Default V remake

It was watchable, though not as penetrating for me as it may have been for others.

I've been hearing a lot about this show, actually. I didn't see it myself, though. I have a vague recollection of the original, though I'm sure I didn't watch that either. I'm a little surprised you tuned in. Seems almost hip of you.

I was going to record it but forgot to do so until it was half over. I will probably catch it on Hulu if it is available there.

I did not see the original V. I remember my friends talking about it. We may not have had cable at the time (only had CBS and PBS if you didn't have cable), or I was doing other things. I saw that the original V was on one of the cable channels the other night.

I watched until the original became a series which bogged down. It's being replayed on Syfy. Although I enjoyed it then, I do not wish to review it again, as most of those old scifi shows make one laugh if viewed with 2009 eyes.

It was interesting and I especially enjoyed the pokes at Obama. Again, I was not as enamored with it as others, but it was watchable. The fact that Obama may be a lizard, rat eating alien fascinates me.

Your friends were talking about V? Weren't you around 7-ish years old?
