When I was a little kid, the original V series terrified me.  That was back in 1983 and I was in Kindergarten but it scared me enough that I still think about it from time to time.  I was a little hesitant to give this show a shot because of my post-traumatic stress but there’s a lack of good sci-fi shows on TV right now so I felt I owed it to myself to check it out – and I’m glad I did.
