Book Reviews of the V: The Second Generation
Customer Review: He would have been better served by fan fiction
Summary: 4 Stars
Kenneth Johnson forgot what drives continuing interest in a franchise, at some point you have to listen to the fans a little bit. He may not have liked the Final Battle but I think most viewers did. Almost all of the fan fiction I've ever seen included it as canon and just dropped the TV show. I am fifty pages from the end and I like it - except for the fact that 'insectoid' aliens looked human - but I miss Ham Tyler. He was a great foil for the sometimes goody-two shoes attitude of the Resistance. I didn't find a character nearly as captivating in this one. In fact, the names were so bland that I really had to focus to remember who was what. And while there are a few scene recaps of the original miniseries, there are no reminders of the other members (Elias and his father, Robert's daughters, Mike's son, Sancho).
Read for nostalgia but I doubt this piece will convince anyone to restart the show. (I say that regretfully. I've waited twenty-plus years for a continuation only to find that half of what I wanted to see whas neglected.
