They've remade V.......for reasons passing understanding

Hey, look, I'm as big a fan of cheesy 80s sci-fi as the next guy (bigger, probably) but is there really any reason to revisit V? When it originally came out as a miniseries, it was a well done little allegory about political resistance, occupation and whatnot. It also had lizard people. And Marc Singer.

Then
came the second minseries, which was more standard laser blasting cheesy sci-fi. Finally, we had the short-lived TV show, which was simply cheese.

N
ow we've got the new show, which seems to in no way take a fresh slant. Well, here's hoping I'll get to see Morena Baccarin eat a gerbil or something.
