The story is moving quickly, but I like that -- I just hate the weird way they are going to run the series -- 4 episodes and then a hiatus until March. Seems weird.

I loved this show. So much so, I've watched it twice -- I missed a few things the first time around because I was multitasking. So different from my
feelings for FlashForward -- which showed so much promise.

The only wink link is that Party of Five guy as the newscaster. Terrible casting. I can't imagine him as one of the nation's top newsmen at all. He doesn't have the deep newsman voice.I thought this at first too, but now I'm thinking differently. I can't see him as a top newsman, but I can see him as the anchor on one of those "fluffy" morning talk shows. Especially with the stupid comments about how good-looking the Visitors are. I see him as a light-weight who really wants to be in the Major Leagues. Wouldn't a guy like that be much more willing to sell his soul in order to break into major newcasting? I liked it. I'm glad they didn't try to draw out the suspense, since everyone already knew the basics: they are lizards, and they are bad. |

My biggest problem with the show was that no one on Earth for the month that the Vistors had been there thought "Hmmm, do you think maybe they sent a
scouting party ahead to find out all about us?"

I am coming out of lurkdom to say how much I loved this show. I want to see it again. I cannot think of the last time I felt that way about a tv show, probably
early Survivor seasons.
I was a huge fan of the original V and loved how this show was so different while keeping the basic premise of the old show. I liked the pace too- no dilly-dallying around about the true nature and intention of the visitors. Does anyone recall if The V's could disguise themselves as family pets in the old series? I think I'd like to see that. I felt there was chemistry between Erica and the priest. My quibbles- the applause by the crowd seemed wrong and the younger priest not being able to believe that God could have created aliens. I did grow up Catholic and I seem to recall being taught that humans were unique and there were no others like us so perhaps that is it. Still, the older priest/Vatican accepted it tho there did seem to be an element of opportunism in that. |

I'm just chiming in to say that I liked this, too (hello, fellow LOSTies!). My husband kept saying it was moving way too fast but I don't think that
bothered me too much. I thought they might drag it out a bit to keep people in suspense but I guess they may have lost some viewers if that happened because
people get bored too easily nowadays.
Also, Firefly rocked. That is all. :op |

My son was sulking because I wanted to watch this last night. He thought it was going to be epically stupid. Until it actually came on. Then he was glued to
the TV.
The opening was certainly a LOST rip off. Right down to Elizabeth Mitchell's pupils. And it did move very fast. I had to explain a lot of what was going on to my son. But, it was very good. Look forward to new epis. |

Thanks for the answer and the clip, Cookie.
I'd love to see some of the smaller V's disguise themselves as stray dogs that get taken in/adopted and infiltrate people's homes that way. The resistance probably would be suspicious of people but not pets. |

STELLAR PREMIERE FOR 'V' 5.0 demo rating makes it the highest-rated debut of the fall season. |

WOW. Good job V. I can't find it on ABC or Hulu. Pfft.

WOW! I was always going to watch this. ABC might want to rethink that hiatus if it manages to maintain those numbers.
