2011 Series Remake

I dunno, the low-budget, diabolical acting and dodgy special effects are surely part of the charm ;)

When darkness overcomes the heart, Lil' Slugger appears...

Well, first we'll need to raise about $40 million dollars to cover costs to make a full season. Then we'll have to get Jared Martin and Richard Chaves back, I can't see the show happening without them. Perhaps make Blackwood a recurring character, one who "passes the torch" onto another team in the wake of an alien attack?

Of course, you'd need to make up stuff about what happened between the first season and today. Perhaps the Advocacy was killed and the other aliens went nuts and started fighting amongst themselves? But then, what happened to the colonist ships that were supposedly on their way to Earth? Maybe Blackwood's team sent them misleading coordinates or something, sending the fleet into the sun. But...how do you explain away Season Two?

I know! During the battle that took place that finished off the Advocacy, perhaps Blackwood is wounded and ends up in a coma. Season Two could have been his coma dream, his worst nightmare of human civilization having been subverted from within by an alien race! After coming out of the coma, he "willingly" puts himself in a mental institution since his mind's still a bit scrambled from the experience. Ironhorse is a General now and close to retirement.

One member of the Advocacy actually turns out to have survived and resumes the war against humanity, leading an assault on a military base to recover a war machine and wiping out all those posted at this base, save one person who witnesses what happens, takes out the machine and ends up trying to set up a new team to combat the Mor-Taxans. He gets Blackwood and Ironhorse back together (Norton and Suzanne, I don't know what their respective actors are doing now) as well as a cast of new characters. The season one arc could involve this new team gradually unlocking the secrets of some of the alien technology, such as a crystal much like the one seen in the episode "The Second Seal". The aliens get in touch with their home-world and a new wave of ships is sent on its way to Earth.

Of course, one can dream. A remake will never happen, there simply isn't enough of a demand for it. The studio executives would probably screw it over after one season anyway.

V wasn't really "re-made," it was molested. I spoke with the original V author, Kenneth Johnson, and even he was super pissed off about the series. He couldn't believe the Sirians (Lizard Race) were now called "Vees." He thought it was completely stupid and missed the point of "V for Victory." I've never seen an old dude so angry than Kenneth Johnson was when I asked him how he felt about all the new changes to his story.

He mentioned that he did do some re-writes of "V: The Final Battle," but I guess the TV execs figured the "Starship Troopers meets Nazi Germany"-influenced version of V was too old-school and so they passed on Kenneth's work.

Damn... Kenneth is getting old. I hope he lives long enough to see his work on the big (or small) screen again.
