yup. I think that was the reason.

I just figured that since Dianas ship was always being infiltrated by the resistance that by being there Lizard selves would make it alot harder to move about in Human form. It was just a thought.

Originally, the story was going to strictly be about that happening, but ABC (is that right?) wanted a sci-fi show to capitalize on the Star Wars phenom. Seeing the Visitors walk around in their true forms would have destoryed that allegory.

Michael Bay may not have raped my childhood, but I think he may have molested it.

iI haven't seen the sneak peek yet, but I do have a question.
Do you think Thursday nights will be Action Thursdays for ABC?
I wouldn't be suprised if LOST joined this show and FlashForward.
It would go like
8/7c- V
9/ 8c- FlashForward
10/9c- LOST
LOST Season 6: Destiny is Found 2/2/2010.

and the mother ships look like Malls of the future!

So far it is kinda 'meh' for me. Visually nice, but the original miniseries did this so much better as far as pacing and such. so now they have it that there were sleeper cells of Visitors and people already know about them being reptiles?

And the New Series Starts. I Loved it. It gave me chills watching it at the end when you saw the start of the Resistance.
