[net.tv] V: Elizabeth's future

nova@abnjh.UUCP (Scott Allen) (10/30/84)

[Say the word and he's a walking pair of aligator shoes!]

The thing about this series is that it's trying to be a cross between the
average action show (everything happens in 48 minutes of braodcast time)
and a night-time "soap" (continueing plots over several weeks).  NBC has
released a lot of information about V to TV Guide and other tabloids.  One
of the things everybody wants "the inside story" on Elizabeth.

*** SPOILER  SPOILER   SPOILER ***

Elizabeth is mutating into a teenager.  The actress that will play the
older Lizard (Uh, I mean 'Lizzie) has appearred in TV Guide (one of the
future plots will be how she and her mother will compete for the same man)
and has had several TV interviews (Entertainment Tonight I think).

Now if this is how NBC is going to run things, I think it will be (one of)
the series' downfalls.  One of the things that makes Science-Fiction great
is the surprises.  Although I can't expect V to have the amount of security
as a major motion picture, I wish NBC would quit broadcating what's going
to happen.
