I think it could work.
Think tinman. It seemed along the lines of a remake at first but bought a lot more to the table...I could picture V being remade in such a way, but also as a continuation, lets say similar events occur but a little later down the line it could be revealed that it had happened before, and maybe everyone was brainwashed/memory wiped as a final attack/retreat tactic...of course the later introduction of any of the "old" characters dismissed as crazy would be the one that it didn't work on...etc...and yeah...just a basic idea but I think there's a lot of ways it could work.

The original...I was a little kid when that was on, when it first broadcast the first thing I remember seeing was someone eat a rat? ha...scared me. I later bought the entire series + the final battle or whatever...still rock solid IMO.
