Should have, would have, could have...

I think I'd also reached the point where I was watching too much when this arrived. I should probably have recorded it to view later.

Catch up time..

V - Release Date for The Complete 1st Season on DVD and Blu-ray

Date not officially provided by Warner yet, but retailers are told to expect it in August
Posted by David Lambert 6/10/2010

In April we reported that Warner Home Video had begun preparing a release of V - The Complete 1st Season on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. At those links Amazon is taking pre-orders, but no release date was made available so far because the studio's official announcement for this title hasn't come through yet. Even though we're still waiting on that, word has gotten out to some retailers (like Walmart) that the street date for these sets will be August 24th. Keep in mind that it's not formally on Warner's schedule, though, so it could be subject to change. You're still able to pre-order it at the above links, however, at Amazon's discounted cost (list price is $39.98 SRP for the DVD, and $49.99 SRP for the Blu-ray). Package art is below! Stay tuned for updates with further details, once everything is finalized. Our thanks to reader Richard Nickell for his help with this story.

Looks.. who is joining the cast.. I knew it was only a matter of time.

The original Diana is joining the new V series!



The scariest V alien EVER is back! Jane Badler, who gave a lot of us nightmares when she ate rats as mothership commander Diana during the 1980s' run of that series, will return as the mother of Anna (Morena Baccarin), the NEW scariest V alien ever.

According to TV Guide's William Keck, as soon as he heard that the character of Anna's mother would be introduced in V's November second-season premiere, he begged executive producer Scott Rosenbaum for Badler to return in the role. And Rosenbaum listened.

We're happy, Keck is happy, Badler is happy, and Baccarin and Laura Vandervoort (who plays Anna's daughter) are also happy—but one person who won't be happy is the character of Diana, because:

   When V returns, we will learn that Anna (Morena Baccarin) is keeping her mother prisoner on the mother ship in a never-before-seen section that has been designed to look like the Visitors' home planet.

That's no way to treat a mother ... but it should make for some great television.

Cool news.  I need to still catch up on the last few episodes from the end of last season.

Jane 'Diana' Badler talks about her role in the new V

A few weeks back we told you that the extraordinary Jane Badler was joining ABC's V remake in the role from the original V that made her famous the world over, as the evil Guinea Pig eating reptilian alien "Diana." However, her new Diana is a bit different to the original one, and Badler talked about what it took to get the role and how it will be different this time around.

Badler told TV Guide that she actually had to fight to get the role of this new Diana:

"From the moment I heard V was coming back, it was something I was hoping to be part of, but they tested a lot of people for this role. A lot of years have passed, so it feels good to win something."

This new Diana is a different take on the character she played from 1982-1985. This time she plays mother to Morena Baccarin's Anna, who will have her mother imprisoned in a secret part of the ship, in a cell made to resemble the home planet:

"I'm the queen in exile, locked away in a dungeon for 15 years," quips Jane. "It's mother abuse!"

However, she also reveals that it was a bit difficult not to revert back to the performance she gave in the 1980s, which was a bit more camp and over-the-top (but lots of fun): "I'm still the way I've always been -- lots of hair and eyes. A bit Raquel Welch-ish."

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that Jane.

Original V Star Marc Singer Returns to ABC's V!
Nov 29, 2010 11:01 AM ET
by William Keck

The excitement just keeps on building for ABC's V. Following the awesome news that Jane Badler will be appearing as Anna's evil mother Diana comes word that Jane's original V co-star Marc Singer will also be appearing on the updated version of NBC's '80s cult fave. A show source tells me exclusively that Marc, who played freedom fighter Mike Donovan in the '80s version, will be playing a new character named Lars Tremont. Lars is a member of a super top secret organization comprised of high-ranking military and government leaders from around the globe, who have long suspected that the Visitors — despite what they tell us — are very much not here in peace.

Marc, 62, is also known to sci-fi fans for his role in the 1982 film The Beastmaster and the more recent Beastmaster spin-off series, while soap fans might Remember him from Dallas or The Young & the Restless. Jane Badler will make her debut in the Jan. 4 season premiere, while Marc will pop up in the 10th episode, which is also the second season finale. The two won't share any scenes in the episode...but there's always that possibility in season three. (Fingers crossed.) Faye Grant, make sure your cell phone's charged! You might be next.
