V TV series

[Khalil]

The reporter guy kept freaking me out. Anyone else thinks he has a resemblance to Michael J. Fox.

I thought it was at first, lol.

Good show, hope it doesn't get canned like other shows >_>

[fishstix]

haha yeah I saw the resemblance, but I knew him from party of 5 ~

was looking around imdb and from the original series trivia:
"On 30 October 1982, Dominique Dunne, who had been signed to play the role of Robin Maxwell, was at her house with co-star David Packer going over lines for the next day's filming, when her boyfriend John Sweeny arrived unexpectedly and throttled Dunne into a coma. Five Days later, on 4 November 1982, Dunne died. Blair Tefkin was cast to replace Dunne as Robin and all of the scenes that had been shot with the late actress were re-filmed. According to the DVD commentary, however, Dunne is still visible from the back in one group scene that occurs as the Visitors arrive on earth."

Maybe he thought she was a V.

I wonder how long the V's had the body. Can anybody that saw the original confirm this? Or did they recently acquire the bodies and kill off all the relatives so nobody can say, "Hey, the leader of the Vs is my daughter!".

All they have is the skin, so the faces are all unique. They don't look like any specific earth person. If anything they'd look like the lizard, with a human coating.

The proper is out on megavideo, and thus on ninjavideo.

I thought it was ok. Need to see a few more episodes though before I know for sure.

Well I hope it delivers because I stopped caring for flash forward once it started getting into the investigation shit.

Ugh, this.

I love V so far. I hope it lasts a while.

Odd watching Alpha from Dollhouse as a normal guy in this

edit: ok yeah I posted that while i was only half way through the show lol

Not anymore haha

I don't see how you could think this was slow, if anything it was too fast. No suspense or build-up just boom, episode one our main characters already know the Vs have an evil agenda.

I liked it but I also thought this. There was no mystery involved, they pretty much answered so much in the first episode... so now they prepare for a war or something. I enjoyed it none-the-less, just don't see why they had to explain everything so fast unless its intended to only be a mini-series

The way I saw it, since its a new series half the shit was already spoiled. I never saw the original but I already knew what the Vs were because of people talking about it. So there wouldn't have been a real "shocking" revelation to 70% of the audience watching. Just drawn out episodes.

Makes sense when you put it that way, but most new-age remakes add new sub-plots / stories and stuff? So i don't expect it to be a pure remake, just based off the original... so looking forward to new ideas they adding to it

[Deftscythe]

We already knew the Vs have an agenda and they're actually reptiles, but the characters didn't. I would've appreciated at least a few episodes of dramatic tension before everyone is in on it, especially if they showed the audience Wash was a V(like what happened with Charlie on Fringe for fans of that show). There's only 4 episodes before they break until freaking March, why not make that episode the "reveal?"

As said though, although a remake they will most likely try to add their own twist and branch off from being a straight remake. Having the characters be surprised is a lot less important then having the viewers be surprised. Rather then stringing us along with something we already know, might as well get that out of the way and hit us with something we don't.

Personally I liked the pacing and would've been one of those bitching if they hadn't made the revelation quickly.

...that's fucking retarded. USA did that with The 4400--where they took 7+ month breaks after every handful of episodes and everyone just said fuck it and stopped watching.

Wow, completely missed this post, that really sucks. I'm going to forget about this show before it even returns.

Lost is doing the same thing because of the Olympics.

[Dezzimal]

Its good, though the line where they said "You mean they want to provide UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE" made me facepalm, it felt like a line they added in to make sure their show was super topical. I also yelled when Wash died.

[Scythiroth]

It is, but didn't start in November. And, this is probably going to make me sound bad, but does the Winter Olympics really last from January/February all the way until March? I thought it was just going to be a week or two. >.> Never really paid attention to them before.

[Eticket]

2+ weeks in February (12th-28th)

So how are they spinning her partner thing. Was he a V all along or did he take over the body when she went inside the warehouse.
