because once it comes back in January its going to be on till its finale in May concurrently...no repeats or anything....

at least that's the plan
 
So it's like last season without the olympics or Season 3 of LOST.
 
Even though she played lizard leader Diana to wicked perfection on NBC's original V from 1983-85, Jane Badler tells me she had to fight fang and nail to get cast as an all-new version of Diana on ABC's reboot. "From the moment I heard V was coming back, it was something I was hoping to be part of, but they tested a lot of people for this role," confides Jane from the Vancouver set. "A lot of years have passed, so it feels good to win something." While this is an entirely different take on Diana — reimagined as the wicked mother of Anna (Morena Baccarin) — Jane admits it's been challenging not to slither right back into her wonderfully over-the-top '80s performance. "I'm still the way I've always been — lots of hair and eyes. A bit Raquel Welch-ish."

When V returns in November, we'll see Diana imprisoned on the mother ship in a cell designed to look like the reptilian visitors' home planet. (Don't ask Badler to describe the details, as they'll all be added via special effects.) Who sent her there? None other than daughter Anna! "I'm the queen in exile, locked away in a dungeon for 15 years," says Jane. "It's mother abuse!"

I can't believe she had to fight to get cast. Wow ABC = morons

I felt the same way about Frank Welker not getting the voice role of Megatron in the Bay Transformers films, yet he had NO problem getting the job for the 2 video games :(.
 
I seen then filming a scene where everyone was on the ground laying down. It was really weird.

That was also ********
 
You already said that.... :huh:
 
Hope this show really shapes up, the last few episodes of last season were lacking.

They should drop the teen angst angle, although I hear that is what they are going to play up. Hope they make it more interesting than they have to date or this will be gone soon.

Really? See, I thought the last few episodes were ramping things up in a great way. "Red Sky" (the season finale) had my jaw on the floor. Especially with Anna's bloodcurdling scream--that s*** sent chills down my spine and raised the hairs on my neck.

I have a feeling though that the arrival of Diana is going to flip this entire show upside down on its ass--and in a good way. Jane is such a captivating actress.
 
We better get an Anna/Erica catfight this season. :o:up:
 
Oded Fehr, best known for his badass roles in the Mummy and Resident Evil franchises, has moved on from battling evil mummies and evil zombies to try his hand at tackling evil lizard aliens in the upcoming second season of V.

The actor has been cast as another leader of the Fifth Column who may clash with the group led by Erica (played by Elizabeth Mitchell). Fehr is set to play Eli Cohn, the leader of a new radical Fifth Column resistance movement who will have a much more uncompromising stance against the Visitors and will definitely pose some problems for our group of rebels, led by Erica, Jack (Joel Gretsch), Ryan (Morris Chestnut) and Hobbes (Charles Mesure).

Scott Rosenbaum, the V executive producer and show runner, talked about the new character to ign and revealed a few interesting tidbits about who Eli Cohn is and where he comes from.

"He is ex-Mossad, and one of the interesting things that we're doing with the show this year is that we're introducing a group of Fifth Column which is much more radical than our group," said Rosenbaum. "And essentially they have a much different philosophy than our main team does. Eli's philosophy is 'We need to attack now, strike now and start this war now,' rather than wait."

Rosenbaum also pointed out that there are differences between Erica's small group of ragtag resistance fighters (who because they are so outnumbered, prefer to wait for the right moment to strike and then strike hard) and Eli's:

"Oded's character, Eli, actually knows a lot more about what the Visitors are up to than our team does. And what he's learned is that the longer we wait to fight, the more we play into Anna and the Visitors' hands, because everything she's doing is a Trojan horse. The Blue Energy is a gift, but really it's just to get us all stuck on Blue Energy so they can turn it off."

What is more, it seems like Eli and Erica will share a mysterious, connecting secret (whatever that means) and that, according to Rosenbaum:

"Erica does not want collateral damage, but over the course of the arc maybe she'll come to learn that he's not much different than she is. She's also going to find, and I can't tell you what it is, a very shocking reveal. The two of them have something in common that she never would have guessed."

We don't know what that connection is or will be, but we're definitely looking forward to seeing what the writers have come up with. And the addition of Oded Fehr to the series (on top of Jane Badler) definitely has us pretty much excited.

V returns this November on ABC.

VERY spoilery stuff from NYCC.....
A very impressive amount of new footage was shown from Season 2 of V today at New York Comic Con – rather than simply show us a montage, or even a scene or two, we were treated to several long sequences from the new season.



The first sequence showed New York appearing in a chillingly quiet state, with cars all stopped and people all laying on the ground, motionless. Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) wakes up, the only person to stir among the populace. She begins yelling out for her son, Tyler (Logan Huffman), only to see him from behind, sitting on a bench. When she approaches him and touches his shoulder, he collapses into her arms, asking, "Mom, is that you? What did you do, Mom?" Suddenly Tyler's skin reddens and begins to peel and melt and he dies in her arms. Erica begins to cry, only to look up and see Anna (Morena Baccarin) standing before her. Says Anna, "You killed me children, so I killed yours." Erica then awakens, confirming this was all a dream. She walks out into her FBI offices, where she fell asleep. Her boss, Paul Kendrick (Roark Critchlow) , asks, "Didn't I send you home?" Erica waves him off, asking if anyone has been able to contact Anna, who has remained silent since the Red Sky began. Says Sarita Malik (Rekha Sharma), "There's still no proof the visitors are behind this."


We then see Marcus (Christopher Shyer) speaking with Anna in the mothership. When Anna dismisses his concern over her not speaking to the humans or the scientists who have been analyzing the situation, he tells her, "They can reach an answer on this own," and that one particular scientist concerns him because his, "work is reaching dangerous proximity to the truth." Marcus also warns her that the captains of the other ships were caught off guard by Anna's actions with the Red Sky and "are concerned that you yourself have been affected by human emotion." Marcus tells Anna the captains are all coming to meet with her.


The captains are all assembled and Anna speaks to them, noting, "I understand there are questions among you about the release of Red Sky." She assures them that it was all part of a plan, and adds, "No one – human or visitor – can comprehend the magnitude of what is coming." She promises she has everything under control and adds she is, "So appreciative of your trust and loyalty." This is when she approaches one of the captains. We see Anna from behind and her back begins to ripple… and that's when we see her whip out her tail for the first time! Her tail begins to slash the one captain's face, until he is knocked to the ground. She then keeps slashing and puncturing with it (below frame), while blood splatters her face. She then reaches down and pulls the captain up, but now his human face is completely split upon, showing his lizard face beneath. "Never forget what we are," Anna says, before using her tail to puncture him completely through, killing him. Marcus smiles.


The next scene showed Erica arriving home. She hears a noise at the door and opens it and Lisa (Laura Vandervoort) is there. Lisa looks upset and despondent, and Erica asks her what's wrong. "I'm not like you. I'm a visitor," says Lisa. She tells Erica that Anna is trying to change her and she has no one to talk to. Erica tells her she can talk to her and hugs Lisa, who begins crying.


Then we got the Big Scene for all old school V fans. Anna walks into a jungle-like environment, and we see a web-like, rope cocoon. Hands slowly reach out from inside pushing the ropes open, and out comes… Diana (Jane Badler)! Yes, the audience went wild for the original V star, as Anna coldly said, "Hello, mother."


The follow up to this scene shows Diana asking Anna why she's come to her, noting she hadn't seen her in 15 years – "Not since you put me down here." Anna tells Diana, "I had no choice. Your human skin was infecting you with emotion – weakening you," insisting she did it to 'protect my species." Diana then tells Anna, "I never thought it would take so long for you to admit that you felt human emotion." Anna insists she's been working harder than ever to stop their people from ever feeling human emotions, but still haven't been able to stop it. Diana reveals that she came to earth decades before, hiding among the humans, "To see if interbreeding were possible," only to realize they could not stop those children from being infected with human emotions. After Anna reveals Lisa has "entered her cycle of fertility," Diana notes Anna is infertile, but that she shouldn't keep Lisa on Earth if she is to breed. Says Anna, "I will make it work. it's Earth, or nothing."


Another scene shows Jack (Joel Gretsch) meeting with Chad (Scott Wolf) in the church. Chad feels awful about what is happening to Jack and suggests, "Maybe I can put out another piece and tell them the truth about Anna." Jack tells Chad, "They've already seen what they want to see," and that he will "weather the storm." Chad tells Jack, "You're a brave man, father," to which Jack replies, "Stay close to Anna. That's your role." He adds, "The Fifth Column holds strong as long as we have men like you fighting with us. It's time for you to meet the others."


The final scene we saw had Jack bringing Chad to Hobbes (Charles Mesure), Ryan (Morris Chestnut) and Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell). Chad is amused to see Erica, asking, "How's the Fifth Column task force," and she relies that is, "my day job." Says Hobbes, "I don't like this. He's burned us before." Chad tells him, "You're right. I'm here to make amends. Use me. Use my position with Anna." Ryan grimly notes, "Anna only tells you what she wants you to know. You have no idea what she's capable of." Says Erica, "You sure you're ready for this?"
