How about Ham Tyler's associate? The bearded guy. He never got any credit for anything. He was a badass with a crossbow as I recall.

Michael Ironside's performance in the original V is rock solid.

"Say goodnight hot shot."

Yeah, I still feel just plain dumb for not knowing about this original series. Like it took me two decades to watch Twin Peaks all the way through.

Action: I'd go with swiveling in my desk chair. Very dramatically.

Anything can be "action" if done in the correct manner - I'd click over and watch the entirety of that video.

The original V is very dated, but the first miniseries especially is actually pretty good. The original creator left in the middle of the second one due to a conflict with the network, and it shows.

I feel like a rube. Though I am old enough, and though this seems like something I would have loved to watch, I was completely unaware of an original V until two days ago when a friend mentioned this "remake." But, I was already intrigued, so it doesn't matter.

Action: define action. Is running action? Is throwing a frisbee for my dog action? Is taking the elevator down four floors to have a cigarette in the horrible, horrible Hudson River wind action?

So....true story. I get stuck with the Bears/Browns game yesterday so I flip over to SyFy (not SciFi) and there is V staring me in the face. I watch that for about two hours, pop in Star Trek II - Wrath of Khan and then eat dinner to prepare for the World Series game. That bores me after the second inning so I switch back over to SyFy and and bammo! two and a half more hours of the V Finale. The wife came home with about thirty minutes to go and she was entranced. I loved the hot air balloon's. You can never defeat a group of hot air balloon's.

We're watching the remake, or whatever they want to call it, on ABC tomorrow at my wife's request....thank you SyFy.
