Wow, V. I remember just loving watching that. I can't remember much of it anymore.
I adored Alien Nation. I think I still would. Do I remember right that the series ended on a cliff hanger?
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have the first V miniseries in VHS. It is delightfully OTT! I mean, it is all about the wicked obvious World War II parallels, and the scrappy news-hound, and the ragtag band of refugees banding together to kick lizard butt!!
The second miniseries is much less fun -- more with the blowing up, and much less with the vaguely silly archetypes. Still with the lizards, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have the BSG S1 boxed set (including miniseries). There's commentary on a lot of eps. This will make hiatus far less painful, I think.

What I remember about V was the OTT WWII stuff, Marc Singer, and the Star Baby. Oy.

All is well that ends in pizza.
AlienNation, the series was very very good and fun.

Oh, V. "Pretanama" and "Julieeeeee" and for years afterwards I'd say "Clever, those Japanese," and "Mousieeeeee" and the terrible pre-morphing attempt to show the Eeeeevil Diana swallowing a hamster. And their brilliant cover story was that they'd come billions of miles to earth because they needed... water. Nobody ever asked, "Didn't you pass Pluto on the way here?"
The main thing I remember about the TV series was that the Vistors's back-stabbing shenanigans were mildly more interesting than whatever the humans were up to. It was like Dynasty in space!

Ha! I remember that now that you mention it.
Was the guy who played Freddy Kruger in the Nightmare movies in V? And as a good-ish alien, maybe?
Well. Now I want to watch both of them again.
Oh! BSG DVDs - yay. I have to order those.

I have the disturbing idea that his name might have been "Willie."
One IMDb search later... yes indeed. This is why I can't remember my work phone #. Brain's already full of useless crap.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
We're supposed to remember our work numbers? I thought that is what the little cards were for. It's how I use them. I'm leaving a message, grab one and rattle off the number once I look.
