TV Series V

[Hans Tucker]

Anyone else getting into the new TV series 'V'...what did you think of the premier last Sunday night.

I was a fan of the 80's series and have been looking forward to this remake...so far I am hooked.:P

[that_guy]

i dont like it... it doesnt have the sci fi feel to it unlike star trek or starwars..
But i'll watch it anyway cause it IS sci fi!! ;)

Hi Hans,

I missed the ending of the first episode but yes i'm waiting for the next one. I did enjoy the first lot way back. Hoping this one is better. And if she is typical of what they look like i'm in,Lol.:lol:

What you like someone with green slimey reptillian skin for a partner :rofl::P in this case I think beauty is skin deep going by the way the group fighting them work out they that new people are not V

Hi Warren,

They all put makeup on dont they,LOL.
WHOOPS !!!!!!!! Now i'm in trouble:P

[Matt Wastell]

I will give it a go - up to a point!

Anything with Morena Baccarin is automatically required watching.

I think they let the reptile bit slip too soon. There's at least 4 generations who have no knowledge of V. And to spoil such a fine plot device.......Tsk. Tsk.
The priest is, if not he worst actor in the world, his close realtion.
Morrena whats-her-name is devastating tho.'
No rats were eaten. :( Its the one memorable scene of the OS.
I liked the very post-modernist, self-referential bit of the two kids talking in a TV interview about plot plagiarism.
All in all, OK but no BSG. 5/10 so far.

Also!

I'm getting bored of seeing Vancouver and/or Toronto substituting for every other city in the world. I always see my old Uni. (The Quad at SFU, designed by Arthur Erikson. Its in most SG1s and a few BSGs) and twice I've seen two of my old apartments. One from the inside. I know, as I still own it and you can bet I didn't see a cent of per-diem from the guy who leases it. :) Have to up his rent this year! :D

Anyway. If water-guzzling aliens had landed in Vancouver, Mummy would have phoned.

I like it so far, seems to have potential, but not as good as the original series. Must admit, showing the reptile stuff so early was a bit of a let down, the previous series, as I recall, you had to wait some time for this to come out!

Apparently there are only 4 episodes so far, more later in the year.

As for Vancouver, I am waiting to see Gas Town....

I was also a fan of the first series :thumbsup:
The premier Sunday night was OK ..... i had been really looking forward to it, but it didnt grab me.
Will certainly watch a few and see how it goes.
Also willing to watch a few more of SGU if ever it comes back on TV??

I liked it to a point but they let out too much in the first episode, not just reptile.

[WarpSpider74]

Is a bit "meh." Not as good as the original series, and certainly not on a par with the BSG remake.

[Rokketboy]

I've watched the first 4 episodes (thanks uncle torrent) and so far I would say "meh".
Not bad, not good, just ok.
I agree they reveal the whole reptile thing way to early. Anyone who saw the original knows what the deal is but there would many who wouldn't know the aliens dirty little secret. Strange choice, but oh well.

[rogerg]

I agree with the "meh" comments.

I thought it might have good prospects, but ended up saying to my wife at the end "I think I've seen this story before haven't I?" because it was all so "recipe based", same old same old. And it turned out to be more violence and conflict than I feel like having my head filled with in my free time right now :)

[starlooker]

I loved it...because Morena Baccarin is in it. :D

Hubba bubba ding dong!

[supernova1965]

HA HA you have gotten away with it ATM wonder how long that will last:scared3:

[TrevorW]

I got bored with it in the first 10 minutes

[duncan]

Hey Warren,
Next day still going strong. Glad i'm not fishing,LOL!!!
Cheers:thumbsup:

[supernova1965]

Yeah no bites to be had:rofl:

[Liz]

Actually enjoyed last nights episode more than last weeks :) .... may be OK after all. :rolleyes:

[iceman]

I'm enjoying it, but I wonder how long it will last. My wife commented that she's already getting a bit sick of it.

Some of it is all a bit *too* convenient (eg: the recording of the payphone).

[starlooker]

Another great ep. :thumbsup:

The two blonde leads(fbi agent + priest) look like they belong on the Bold & The Beautiful.

[Astrobserver99]

I read the book when it first came out... The first episode lived up to expectations...I will definitely watch the next one.

[chris1964]

I downloaded all 4 episodes a couple of weeks ago and I'm hooked. Apparently the next episode is not available until the end of March - can't wait

[Matt Wastell]

Something about doing the wild thing with a giant reptile in a human skin suit that makes my blood run cold....oh, maybe I am a V!
I will give it another 10 minutes next week!

[starlooker]

So is anyone still watching this show? I am! :D

I would have loved to see the traitor V getting skinned, to see the lizard underneath. Would love to see a V eating something too - a rat would be nice. Right now, they look and act human, even amongst each other. You'd think aliens would have different mannerisms and collective behaviour.

Also would like to see less intimacy between the black couple. Too much close up of kissing and cuddling and pillow talk. I know that they're the only couple on the show, but really, I don't need to see that stuff in high definition. :P Maybe more between Tyler and Lisa. ;)

Nobody on the show seems to be concerned about how easy it is for the Vs to pass off as a human, and therefore infiltrate governments and organisations.

That's enough from me. Would love to hear people's reason for hanging on to, or dropping off the show.
