New ABC series V to premiere tonight
Elizabeth Mitchell (”Lost”) headlines “V,” a remake of the 1980s series about an alien occupation. Mitchell plays FBI Counter Terrorist Agent Erica Evans. The rest of the cast, as reported by NewsOK’s TV blog, includes Logan Huffman as Tyler; Scott Wolf as Chad Decker; Morena Baccarin as Anna; Joel Gretsch as Father Jack; Morris Chestnut as Ryan Nichols; Lourdes Benedicto as Valerie; Laura Vandervoort (”Smallville”) as Lisa. The show airs at 7 p.m. Tuesdays on ABC.
With Mitchell and Vandervoort, the show has some Nerdage-friendly actresses on board. Last year, I talked to the show’s original creator, Kenneth Johnson, about his book continuing the series. The new ABC series is a reboot rather than a continuation, however. You can check out a trailer here in advance of watching tonight’s show.

That scene in the trailer with the spaceship arriving is incredible — reminds me of some of the grand entrances on this list of Top 10 TV Alien Arrivals, Invasions & Landings. http://www.tvtango.com/news/detail/id/111
