I am a big fan of V The Mini Series and V-The Final Battle. I was a pre-teen when the movies came out and was blown away by the plot as well as the cast. I knew that after V- The Final Battle a series was soon to follow, a movies about lizard people invading earth with sinister plans for us. The movies were too good not to have a series follow up, plus the ending to V-The final Battle left viewers with a well what happens next. I purchased V The Series through Amazon and finished watching the complete series last night. I don't remember many of the episodes from growing up because of my involvement with basketball in Junior High and missed most of them do to games and practice. The first 12 episodes I have to say were good, due largely to the cast. I especially liked Lane Smith as Nathan Bates, he played both sides of the fence; but knew what could happen if Diana wanted him out of the way. I knew once Bates was killed off, the series was in Jeporady. In episode 13 when Bates was killed off, the series didn't make a lot of sense. If you remember in episode 2 I believe Bates told Diana, he wears a pulse-oximeter in case she tried to eliminate him.If his pulse would stop she and her race would perish because the red dust would be released. In episode 12 Mr. Chang shot him at point blank when Kyle was trying to help his father leave Science Frontiers. The series just didn't make that much sense after Bates was killed off; plus most of the cast left. I do give them credit for trying especially bringing back Frank Ashmore as Philip, Martin's Twin. The series had too many different writer's; and that probably caused it's demise. I hope this review was helpful to you, the series is still worth to buy especially at Amazon, I only paid 4 dollars and for those who enjoyed the movies the series was not the best; but some of the episodes were actually good especially the first 12.
