I just feel like they tried to rape my junior high school memories.

Not sure if I agree with your reasons for disliking the new “V” but I DO agree that it is nowhere near as good as the original.
I’m still intrigued as to where the producers are gonna take the new show but I felt this version wasn’t “epic” enough and things seemed to happen way too quickly with no build up or tension.
Also, there haven’t ben any scenes of aliens eating rats whole!!! Grrrrr!

I thought that replacement of Robin was a big deal breaker for me because I really liked that character in the original. Yes, all teen boys are annoying, and that is why the change of character didn’t work for me at all. Personally, I don’t trust pretty people more than others, but then again I don’t trust the government or any other ‘authority’ figure so maybe I’m an odd duck. That’s why that part of it didn’t work for me.

ah, i miss the cold war. so much good music, movies, and tv came from our collective worry about the ever present Russkie threat. i watched V when it was on. i always prayed that they would show more aliens nomming on guinea pigs. i got a freakish thrill from it.
that said, and with great affection for the original, i gotta say that i liked the new one. of course, i’ve only seen one episode so it might end up sucking balls, but so far i like it. it makes sense that they would be pretty because we, as a society, do trust pretty people more than -”other than pretty” people. it’s just a disgusting fact of life. and as for the teenage boys being annoying, aren’t they all?
i am with you on Scott Wolfe, could be worse though. i was prepared to be disappointed in Morena Baccarin’s performance, as much as i love her as Inara in Firefly and Serenity, she isn’t my favorite actor outside of that character. she really surprised me. she brought something creepy to the role. i think she nailed it.
just my $0.02.
