V circa 1984
I have been working through the 1984 version of V. It’s getting sort of hard to continue. The cheesy acting, ridiculous fight scenes and Fisher Price special effects are silly at first but get rather annoying after awhile. There are a few characters that really stand out on the show.
The head V bad guy is Diana. They dress her up in these white and red body suits. From the waist up Diana is pretty hot for 1984. However her ass, hips and legs are HUGE. When you look at her profile pics she is always angled in such a way to hide it but in the show it is all on display to see. It’s humongous.
She does a pretty decent job playing a bad guy. Compared to some of the acting performances on the show hers is probably one of the best.
Michael Ironside is on the show as a “good” guy. He actually is a bad guy that winds up on t
he good side due to a common enemy, the visitors. You might not know the name but you would know his face for sure. He has been on tv for years and pretty much exclusively as a villain. He just has the face for it.
Donovan is the worst actor in the series hands down. He is so overly dramatic you can’t help but laugh at him. He also happens to be ripped to shreds, in incredible shape for 1984. Maybe he was making up for a lack of acting ability. I know he has been in various roles over the years but I couldn’t name a single one.
He has this weird thing going on. In almost every fight scene he magically has a pair of beat up leather construction gloves on. I don’t know if the gloves had magical V beat down powers but they seem to show up on every episode.
His acting is so bad, it has to be witnessed to be fully appreciated.
Like I said, the show is sort of dragging for me. I think I have something like a dozen episodes to go. I’m not sure I can make it. Unlike Lost, where 5 seasons went down like a case of Zima, 1984 V is being forced down my throat while I am holding my nose.
