This has now spread like a wildfire, with everyone talking about having watched the original. (Well, everyone that was old enough to watch the original.) Quite a few are excited about the remake. If ABC does a good job of promoting this, it'll be a huge. Oh, and we all had to talk about the same damn scenes from the original: the rodent eating and the damn lizard baby. One other person wanted to talk about Robert Englund.

We were total fans. The thing I recall from the lizard baby scene was that the first baby seemed normal - until it's little lizard tongue came out. That was some freaky shit.

I was in elementary school when the first one aired. I remember the little lizard tongue flicking out-that totally freaked me out.

It's what I'll think of when I see Robert Englund rather than Nightmare on Elm St. I remember being quite sad about many of the deaths especially in Final Battle. They did a great job making you care about them.

This is a woman who would sooner blow up the Earth if she couldn't control it. "You need an attitude adjustment my dear. And it will be my pleasure to give it to you."

Back when it first aired I actively rooted against Diana. What can I say-I was young... Nowadays, as a woman in my thirties, I see myself as cheering for her and her "take no shit" attitude. That should be applauded.

Love both the mini-series (even though I was 2 when the first one aired) and was excited when the DVD of the series came out since I had never seen any of it before. I'm so glad that "V" has become relevant again, what with this series and Kenneth Johnson's "Second Generation" book from a few months ago. Incidentally, did anybody actually happen to read "V: The Second Generation"? I haven't seen anybody in here mention it yet. Kenneth Johnson wrote it as a direct follow-up to the original mini-series. I thought it was pretty good, although I didn't care for the fact that he ignores everything that happened in "Final Battle" and the weekly show.

Which explains why it was total crap with the whole little girl and the praytaynama crap. Hopefully this one doesn't suffer the same fate.

He's said many times that he hated the direction that they went in with FB and the weekly series. At first I was disappointed to hear that he wasn't involved in this remake, however I was a big fan of "The 4400" so I have faith in Scott Peters.

In fact, aside from Diana killing John, the entire final episode was crap. There's so many ways they could have gone instead of magic red dust. I also hate how no one mourned the green lizard baby. Just disposed of as a plot device. Very sad. The Star Child sucked. At least if she was extra smart and cracked the decoder that way, I could buy it, but magic powers. No, just no.
