I was eleven years old in 1983. Like most people my age, parents everywhere tuned into the original. Sure, I watched it at 11 years old. I wonder looking back now, years later, how much did I miss as a child? Being a closet Sci-Fi geek I decided to give this a try. I enjoyed the graphics, the acting, the music, and the writing to the 2009 remake. The downside for me was two fold. I do not think 46 minutes is enough for true character development. I felt no real loss when Elizabeth's character ended up an alien. I was starting to like him, and episode two or three could have spilled the beans for me. Because of the time restraint, the feeling of being rushed is an understatement. Series now a days leave more for the imagination. Fans don't mind watching and waiting another week for another clue. And based on the reviews I have seen, many didn't see the 1983 series, so it's not like they are knowing what to expect!
