BACK TO THE WAR! "V" SEASON ONE

Visitors and Humans, friends and foes, prepare for a deadly new tomorrow in the re-imagined V. All images: ABC TV/WARNER BROTHERS 

After its prior very successful first transmission run on the UK's SYFY Channel (though boo! for trimming some of the various episodes action scenes down after the watershed!), V's re-imagined first season, based on the series originally created by Kenneth Johnson, returns for a well deserved repeat run on the digital broadcaster, presumably acting as a warm up to their some point soon showings of the ten episode second season (which began airing last month in the US). If you haven't seen the show, check it out, it's well worth a look.

And as for Season Two, having seen the first five episodes, I can tell you that the series gets even better-in fact, giant leaps better. Its faster paced, more dramatic and incident packed. And, of course, it has original eighties series returnee, the charming actress/singer Jane Badler, back, in an equally re-imagined way, as the alien Visitor leader, Diana. We won't spoil how she comes back into the series, but here's a great screen grab below as to what to expect from her!

It's all red in V's second season!

V: THE ORIGINAL SERIES and Season One of the re-imagined V are available on DVD. The latter is also available in stunning Blu-ray.
