They claimed they were our friends...
Diana was the main person, and tried to seduce the main good guy.
But Marc Singer wouldn’t have anything to do with her, because he and his friends didn’t buy the stories the aliens told.
And eventually the truth behind her pretty face was discovered!
Some Trivia:
- The mother ships are matte paintings. There wasn't a large-enough budget to build miniatures for them.
- The series was intended as a literal telling of the Nazi takeover of German and the resistance movement against it. However, due to the popularity of Star Wars (1977), network execs had the producers change it to a science fiction mini-series.
- In a massive media campaign before the series aired, posters with the line "The Visitors Are Our Friends" appeared in subways around the United States--just as they did in the first part of the mini-series. Days before the first episode aired, each poster was spray-painted with a bright red "V" exactly as was done in the show.
- Was NBC's highest-rated program in two years. It had a 40 share and 80 million viewers for each episode.
- The laser effects cost US$1,000 each. The high cost was due to the lengthy post-production work by manually adding optical effects to the film.
ACTION!

V was awesome. I think the new Battlestar Galactica might edge it out though. That or Babylon 5
Babylon 5??? You're comparing babylon 5 that has maybe 1 million viewers per episode, to V???
That is a borderline terrible comment.
though it actually was good, had a plot arc that lasted 5 seasons and spawned several okay movies too.
V was, urm, V.
