V The Final Battle Part One Recap

[Mikez4]

They are not like us......they are not our friends!

[lisadmoreno]

Isnt the new V getting too repetitive?? episodes keep passing and the story doesnt develop much. The original V never got old, every second was awesome and never repetitive as the new one. 80's V RULEZZZZ!!!!!

[HellBlazerRaiser]

I have chills!!!

I remember where I watched each part of THE FINAL BATTLE. Those six hours - Sunday, Monday and Tuesday - are etched in full in my memory.

[robfergusonjr]

@HellBlazerRaiser Me too! My dad recorded it all on VHS, May 1984, with commecials too, I never left the 80s with it :)

[HellBlazerRaiser]

@robfergusonjr My neighbor recorded it too. I used to watch her copies all the time.

What did you think of the new series?

[robfergusonjr]

@HellBlazerRaiser I didn't see it. I gave up on remakes a few years ago. Now only live in the past and watch old VHS and DVD movies from pre-1985.

[spicnspanish]

@robfergusonjr That's EXACTLY what I do!

[Aaronator19842009]

V The Original Mini-Series and V The Final Battle are real cool and I wish that Warner Bors. Home Entertainment was add these trailers and extra behind the scenes in their next DVD release and Blu-Ray release.

[kronos2501]

@Aaronator19842009 It would be totally awesome if WB were to release these miniseries on Blu-Ray. Maybe a combo pack, like Star Wars? I'd buy it :D

[Azanti]

Yeah this show was way awesome, it pissed all over the viewing figures of the olympic games in the UK which it went up against.

[crucialconflict02]

UGH! i LOVE the original V!

[VWVVWVVWV]

Nicely done! And a much better process shot at 4:25 than NBC did! Replacing all those shots must have been time consuming...

[VWVVWVVWV]

Actually more like 4:23

[kevinmmmk]

I love at the end how Julie throws her hands up and then cue right to Donovan; it looks like he's going down the birth canal lol.

[WrestlingHeretic]

Danny Dark = Best network voice-over announcer ever

[spicnspanish]

@WrestlingHeretic Thanks for giving out his name. I totally agree with u!

[HachiKouki]

God I HATE the new V. Just like the new Battlestar. SUCKS!

[dauntless111]

@HachiKouki

Dear god, I hope you are kidding, about Battlestar I mean.... 

[Ginge220]

Thanks for posting this great recap.... I hadn't seen it since it's original broadcast. This should have been included on the DVD!

[smartchai]

This was... and still is... just about one of THE best sci-fi series ever made ! What a cool and original idea to use a single letter to describe a very long and epic tale ! I remember how intense it was when I first saw it. I was still 7 or 8 y/o back then. It felt much more real than movies like "Star Wars" which also was... and still is, btw... a great movie series in its own right. The narrator made it even far more interesting than it already was. In a word, "V" RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Grooveraider]

@chris4309 - Wow, did you do the remastering of this? I haven't seen the recap in almost 2 decades and its just as I remember the NBC broadcast - very chilling. Thanks a bunch for uploading this. Nostalgia like a mofo !

[MrClamjuice]

It was an awesome TV short Movie..I don't care what anyone says.

Tremendously entertaining

[thedarkallies]

man, this looks like the WORST movie ever...

sucks shit worse than children of dune, thats so hokey!

[drumdemon3]

nah its actually the best and most amazing sci fi show ever and based on events of WW2 and the nazis but using aliens instead of crazy germans

[founder287]

That recap was epic! Now THAT is how to do it right!

[Aaronator19842009]

Warner Home Video should've have added these TV Spots for their DVD releases for V The Original Mini-Series, V The Final Battle and V The Series but they didn't which is a real shame.

[Aaronator19842009]

I'm glad I got V The Original Mini Series and V The Final Battle on Region 1 DVD.

Richard Herd is a birlltiant actor since T.J. Hooker, JAG, Sgt. Bilko and of course The China Syndrome.

I'm pleased I got his signed photo.

[cartoongameshowman]

Did you remastered this with VCR 2 PC or another editing software?

[rayoflightcanada]

baghdad 1988, we did not have a cable back then but some people managed to record it from Kuwait and brought back to Baghdad the full series, so unbelievable and intense, we use to stay up till 7 am watching the full episode like a global event

[cmlaurin1]

I do have to say that Jane Badler was hot then.

[canucklucky]

Diana: A Lady who plays a Lizard who plays a Lady!

[stonem001]

don't worry, dear Pamela. I'll do my scientific best to command your fleet

[sarahthediva]

The guy who says "fantastic" looks just like Dirk Diggler LOL

[tellthetruth811]

"and the sign blew up cause that name was so powerful"

[sarahthediva]

:) for sure

[Willbryant]

Thanks for posting. I always liked that "Halloween"-style theme in the background during the promos. Really gave me chills. Great show. The remake? From what I've seen so far? Eh...

[Suomipanzerdiv13]

"visitor youth core" aka hitler youth

and 1 of the visitors sign i some lines drawn inside a white circle and surounded by red, just like the nazi swatztika!

[goomannc]

You could add Obama Youth Corps to that!

[WrestlingHeretic]

Holy hyperbole, Batman!

[HIGHROLLERJIW]

holy shit! i knew it! carl malden really was an alien

[cu29640]

Its the other actor that looks like him. The V actor played Mr. Wilhelm on Seinfeld. George's boss when he worked for the Yankees.

[Aaronator19842009]

You mean Richard Herd?

He made a Guest Appearance in JAG and so did Andrew Prine.

[TaxiHack39]

Actually Thats Not Carl Malden Its Richard Herd Who Was The Police Captain In TJ Hooker

[HIGHROLLERJIW]

He looks like he could be a brother to carl malden. i remember him now from tj hooker

[PhoenixxxStar]

Some 80 million people watched this and the Mini-series when it came out! With those stats I would strongly recommend that this be a movie production rather than a tv movie. I'd also prefer Kenneth Johnson be a part of it as he was the Creator!!!!!

[PhoenixxxStar]

Could someone text me with any updates to the supposed movie that is in development? Supposedly none of the original cast is involved. I say we need Jane Badler but if she is an alien in a human mask how are they going to hide the age factor if they include her? Diana I believe was essential to V and it's plotline!!!!!!

[nortofacto]

There are clips for the re-imagined television version of V on youtube - just do a search for ABC V

[wvbrian]

I love this clip! Now I'm in the mood to watch the movies again! Thx for posting.

[audio1358]

I saw this so many times back in the 80s, have the VHS; have the Series on DVD.

But....they didnèt have no bloomin cure for cancer!!! If they could have cured cancer, then they could have solved their planet's "environmental difficulties"!!!!

[Oldestboy21]

Man... I loved this clip

[mjfarn]

Excellent. I remember watching this when I first saw V back in the 80's as a kid. For some reason they were not featured on the DVD release which was disappointing. Does anyone know if there is a final battle, episode 3 recap about?

[arcangel2003]

Daiana = Condoleezza Rice

They are coming for the water

[dome1972]

I remember watching this when I was a kid and this intro got me so worked up I couldn't sleep. Come to think of it, I'm pretty worked up right now.

[smartchai]

I've been hoping to get another chance to see the recap from "V: The Final Battle (part 1)". I saw it when it first aired on NBC. This was the most incredible TV movie series I ever watched. This is EXACTLY where I first learned about "V". I didn't see the original two-parter until afterwards. Many thanks for uploading the clip !

[myspaceheatherg]

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you put this up! I've been planning to make an abridged version of V and now I'm seeing it! They managed to tell the whole story of Humankind's Last Stand in under 5 minutes! Incredible! Thank You!

[retro38]

thanks for uploading these. I saw them when they aired on NBC when they showed the miniseries

[nortofacto]

Ah yes, that's just how I remember it from the first time I saw it - I wanna go & watch it again now!
