The challenge for the people working with the new V is to do that in a way that is intersting. So far they are failing.
from what it looks like...they went ahead and "outes" the visitors very early in the series...
the original V you were left wondering for quite a few episodes (like 10 maybe) what the heck ws going on
my remember my family getting VCR tapes of episodes that weren't airing on regular TV and huddling around the TV to watch
