But will they rip their faces off while they’re here?

Potentially this could be the next Battlestar if they treat the story with enviromental issues, like Battlestar did with religion. But then again, like Knight Rider, Sarah Connor and the Bionic Woman maybe this should stay buried.

Fun trivia from the original show (IMDB source)

In a massive media campaign before the series aired, posters with the line “The Visitors Are Our Friends” appeared in subways around the United States–just as they did in the first part of the mini-series. Days before the first episode aired, each poster was spray-painted with a bright red “V” exactly as was done in the show.

The music that plays when the ship is first seen has as a major motif consisting of three short notes followed by one long note. This is the letter V in Morse code. It is also patterned after Ludwig van Beethoven’s fifth symphony

Due to the high cost of the laser special effects, it was decided that human resistance fighters would use regular rifles and pistols. This was explained away in the script as due to high security on the alien armories.

    V was my most fav show ever. It was so camp and so funny. I used to love the little Lydia/Diana spats. It was like dynasty for reptiles 🙂

    That scene when (Diana?) ate the rat and that other guy’s face was ripped off, finally revealing the Visitor’s secret was one of the greatest moments in 80s television.

    Next to Dudley and Arnold getting molested by Mr. Carlson from WKRP, of course.
