ABC‘s V will be holding a panel discussion with its cast at Comic – Con this Saturday in San Diego ( 2:30 pm in Ballroom 20 ).. While it’s sure to be exciting, I’ve already received some early intel on two new characters joining the sci – fi series in its second season..

On the ground, a radical anti – Visitors Fifth Column sect will emerge, headed by a leader the show is currently casting..

But the new role that has me most jazzed: the mother of devilish V leader Anna ( Morena Baccarin ) will be making her debut.. Could this part possibly go to Jane Badler, who played the wicked Diana in the original 1980′s V? Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum recently told me he was looking to bring in some of the stars from the Original series, so wouldn’t casting Badler make perfect sense? I can only imagine the sparks that would fly if Diana and Anna ended up in the same ‘ mother ‘ ship.. Diana is about the only being I can think of who could possibly put Anna in her place, and then take granddaughter Lisa ( Laura Vandervoort ) out for a gerbil burger..

This is a really interesting turn of events.. I actually mentioned this role for Jane Badler ages ago.. You can read more about it here..

Those fans who are waiting for V: The New Series Season One to be released on DVD or Blu – Ray, will have to wait a little longer.. TVShowsonDVD.com recently reported:

With the original date of August 24th approaching fast, and no official studio announcement, we went back to our original sources and asked for an update.. Or contacts in the retail world told us that the schedule had been pushed back, probably due to ABC’s change of plans for airing the second season.. Since the network has decided to save Season 2 for midseason, airing in either late 2010 or even possibly the first quarter of 2011, industry sources tell us that Warner no longer needs to bow the home videos for the rookie year in the release – heavy late summer.. However, they don’t want to push it past the holiday gift – giving season, either! So we’re told to expect V – The Complete 1st Season on DVD and Blu – ray to now invade stores on October 19th..

This date hasn’t been confirmed by a studio announcement yet, and could still be subject to change.. Stay tuned for updates!

V: The New Series will be welcoming a new Producer / Writer to the ” V Team..” David Rambo, known for his work in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.. Rambo has been a Writer, Producer, Supervising Producer and Co – Producer since 2004, when he wrote his first script for the CSI series for an episode called ” Butterflied..” Butterflied aired in January 2004 and it was the highest rated TV program of the week..

In 2006, Rambo wrote ” The Lady with All the Answers,” a play about the life and work of ” Eppie “ Lederer, better known as Ann Landers..

But David has decided to hang up his gloves from CSI and adventure into a new genre, V: The New Series.. Rambo recently announced:

” Yes, it is true.. I decided to leave CSI at the conclusion of Season 10 when my contract expired.. I am very excited about my new show, V..”

I, for one, am excited about David joining the team.. I’ve been a fan of his work in CSI for many years.. And though it’s said to see him leave after six seasons of the series, it’s great to see him heading over to V..

Aloha all Veeks.. Just want to let all the fans know what is happening with the website lately.. I’ve received a fair few emails in the past few days from fans, letting me know that the website is down.. The reason for this is, the current website host are saying that they can’t handle what has been happening lately with updates of the website.. I’ve been trying to upload the first gallery for V: The Original Mini – Series ” Part One,” but have had nothing but issues.. It ends up crashing the website or the complain that the website is hogging the shared server..

So, I am currently looking into swapping hosts to a company that can handle the updates and increasing size of the website.. This might cause the website and forums to go down for a few days, but don’t worry, The V Files will be back up as soon as possible..

Once the website has moved over to the new host, I’ll be working on getting more of the Episode Guides up.. This will include all the information you will ever want to know about each episode.. Screen shots, videos, .mp3′s, and a lot more for each, including the most detailed Episode Guide you will ever find.. I’ll also get around to add images for Novels, Comics, Cards, Toys, Props and a hell of a lot more..

So please bare with me over the next week.. Hopefully I can start working on the change over in the next few days.. And stay tuned for a bigger and better website..

Also, please leave comments of what you’d like to see on the website.. As mentioned, there are a lot of pics and info waiting to be added, which I will be doing as soon as I transfer hosts.. But let me know, as I might not have thought of it, or can let you know what is planned for it..
