I saw V (the *Original*) this weekend. What I want to know is, are they
going to start the series at the end of this show (with Robin pregnant,
Donovan's kid on the mother ship, etc) or are they going to show V (the
Final Chapter, or whatever it was called) and start the series from
there?

First of all, there has already been a second movie. It ends with
Diana zooming away into space. Robin's surviving daughter (there
were twins, but I won't go into that. Send me mail if you want to
know more) looks like a human, but has a lizard tongue.
Here's what I read from the San Francisco Examiner. Robin's daughter
will come back about the same age as Robin. This will be explained as
being due to some kind of sped-up metabolism. They will both be
romantically involved with the same guy. There also was in a recent
issue of TV guide a small blurb showing two new characters. They
didn't say who they would play, but they look about the right age to
be Robin's daughter and their new boyfriend.
I thought this might be a good series, but this really sounds hokey.
I liked the two movies, although I thought the second one could have
been alot better. Isn't that always the way with sequels that are
made mainly because the first movie made alot of bucks?

*** YOUR MESSAGE *** I missed both "V" mini-series as well as the first episode, due to a lot of things. I`ve recently bought the book, but haven't had a chance to crack it yet. My questions? 1) Is this of sufficient interest and quality that it is worth trying to catch up on? (note: tv sci-fi quality scale - "Star Trek" = 10, "Lost in Space" = 1) 2) If the previous answer is yes, is there a better way to catch up then the book, such as video tapes, repeats, etc.? 3) Is is necessary to fill in the background or can I jump right in cold? -- Mark A. ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!adolph "Computers are like preppies: they just boil around in their own way and you have to do things their way or they blow you off."

Having just seen the final episode for the season for V I was wondering if the show has been canceled. I always assumed that it would be but it looks like they left themselves open for more episodes just in case. Over the last few weeks it looks like they have known the end was near and planned accordingly. Could someone who keeps track of such things let me know what the story is. -edh

Actually, it sure looks like they knew they weren't going to make it through the first season, and thus either killed off a few main characters or wrote them out of the script early(e.g. Elizabeth's grandfather, Ham, etc.)
