Does anyone on Anon Babble remember the cultural impact of the show V
I remember hearing about the cultural impact on one of those VH1 I love the 80's or 70's or whenever this show came out.
I only remember the hot reptilian girlfriend from the remake
Every boy from that era remembers this scene.
Look at those outfits, who need proof
The mini-series had insanely good pacing. They crammed a lot of story into very little space. Most people remember the mini-series having far more episodes than it did. Ironically, the opposite is true for the sequel tv series, which grasped for stories to tell and reused lots of the same footage over and over again.
Nice music that set the tone: youtube.com
If by cultural you mean: did anyone used to draw that alien logo on the back of a Matchbox convoy box truck as a child, then yes, it had an impact. I was also banned from watching after they turned into lizards.
The only scenes I remember were the dude eating a mouse and when they tossed another dude into an energy wall to murder him.
Remember, collaborators get what's coming to them.

I don't remember the energy wall scene but sounds like something that would have been in the show.
You would not believe how many times I have searched this on show on google over the years. Because ctrl-v didn't work.
OP, yes it was impactful as it was a major Sci-Fi miniseries which had not been done at the time on such a large budget and scale.......
Proof that the 80's was awesome and I miss great TV and movie themes!!!FACT!!!
There were a bunch of books published, mostly about other resistance cells. The only one I read was pic related, which was decent.
it wasn't supposed to be a documentary
It was good entertainment but it was sort of meant to be a WWII cautionary tale. The Visitors were clearly stands ins for Nazis.
How amazingly dumb humans are in this.
Aliens with all possible human ethnicities show up and the only thing different are their voices? No scientists demanding an x-ray and a blood sample for the science world? The Vs want humans for food consumption? Aren't humans a little too big to be swallowed in whole? And since they can't chop us up because they require live food, what was the plan here? Harvest our babies?
No I'm not in my 60s. and why would I watch V when actual kino like Alien Nation exists?
all the reptilian conspiracy theories come 100% from this show
all of them
It's funny that YouTube feels the need to put a warning on 'V' videos about that.
Fucking zoomer.
Yeah, the first miniseries is pretty solid.
I only remember the rat scene, however for picrel related reasons I remember more from the 2009 remake
I preferred her mom Morenna whatsherface
If you want to compare apples to apples you should have posted the awful alien nation tv show.
She's hot but also that series was twenty-five years more recent, so that helps with memory too.
What an odd thing to say.
Aliens trying to spread AIDS was kinda boring
I liked the tv show
My problem with the tv series was that it focused too much on 'humans do x but aliens do y'. Yeah, in a way that was central to the movie and show but the x and y were more of less just random shit that wasn't very interesting. The fish out of water story gets rather boring when it is repeated over and over again.
yes. it was a fun show. i remember when freddie was fighting the aliens
I remember the episode where Lydia poisons the boss reptile guy by accident after his wedding, and being so good at covering her tracks about it that the pharmacist who gave her the cat poison got shot out into space with their dead leader's corpse instead of her.
the one vegetarian lizard
i remember the woman in the blue shirt liking an alien and then tongue kissing the alien which lead to her fucking the alien and of course she got pregnant which is what the aliens wanted
They symbol on their uniforms is real subtle
The lizard baby really creeped me out.
I seem to remember the remake didn't use the original music, which was dumb, like BSG.
Maybe "awful" was a bit harsh, but compared to the movie it was certainly inferior.
it was a major Sci-Fi miniseries which had not been done at the time on such a large budget and scale
It came on the back of a mini-series boom following the likes of Roots and North & South.
Alien Nation
Show > movie
There were two, twins.
Mouse Trap has a bigger cultural impact than V.
As far as I remember, they never explained how Elizabeth ended up with a normal tongue.
After the countdown to 'V' ads, NBC tried the same gimmick with another mini-series named 'Celebrity'. Don't think it worked anywhere close as well for it.
