V: The Second Generation

[Ragna "D" BloodEdge]

From Amazon.com
Millions thrilled to Kenneth Johnson's hugely popular mini-series "V," an action filled drama of alien invasion, a TV event that was also a number one bestselling novel. Now, in a new novel based on the sequel miniseries currently being developed for TV, the tension between The Visitors and Earth's human inhabitants has reached a boiling point.The reptilian Visitors, who cleverly portray themselves as Earth's protectors, are anything but. Our oceans are being drained in order to fuel the aliens' motherships, and our scientists are treated like wanted criminals. And they have pods of preserved humans destined for even more sinister purposes.But hope is not lost. A small, yet resourceful Resistance risks everything to undermine the Visitors' stranglehold on Earth's people. Despite their heroic efforts, without more help they will be crushed by the Visitors and their human militia. Just when Earth's doom seems inevitable, agents of an alien civilization from another planet arrive in answer to humanity's desperate call for help. But can these other aliens be trusted? Or might we defeat one alien overlord, only to be delivered into the hands of another, equally as oppressive? Time is running out for the Resistance, for when the Visitors' Leader arrives, the aliens will complete their mission on Earth, with devastating consequences for all life on the planet.

There's a TV adaptation planned, too. Apparently the V TV series that aired after the miniseries ended isn't being considered canon. Hopefully, we'll get some of the original actors for this.

Yeah, I remember hearing about a new miniseries or TV movie that was supposed to coinside with the 20th anniversary.

Really? I wonder why not?

No idea, but I'm kinda glad it isn't since in the unaired series finale, Julie was vaporized by Diana.

But since it's picking up about 20 years after V: The Final Battle, it makes me wonder how many of the original characters might be in there. They absoultely HAVE to have Diana. It just wouldn't be the same without her.

 

[MagiRed]

Diana, John, Julia and Donovan. Those, to me, at least, are the four principle characters of the series that need to come back, even if no one else does. If for nothing else, then at least a cameo. A sort of passing of the torch, a la Christopher Lambert in the first episode of Highlander.

Elizabeth should be a central character, too, since there was so much focus on her.

 

[MagiRed]

Elizabeth was the little girl, right? I don't remember. It's been a while since I've watched it last.

Yeah, Robin Maxwell's and the Visitor, Brian's daughter.
