V: The New Series ” Pilot ” Locked In..

If you read our post about the Promtional Art Work I posted about 4 days ago, you would have read of a rumor I had heard.. That V: The New Series will be airing on the 3rd November 2009 at 8pm.. Well during the ABC Television Critics Association press tour panel, it was announced that V: The New Series will begin its run on Tuesday 3rd November 2009 at 8pm..

V: The New Series executive producer Scott Peters has revealed that concerns over the alien Visitors not seeming impressive or powerful enough has led to reshoots for the pilot episode screened at Comic – Con, which we reviewed back in May, and the addition of some new alien technology … and added that fans should expect to see much more of that kind of thing in the future:

” What we’re determined to do is introduce a little bit, a new piece of alien tech, Visitor tech, try to do it every episode.. Certainly try to give a little bit of culture, peel back the onion of what their mandate is, what’s really behind it, what’s really going on, and just see the political stuff that goes on aboard the ship, just like we have political stuff underneath the ship..”

Alien in – fighting? Political stuff within the ranks of the good guys? Sounds suspiciously similar to Battlestar‘s special formula, but that may be because Peters shares Galactica producer Ron Moore’s aversion to space opera cliche:

” To us, the characters drive the show.. Yes, it’s set against this huge science fiction backdrop, but I can watch spaceships for a couple of minutes and be, ‘ Yeah, it’s cool.. Now what have you got?’ I can watch an action sequence for a couple of minutes and go, ‘ That’s great. Now what have you got?’ Characters have to be the thing that drive the show and that you really invest in, and when you do have the action sequences and you do come to the new technology, it’s just icing on the cake..”

Although Scott Peters is quick to joke that his secret plan is to try and attract every single Sci – Fi fan by turning V: The New Series into what one critic calls the Love Boat of science fiction courtesy of a cast that includes alum from Firefly, The 4400 and LOST, he promises he really did simply go with the best actors we could find..
