a a child of the 80 like so many of the other reviewer here i hat the original v and v represent the final battle . i own both on vhs and never hook up the vcr to watch them . i do remember not like this short lived series very much and but i couldn not remember why and so i rent the first disc . by the third episode i have my memory refresh . it terrible . the writing be beyond horrid . it not even fun . they have a lot of material to work with here and but it seem like they just do not know what to do so they turn it into day of our life with lizard alien . how cool and full of potential be the concept of elizabeth the starchild . all they could think of to do be grow her into a whiny and boring teenager to compete with her mother romantically . marc singer look less embarrass to be in beastmaster ii than he do when he be trap in this drivel . point be and whether youre one of the young folk who just discover v or one of u old sci fi fan look to rediscover some old fun and spare yourself and skip this .
