    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The series was intended as a literal retelling of the Nazi takeover of various countries, and the resistance movement against them. However, because of the popularity of the "Star Wars" saga and other science fiction hits, as well as the belief among network executives that U.S. citizens would not believe a fascist takeover, the network executives had the producers change it to a science fiction miniseries. Other ideas were also discussed, but discarded.
    • Goofs
      In the shuttle right after Mike escapes with Robin from the mothership, Mike loops the shuttle, and there is shot of them upside-down. Robin raises her arms, apparently to keep from falling out of her seat, but the entire time her hair rests on her shoulders as if right-side up.
    • Quotes

      Ruby Engels: Abraham, don't get so wound up. Nothing's going to happen. Not to you or your family. They're not doctors or biologists or even scientists. You're not involved. Anyway, it's going to pass.

      Abraham Bernstein: That's what I said in 1938... back in Berlin.

      Ruby Engels: But this is different.

      Abraham Bernstein: [glances at his grandson wearing a Visitor Friends uniform] Is it?

    V for Victory!
    Now this is real sci-fi! Kenneth Johnsons story is (in my opinion) one of the best ever written. While I rank The Tripods as my favourite sci-fi adventure, this will come as a good second.

    I wasn't very old when I saw V for the first time, but I can honestly say it blew me away! And even now almost 20 years later I can still watch it and be in awe like I was way back then.

    And now I am just waiting for the return of V, which finally seems to be becoming reality. Hopefully it will stick to the basics and not go "overboard" like so many re-makes have done over the years. But with Kenny at the helm I doubt that will be a problem, since I happen to know that the legacy of V means a lot to him.
