Original 'V' Actress To Join Current 'V' Series!

This must be one of the most awesome, geek worthy news I've heard all week.

Jane Badler, who played the utterly cool, gerbil eating, alien visitor and villainous leader Diana on the original V series will reprise her famous role in the season premiere of the new incarnation of V in the fall.

Not only is the 56 year old actress returning as Diana, but we also learn that she will be Anna's (Morena Baccarin) own mother! Apparently, this Diana is a new incarnation of the character, and she will have a recurring role on the series.

When the series return, the viewers will find out that Anna is keeping her mother prisoner in a previously unseen area of the ship designed to look like the aliens' home planet.

It seems it was both Morena Baccarin and Laura Vandervoot's (who plays Lisa, Anna's daughter) hope to have Jane Badler play Diana.

What do you think of this news, will it make you want to watch V even more when it returns on ABC in November?
