Does anyone remember the series "V" back in the 80's? It was about a Reptilian race that came to take over the Earth. Well I was told by a friend that they are in the process of making a new series! Does anyone have any more info on this?

V is a science fiction TV franchise created by American producer and director Kenneth Johnson concerning aliens known as "The Visitors" trying to take over Earth.

Plot summary

[edit] Original miniseries
Aliens who appear human arrive on Earth in a fleet of 50 huge saucer-like motherships, which hover over key major cities. They appear to be friendly, seeking the help of humans to obtain chemicals needed to aid their ailing world. In return, the Visitors promise to share their advanced technology with humanity. The governments of Earth accept, and the Visitors gain considerable influence with authorities.

However, strange things are soon noted. Scientists find themselves facing increasing media hostility, and government restrictions on their activities and movements. Others, particularly those keen on examining the Visitors more closely, begin to disappear or face being discredited. Noted scientists confess to subversive activities; some exhibiting other unusual behavior, such as suddenly demonstrating an opposite hand preference to the one they are known to have.

Journalist and TV cameraman Michael Donovan (Singer) sneaks aboard one of the Visitors' motherships and discovers that beneath their human like facade, the aliens are reptilian in nature, and carnivorous - preferring to eat live food, like rodents and birds.

Donovan gets some of this on tape, but just as this exposé is about to air, the broadcast is interrupted by a Visitor announcement, suddenly making Donovan a fugitive, pursued by both the police and the Visitors.

The scientists are persecuted - both to discredit them (as the part of the human population most likely to discover the Visitors' secrets) and to distract the rest of the population with a scapegoat upon whom they could focus their fears. Key human individuals are subjected to a special mind control process called "conversion", which turns them into the Visitors' pawns, leaving only subtle behavioral clues to this manipulation; others are subjects of biological experiments, including human-alien cross breeding. Some other humans, on the other hand (including Mike Donovan's mother), willingly collaborate with the Visitors, seduced by their power.

A resistance movement is formed, determined to expose and oppose the Visitors as much as possible. The Los Angeles cell leader is Dr. Juliet "Julie" Parrish. Donovan is later assimilated into the group and, sneaking again into a mother ship, he learns from a Visitor named Martin that the story about the needed chemicals is merely a diversion. The true purpose of the Visitor's trip to Earth is to conquer and subdue the planet, steal all of the Earth's water and harvest the human race as food, leaving only a few as slaves and soldiers/cannon fodder for the Visitors' wars with other alien races. Donovan also discovers there are dissidents among the Visitors (later known as the Fifth Column) who oppose their leader's plans. Martin promises to aid the Resistance, and gives Donovan access to an alien ship, which he quickly learns how to pilot.

Soon, the members of the Resistance strike their first blows against the Visitors, while procuring laboratory equipment and weapons to carry on the fight.

V: The Second Generation

20 years following the events of the mini-series, Earth is still under Visitor domination, and the Resistance is fighting a losing battle (as Mike Donovan was apparently killed 10 years before the events of the book and Elizabeth was captured by the Leader and taken away). The Resistance desperately tries to persuade the masses that the Visitors are evil aliens bent on mankind's destruction, but are largely ignored, as the many technological and social advancements brought by the Visitors to the planet have convinced the majority that the Visitors have their best interests at heart. Many have even been convinced to join the Visitor's civilian militia, for the purpose of hunting the Resistance.

Just when all seems hopeless, the message sent into space by Julie 20 years ago is finally heard and an army of aliens, who are long-sought enemies of the Visitors, reinforces the Resistance in their time of need and soon the war is turned in their favour. However, all is not as it seems, as the Resistance is wondering whether they have found salvation...or have replaced one alien dictator for another.

The novel will be released on 30th October



In October 2008, V: The Second Generation is scheduled to be released as a sequel to the first two television series.
