V

Okay, who watched it and what did you think? Personally I thought it was very well done, though there were a few stumbles here and there. Either way, much better than the original.

Re: V

I really enjoyed it. They got things moving fast with allusions to past events, and time-truncating the V's arrival (they are here, one commercial break later, they've been here for three weeks). It was tricky storytelling and the writers did a good job with it.

However, I have to brace myself to deal with two things: 1) the scientific idiocy of bi-pedal "lizard men" from another planet that have our same body plan save for green skin and big eyes, and 2)  the even more absurd concept that "lizard men" can just go ahead and breed with humans. Sure, we can't even breed with Earth reptiles, let alone "reptile men" from another frickin' planet.

It was entertaining.  It did make me nostalgic for the olden days when these shows were cool just cause they were...

Re: V

So far, so good. I remember the original quite fondly.

But I don't think the plot is going to hold up to much scrutiny -- suspend disbelief now and just go with the flow.

Re: V

When was there any mention of breeding? Don't tell me I missed something important because I left the room and forgot that modern technology lets me pause my TV again.

DVR not set.  FAIL.  Hoping ABC will stream it.

Re: V

Well, I don't remember that from the pilot. And we were watching DVR, so I don't think I missed anything important like that. Perhaps the FDO has knowledge that we are not privy to yet.

Re: V

But now it makes more sense if that's what he was referring to.

Re: V
I think the FDO is referencing the events of the original series.  I remember the "birthing scene" vividly. It was disgusting by 1980's standards. Mild by today's standards.

Re: V

...and I dug it!

I expected it to suck but they did a really good job setting up the story.  Some things seemed a bit rushed and I wish they would have had the time to flesh a few more aspects, but it still really well done.  Hope it continues to be good.

Re: V
I did the same thing.  It's available on hulu.

Re: V

Apparently, you have never been to Tijuana.  There was a stage show that had bi-pedal lizards breeding with humans…or was that a donkey?  Damn tequila

Re: V

Much better than the original, but of course technology has progressed a lot since then.

Just hope it continues to impress.

Re: V
Really enjoyed it definitely worth a watch but comeon that head V woman is creepy as fuck and not remotely trustworthy.  Dunno why they all thought she was so fit... wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.

Has Thanksgiving messed up US TV scheduling?  I don't seem to be able to get new episodes of V and a couple of other US shows at the moment?

The website says that new episodes return in MARCH 2010! March! WTF??

Re: V

I don't think V is coming back till February. Not 100% sure about that, but I know it's going to be off for a while.
