Return of the Visitors

Those lizard-skinned, hamster-eating visitors from another planet are coming back.

Variety reports that ABC is planning to reboot V, the classic sci-fi mini-series known for its Nazi-esque subtext (as well as cheesy special effects like that infamous alien baby) that had teen geeks like me glued to their television sets back in the early 80's.

The new version (V: v.2?) will reportedly swap out the Holocaust themes in favor of a trendy "War on Terror" allegory, but will no doubt feature lots of cheesy CGI.
