Robert Englund (yeah, Freddy himself) was one of the cast in the original, and he was the "klutzy" visitor, which added a bit of humor and "humanity" into the visitors, and one that is sorely lacking in this one based on the pilot episode... maybe we'll see it improve in the succeeding episodes, I dunno :) But Diana (Jane Badler) in the original was more "feral" from the get-go than Ana in this new version... you can immediately tell from Diana that she is up to no good from the first time we see her on screen ;) - T Haha, too bad you didn’t see the original… Robert Englund (yeah, Freddy himself) was one of the cast in the original, and he was the “klutzy” visitor, which added a bit of humor and “humanity” into the visitors, and one that is sorely lacking in this one based on the pilot episode… maybe we’ll see it improve in the succeeding episodes, I dunno :)

I kinda felt that it was rushed and the characters were underdeveloped because of this. Other than that it look good, nice effects.

I'm still gonna have to see how they'll handle the purpose of visitors being on earth... in the original, it was about food and water, but mostly about the water... in this new one, it's starting to look more like war of the worlds. We'll find out by end of November, I guess - they said they'll only air 4 episodes of this thing and gauge viewer interest before releasing the rest...
