[net.tv] t"V" ripoff - The never ending battle

OK! we all know that "V" was a total ripoff. It ripped off your time,
my time, the sponsor's time and now the net's time. 

BUT, do we realize where it was ripped off from? As we all know, The first
Star Trek movie was originally a 1 hour episode, NOMAD, stretched into 
2 plus hours. Too bad they forgot to include additional plot.

"V" stretched a black and white half hour series into several nights
over two seasons with the same disregard for the need of additional
plot.

Question: Which episode of what series did "V" come from.

BONUS QUESTION: what was the last line of the original half hour
	        show?


To limit the number of flames let me acknowledge up front that "V" stole
a lot of things from a lot of places. A habit not new to Hollywood.
My question is directed at where the original plot was used on network tv.
