog in another plot and the FX guys would do great in anything they do. As far as water being scarce, the same goes for all sustenance. That was the point.

RDM had great promise, but "Daybreak" soured my opinion of him. V was a pretty good series to begin with, despite its obvious flaws. Ultimately, there were too many loose ends, and the attempted series was a sorry affair altogether. Whether the remake will do any better remains to be seen.

I showed the new trailer to a friend who asked," I wonder if she can unhinge her jaw." - then I hit him. Then I looked up the old scene.

That's why Hiro wasn't in the Scrubs finale, Universal wouldn't let him cameo on another network.

It is likely the production company change?
