I just read in my morning newspaper that NBC will be showing "V Part II:
The Final Act" on May 6th through the 8th. The article was on how, when
the networks final show something worth watching, another network shows
something that is equally interesting at the same time (the other show
is "The Last Days of Pompei" on ABC).

P.S. Has anyone notice that when you sound out miniseries you get

The first January episode of "V" seemed somewhat better. Only mediocre rather than loathsome. If *I* were the new lizard commander, I'd start out by purging half my troops, brainwashing them, and sending them off to help the rebels. That should assure victory in a couple of weeks. Speaking of the new lizard commander, do you think Regehr (previously seen in black leather brigantine with steel studs as Dirk Blackpool in "Wizards & Warriors" and black leather gladiator armor with steel stud as Lydon in "The Last Days of Pompeii" has a clause in his contract specifying that he be type-clothed rather than type-cast? He looked quite nice in his offbeat garb of black pants, black shirt open to the waste, and a silver belt. --Lee Gold

From: Mark F. Rand <TIGQC356%CUNYVM.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA> Does anyone who still watches V notice that in the few scenes when a Visitor's mask is removed, the lizard head revealed seems larger than the way it looked when masked..?? It seems that there should be a way to make the lizard head look smaller. And another thing... Where are all the other mother ships???? In the beginning sequence it's mentioned that there are 15 ships.. Well one was destroyed in the 2nd(??) episode, but that still leaves 14.. It seems that that should give the visitors enough fire power to take over.. Even with the "Red Dust"(though why the Visitors havenn''t come up with an antidote seems a mystery)they could still fly around in their ships(which are air- tight for space-flight)shooting up cities.. It seems to me that V is a SF soap opera.. See ya Mark Rand

I wonder if David likes the series? I, personally, am getting a little (if not
a lot) nauseated with the prospect of watching one hour of the madcap cavortings
of a group of starving LIZARDS.

From: Marshall.wbst@XEROX.ARPA When my daughter (age = 11 years) heard of all the bad things said about the TV show V on this distribution list she made me promise to reply. She loves the show and the various characters in it. She likes the female lizards insulting each other and the Earth child with paranormal powers. So maybe the TV producers know something about their typical audience. --Sidney Marshall

From: Mark F. Rand <TIGQC356%CUNYVM.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA> Did anyone else out there watch the last episode of V??? It looks like the people at "V" might be planning to try V (similar story different name).. They ended the show on a BIG cliff hanger.. Elizebeth is going somewhere with the leader(to his apartment??) and Diana has planted a bomb on the leader's craft(how!!?? He was never shown leaving the ship and looked like only one entry hatch!), and Elizebeth's boy- friend has also apparently (somehow!!!???!!!) stowed away on the Leader's ship... There is now the chance of peace(possibly cooexistence??)... Now here is the BIG question.... What will the title of the next V be?? "After the Final Invasion"??? Do Donovon and Diana get married and have little Starchildren that leave their toys "floating" around the house?? And what does the Leader look like??? Is he an etheral being or does he just carry around a strong green flashlight??? See ya Mark Rand P.S. Why aren't there more Sci-Fi shows on T.V. like Dr. Who??!!!
