V |
quoteNot too long ago I caught a commercial for this and it reminded me a little bit of Battlestar Galactica (these V's made me think of the Cylons), so I'm going to check this out when it premieres. Hopefully it's as good as the commercial led me to believe it could be. ------------------- | |

Whenever I saw the commercials, I kept on expecting to see this:
![]() But I love sci-fi series so I'll definitely check it out. ------------------- | |

I'm looking for some new sci-fi, and this looks like it'll be great, plus it's been getting some fantastic reviews. It just sucks it'll only air for 4 weeks and then go on hiatus until March 2010.

I had no clue what this was until I saw a poster online last night, and judging it based on that I thought it looked lame as *bleep*. Then I explored a bit further and read some reviews, and they're absolutely ridiculous. I've never seen anything get such overwhelmingly positive reception. I went from not knowing the show existed, to thinking it looked lame, to not being able to wait until the pilot debuts, all in about two minutes. Awesome.

Yeah some guy at EW said he rated the pilot 11/10 if possible. Seems the hype is quite big. Hopefully its good. I need a decent tv series to keep me happy

And how fitting (funny) that they're going to leave their mark soon. Literally. From an ABC press release:
quoteI sure hope the authorities in NYC know about this, could be mass pandemonium. And not the good kind. I don't live anywhere near these so I won't see it. ------------------- | |

ABC has put up what supposedly is the first 8 minutes of the premiere. It can be viewed at the show's web page:
http://abc.go.com/shows/v/ Click on the "more video" tab then on "A first look at V". After watching it I also saw some elements that reminded me of the movie "Independence Day". It certainly doesn't waste much time getting to the V's arriving. ------------------- | |

It's gotten generally good reviews, the only downside is only 4 episodes will air then it's on hiatus until next year. Production won't resume until January. Hopefully it sticks around long enough for the "planned vision" for the show to be revealed, which would mean roughly 4 seasons.
It's a decent premiere, pretty much what I expected although of course it's a little on the slow side. At least it sets up what look to be the key angles that'll play out throughout the series-both the good and bad sides of the argument and of course a bit of typical "teen angst romance". ------------------- | |

Yeah, probably since it's November Sweeps so it's a bit of a ratings stunt, but the holidays usually bring tons of pre-emptions so it's a calculated strategy...but I'm afraid it'll backfire. We all know what Tuesdays starting in January mean...
Decent premiere episode, got interesting in those last 12 minutes or so with the "we know they're V's, but not everyone else does" angle starting. They should've just called this Battlestar Galactica 2.0, that seems to be where the appeal is. I'll stick with it through these first 4 episodes then decide whether or not to stay the course when it returns. Oh, and that remote-type device that setup the big fight scene was totally kick-ass. Can't wait to see more of that thing. ------------------- | |

re: V |
quote beachbodDidnt catch this post earlier but Yeah I agree I Barely watch Tv anymore cause nothing keeps me entertained enough And from this first episode this show looks like it will be really good thats why I am kinda pissed that Its only 4 episodes for now. But at the same time to me it has a Heroes feel to it. Its going to be really good for the first season and then go to shits after that. But I hope thats not the case for this show ------------------- | |

The original series from 83 was actually awesome.

I was impressed by the premiere, everything was top-notch, from the acting to the special effects. The reveal of the sleeper Vs was pretty awesome too, as I was expecting that at all. Loved see two Firefly vets on the show, Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk. Baccarin is fantastic as the V leader, Anna.
I'm just worried about the hiatus it will take after the fourth episode, if the majority of viewers will stick around. Good news though, the premiere had fantastic ratings, with 13.9 million viewers. There's obviously going to be a drop-off for next week, as that's usually the case for a second episode of a new series. But, very impressive premiere numbers.

The more important number, ratings-wise, is the 5.0 it did in 18-49. That led the hour and even beat NCIS on CBS. Very strong start.
