What happens

V: The Final Battle (abbreviated as V:TFB) is a 1984 American science fiction TV miniseries. It is a sequel to the 1983 miniseries V written by Kenneth Johnson about aliens known as "The Visitors" trying to take over Earth. Johnson parted ways with NBC over creative differences regarding the content of the miniseries; his writing contribution is credited under the pseudonym "Lillian Weezer". With a budget of $14 million (one million more than the original four hours), production was delayed until script finalised in December 1983 and filming commenced in mid-January 1984, concluding in late March just six weeks before air date. V: The Final Battle is included in the V novelization written by A. C. Crispin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
