New V tv series

I always thought the "Final Battle" was BS.

At the end of the first miniseries the resistance found out that the aliens wanted humans for 2 reasons, for food and to fight their enemy, so the resistance sent out a distress call hoping the aliens’ enemy would pick it up.

I figured there were two scenarios for the "Final Battle", the first would be the alien enemy joins forces with the humans or the other would be the enemy is worse than the alien, but the enemy still follows the distress call and the aliens need our help to fight them, and we also need the aliens help to fight them (the devil you know...), so we come to a USA and Russia against Germany type of an alliance to fight them.

Instead of cool hi-tech battle scenes they created a (no special effects needed) disease that only kills aliens.  I was disappointed, the whole star child thing pissed me off too.

They also spun off a TV series that lasted one or two seasons. It wasn't as good as the two mini series, however I plan on eventually buying those as well from i tunes if they are still there.

I agree with you about the cheesy "sparkly star child ending" it was kind of lame. Interesting you should mention the distress call, and the other aliens. Apparently the writer wrote a novel in 08 depicting just that, called V (The second Generation) Here is link about it from Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_(The_Second_Generation)  I found this interesting. You seem to remember V quite well.

There was a third ending that combines my two ideas to create a better ending.

In my defense I was only 13 when I thought about the first two scenarios.

I'll have to see if they have that novel on tape at my library.

I guess that's a spoiler. She dies at the end of Lost. Well, sorta. We're left not 100% sure, but I guess her appearance in a new show maybe confirms it.

Cripes...I have a short memory.  I watched the entire season about two months ago.  :)  I won't write her off just yet...at least in the current living dimension or whatever.
