"Like the 1980s franchise of the same name, the reboot of V began with the same premise: aliens appear in the skies all over Earth, and appear, in human form, as the "Visitors" offering a new era of hope and prosperity. In reality, the Visitors are reptiles who, for the most part, want to subjugate the human race."
"Baccarin steals the show in every single episode as Anna, the queen and leader of the Visitors. At the time, in sci-fi circles, Baccarin was best known for Firefly and Stargate SG-1, but this was before her roles in Deadpool, Gotham, and Homeland. But V was very much a showcase for Baccarin's talents on an entirely different level."
The 2009-2011 V reboot ended on March 15, 2011, with its Season 2 finale. Based on the 1983 miniseries, the reboot followed aliens called Visitors appearing over Earth offering peace while secretly planning human subjugation. Morena Baccarin delivered a career-defining performance as Anna, the Visitors' queen, showcasing her talents at a level beyond her previous work on Firefly and Stargate SG-1. The reboot occupied a middle ground between legendary reboots like Battlestar Galactica and forgotten failures like Flash Gordon, representing a transitional moment in science fiction television rather than being definitively great or terrible.
