I found the late fall (four week) airing of the re-vamped "V" to be pretty interesting, especially the last of the four back in November. In the episode entitled "It's Only the Beginning" the alien leader Anna, played so well with cold calculating precision by Morena Baccarin, is upping her mission to convince the world she can be as human as the rest of them and has everyone's best interests at heart. (Of course, as any loyal "V" viewer-past of present-knows, this is far from the truth since she and her reptilian co-horts are secretly plotting the world's demise)
"It's Only the Beginning" has an amazing closing moment where Anna goes off to meditate in a quiet part of her spaceship (sounds kooky, but this scene really works!) and the Sigur Ros song "Svefn-g-Englar" begins to play. The moment I heard this song my blood chilled. I have long loved it ever since it was used (just as well as it is in the scene from "V") perfectly in the often-hated, but actually-pretty-good film "Vanilla Sky."
I just hope ABC does indeed bring "V" back in March and that the long absence doesn't kill its chances in the ratings...
