V (The Pilot)
There's a remake of the old 80s scifi miniseries V that just broadcast its pilot last Tuesday. It's available here:

I just watched it and I think it has potential, although I'm not ready to say its quite up to the original miniseries yet except for effects which are awesome. It feels a little rushed but I think its still engaging.
For other Catholics on my friends list: one of the main characters is a priest who joins the resistance. I like his character but one scene made me laugh when he hears that the Vatican's position on the alien Visitors is simply that they are all God's creatures. Our priest hero is incredulous: "They decided that in a day?" Ha! Yeah, right. Like the Vatican decides anything in a day. We're the Catholic Church. We think in terms of centuries. And obviously the producers have never heard of exotheology.
