A couple of months ago, I was going through some old VHS tapes from about ten or twenty years ago. I found the original V and sequel series on them (recorded from a Sci Fi Channel airing). So yeah, some parts of it are fresh in my mind. I might try to watch it again before this new series starts.
I'm not sure how well the V will do in the ratings. I've heard they plan to show four episodes in the fall, then take it off for several months and air the rest of the season later. That will probably hurt the show and cost viewers. It may work out well though, if those first four episodes are a self contained story.
On the other hand, I'm pretty excited to see how the remake is handled. I hope the big twist the lizard thing is changed a little, so that everyone doesn't see it coming. I think that was part of the charm of the original - everyone didn't know about that in advance.
