2010 Midseason TV Premiere: V

One of ABC’s new drama series premiering during the 2010 midseason is V. A timeslot and premiere date has yet to be set by the network for the series. Below is the series description as posted by ABC:

V - V is a re-imagining of the 1980's miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent.

PRODUCTION COMPANIES: HDFilms, Warner Bros. Television

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Scott Peters, Steve Pearlman, Jace Hall, Yves Simoneau

DIRECTOR: Yves Simoneau

CAST: Elizabeth Mitchel, Morris Chestnut, Joel Gretsch, Lourdes Benedicto, Logan Huffman, Laura Vandervoort, Morena Baccarin, and Scott Wolf

With ABC’s upfront coverage we now know if Juliet survived the megaton blast in the Lost season finale. She’s now standing in NYC staring up at a large projection of the gorgeous Morena Baccarin. Definitely not a bad place to be. Of course, this happens to be in the new drama series V. And I have to say that while I was mildly curious to see this re-imagining of the 80’s miniseries, I am now completely on board. First of all you have Morena Baccarin looking down on you talking about how amazing your encounter will be with her, and what great benefits will come of such a meeting. Looking into her eyes I can believe it. I’m certainly happy with her giant face leaning over me and telling me sweet nothings about how awesome life will be now that she’s around. Now the eventual alien invaders will have the best plan of action for enslaving the human race, and no convenient Mac virus will be able to stop them.
