Fans have been missing the ABC alien invasion drama V, which ran for two seasons before being cancelled in 2011. The series starred Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans, an FBI with suspicions about a race of aliens who made first contact with earth. Though the aliens, led by Anna (Morena Baccarin) appeared to be friendly, they were in reality looking to take over the world.

The series ended on a note of desperation: Erica's son Tyler (Logan Huffman) was killed, while the Visitors made a massive move to enslave humanity. It was a dark ending for the series, but according to Elizabeth Mitchell, season 3 was going to bring hope.

Mitchell, who currently stars on NBC's Revolution, revealed that she knew the direction of the planned third season -- and it was a positive one: "I was very sad, because I was told that [the third season] was going to be, we were going to start to win," Mitchell told Assignment X. "And I was told how that was going to happen. And not a day goes by that I don?t meet somebody who says, 'What was going to happen? I missed it, I didn?t see it.' I can?t believe how many fans there were out there. They talk about it every day. So yeah, we were going to win ? just so you know."

Though a fan campaign was staged to bring the series back on another network -- the CW and TNT were campaigned the hardest -- it doesn't look like the series will ever conclude. As mentioned above, Mitchell now stars on Revolution, while Morena Baccarin has a starring role on Homeland. But it is nice to have confirmation that, had it continued, V would have had a happy ending.

I actually really liked V and I miss it now that it's gone... along with many other series... Firefly, Stargate Universe, Stargate Atlantis, Star Trek Enterprise, etc, etc

we need moar sci-fi !!

and for some reasons majority of them got axed.

I find that a lot of Sci-fi shows have the same problem, they have a great premise but they keep attempting to reach the family group. Terra Nova and Revolution spring to mind as examples. Great ideas, but the stories had to be for all ages. If they had been darker or more mature (like the reboot of BSG, for example) they would have my attention.

V didn't suffer from this problem though. I just didn't get on with it. I think it was the pacing that killed it for me.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.

      It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware by Sayan Sen When Windows 11 was first released, one of the most complained-about issues with the new desktop Microsoft OS was its higher system requirements, which pushed many relatively modern and powerful processors and devices onto the officially unsupported list. Thankfully, they have not been updated again for the base OS, though systems require four times the memory and storage if they want to run AI-powered apps and features. As such, Windows 11 technically runs on 4GB of memory, and there is no imposed restriction on the generation of memory it supports. Speaking of memory, prices are extremely high nowadays for hardware, especially DDR5 and DDR4 kits due to the current silicon shortage, and there are also reports of it affecting DDR2 as well, and it might only be a matter of time before even DDR1 gets affected. Before that could happen, an enthusiast took an ancient DDR1-based system and decided to try out Windows 11 on it to see how well the modern OS would fare on such hardware. The system runs an outdated graphics card interface standard based on AGP, or Advanced Graphics Port, called AGP 3.0 or AGP8x. AGP was essentially succeeded by the modern PCI Express (PCIe) bus standard. The user behind the experiment is retro hardware enthusiast Omores, who built the system around an ASRock ConRoe865PE motherboard based on Intel's i865PE chipset from way back in 2003, around the time when AGP was still in fashion. What made this board special back in the day was its unusual support for newer Core 2 Duo and even Core 2 Quad processors while still retaining older DDR1 memory support and an AGP8X graphics slot, making it an ideal bridge or link between two vastly different generations. Powering the machine was Intel's Core 2 Quad Q6600 alongside 3GB of DDR1 RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4650 AGP graphics card, one of the final and most capable GPUs released for the aging AGP interface. While installing Windows 11 itself was relatively easy by bypassing Microsoft's hardware checks, getting the graphics card fully functional proved to be some challenge. Microsoft had quietly dropped native AGP support after the earliest releases of Windows 10, meaning newer versions of Windows no longer include the necessary Graphics Address Remapping Table (GART) drivers required for proper AGP acceleration. Without them, AGP graphics cards typically boot up, though with limited functionality, and can often throw a Code 43 error in Device Manager. To work around the limitation, Omores extracted Intel's legacy AGP440 SYS driver from an early Windows 10 release and paired it with a modified INF file so Windows 11 would correctly recognize the chipset. Following this and combined with AMD's final 64-bit Catalyst AGP drivers from 2012, the Radeon HD 4650 was able to operate with full AGP 8X acceleration intact. The result was said to be surprisingly usable for hardware that is over two decades old. Hardware-accelerated H.264 video playback worked correctly and benefited apps like Firefox, while legacy applications and games ran without major graphical issues. The system also successfully completed the 3DMark 2001 benchmark, although performance naturally lagged behind what the same hardware achieves under Windows 7, which is significantly lighter than Windows 11. There was, however, one unavoidable limitation as Microsoft's Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a mandatory SSE4.2 CPU instruction requirement that cannot be bypassed through installer modifications or registry tweaks. Since no AGP-era processor supports SSE4.2, Windows 11 version 23H2 effectively becomes the final release capable of running on such systems. Regardless, it is still a very cool feat and quite fascinating to see just how stable Windows 11 turned out to be on such unfamiliar hardware. Source: Omores (Patreon) via O_MORES (Reddit)

      That will only really help other players that are also responsible for creating the problem.

      Well, it's good to know that they have found a workaround to a problem that they helped create, I guess...
