A little over a year has passed since the events of the first mini-series, where do things stand now? The resistance, broken but not beaten, has begun to reassemble. Mike Donavan and Julie Parish have become closer as Mike continues to battle his mother and search for his son. The Visitors are continuing to hide their secret identities and objectives while still plundering Earth of it's resources and now it's population for food for the long trip home. Last but not least the little intergalactic shag fest between alien lizard stud Brian and horny Earth teen Robin Maxwell is about to come to fruition. From the life and death birth of Robin's child, the resistance may discover the secret weapon they have been waiting for. Brace yourselves for the final battle.

This is the conclusion of the mini-series and the beginning of the soon to be television series.

This chapter is a good closing to the story but a weak tie in to the TV series, mainly because the Visitors were handed a pretty solid ass kicking this time around.

New to V this time around is are Robert Englund (Freddy) as Willy the good hearted and naive alien who is taken in by the resistance for experimentation and research. He also serves as wet nurse in the birthing of Robin's child. We also meet Harmony this time around who falls in love with Willy, despite his forked tounge and lidless eyes. But the main addition to the story arch this time is the introduction of alien ass kicker Ham Tyler, played by Micheal Ironside. Tyler brings in some much needed firepower and balls to the resistance. Tyler is the perfect anti-hero to the "Gooder" hero of Marc Singer's Donavan character.

The birth of the babies is a mix of sadness and horror, I won't spoil what happens for those of you who have not seen it, but I really felt for the newborns, and it was a very moving moment for a sci-fi/horror flick.

In the end however the story holds up quite well and I liked this one more than the original series. A lot more action, more alien effects and a great final battle between good and evil, not bad.
