A To Z Challenge: V "Escape from the Mothership"


For my first A to Z Challenge ever, I'm highlighting a favorite track from various science fiction and fantasy movies, games, and TV shows. Feel free to press play and listen while you visit other A to Z participants.

Color me shocked if you know about V (The Visitors), the sci fi miniseries from the 80's that spawned a reboot in the late 2000's. You owe it to yourself to find this show and watch it if you haven't. Basically, the story is about a bunch of aliens who come to us for help, but a group of suspicious humans investigate and learn of the alien's true intentions. Scary! Step back into the 80's with this track from Joseph Harnell.



There will be a new track tomorrow. Thank you for stopping by!

I'm David, and "we have come in peace (yeah, right!)"

    I didn't care for the reboot but I never missed an episode of the original. Cheese and all!

    V is one of those shows I never got around to watching and have always wanted to. It seems like something I'd really enjoy...thanks for the reminder to look it up!

    The original V miniseries (both of them) were great. The series not as much.

    I had such great hopes for the new V series. Alas, it just wasn't that great. I remember the old one a little bit. It was pretty cool.

    I loved the two original mini-series and thought the series itself was sloppy and silly. What a shame.

    I think they tried that 'we come in peace' tactic in Mars Attacks too, then they blasted the peace dove and the Chihuahua puppy. Just to show they meant business. I didn't however, see this V.

    My son got me into V and I have to say I loved it. Watched all of them. Not as good as Battlestar Gallactica but not bad.

    I remember thinking when I was little, OMG what if the Visitors are the bad guys, someone has to do something ! Earth is in danger...

    Thanks for sharing this one, especially the summary of the story line. Every time I would see a bit of advertisement for this one, I would remind myself to check out what it was about. Naturally, other shiny things sci-fi kept distracting me and I would forget it existed altogether. :)

    Does it give away my age to say I distinctly remember watching this series in the 80s on the small black-and-white TV in my bedroom?

    I love V! Too bad the reboot got cancelled but it got rather confusing in the second season. The 80's version is the best.

    I watched the reboot and while it might not have been well received, it made me want to watch the original series...then I forgot lol I like the music!

    I wasn't able to watch the original series, but I liked the reboot they did. I was bummed it was canceled. It's cool to hear the music :)

    Color you shocked? LOL just who do you think your readers are, exactly? I distinctly remember watching this in the early 80's on our big floor TV (that only had three channels) with the rest of the family, while eating our TV dinners...

    V was so great. The image of Diana eating the rodent is with me for life.

    I watched both. My hubby and I were so sad when the reboot got canned. They had been doing such a great job with it! Great pick!

    I watch both, too. I liked the original and the reboot. I was sad when both were cancelled! And they cancelled the reboot on a cliffhanger. I hate that!!!!

    Like Alex, I didn't care for the reboot, but the original caught me at the right time in my maturity ... or lack thereof! :-)

    This was one of my family's "together" times! We would all watch the series together. It maybe kind of sort of scared me, despite how hokey it would seem now. I was super young!

    I never watched the reboot, despite the lovely Morena Baccarin being attached to it. Seems it fared decently?

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
