V: The Cancelled 2009 Alien Invasion Series Deserved a Proper Conclusion

In 1983, V first debuted as a mini-series. It chronicled the story of alien visitors who arrive on Earth in motherships; they look like us, they talk like us, and they say they are of peace. A group of humans learn of their true plans — and their concealed reptilian skin — and lead a resistance against them. Years after this series ended, I watched it on DVD many times with my sister. As a young science fiction fan, I loved the concept.

In 2009, ABC rebooted the show. Twenty-nine motherships descend from the skies, and Anna (Morena Baccarin) announces the existence of extraterrestrial life to the world. As always, they come in peace. The series follows FBI Agent Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell), who learns the truth about the Visitors early on and recruits others to help lead a methodical resistance against Anna.

While it does have some shortcomings, I like this new incarnation of V. Unfortunately, it was canceled by ABC after its second season. The season two finale did not properly conclude the show, as many storylines were left up in the air. It’s always disappointing when a show you’re invested in is canceled before the writers can finish it.
