I love the wide range of actors from The 4400 (Joel Gretsch), Stargate SG-1/Stargate: The Ark of Truth (Morena Baccarin), Smallville (Laura Vandervoort), and Firefly/Serenity (Alan Tudyk + Morena Baccarin). Can't forget Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost.

oh yeah forgot about her :D

They dived pretty deep into the plot in the first hour. More than I thought they would. The original eased into the story a little more. But that was back when you could captivate the audience with space ship special effects a lot longer than you could with todays audience.

I loved the Independence Day reference. It was spot on, because I remember when I saw the first movie trailer for ID I thought it was a "V" movie.

oh yeah forgot about her :D

I didn't. She was the main reason I decided to give this show a try as the advertising didn't really pull me in :rofl:

I think it was very good. I'm just not sure how long it can last. We'll see how they make it work.

these sort of shows can finish in one season if the ratings are poor so I hope we can have 2 or 3 seasons

That's what I didn't like about this. There's another 12 episodes to come and they've already rushed a significant part into the start of the story. I hope this doesn't mean endless resistance raids for two thirds of the series. That'll get old fast.

I won't judge a show on the first episode, and it's easier to do that when it's a remake. I loved the original mini-series (apart from the ending) and I knew this would be a re-imagining so it wouldn't have the "80's" flavour. I'm neutral on it right now. Not overly impressed but not overly disappointed either.

It was alright.

I was expecting something amazing based on what I've heard in previews about this being "movie quality"... movie quality it is not. Shows like House and FlashForward have far better directing and sets. This one just seemed fairly cheap, to be honest.

But the show itself was alright. It seemed like they tried to cram a TON of stuff in, though, and I was amazed at how quickly they got to this big "reveal" in just one episode.

Hope the other episodes aren't crammed like this one.

'V' arrives with 14 million viewers

V made a decent start for ABC last night, early viewing figures show.

The 8pm screening of the series opener, which stars Elizabeth Mitchell, Morena Baccarin and Joel Gretsch, pulled in an impressive 13.95m, making it the biggest scripted series premiere rating for a freshman show this Fall.

Post-V, Dancing With The Stars and The Forgotten logged 14.48m and 8.02m at 9pm and 10pm respectively.

Over on CBS, 19.39m tuned in for NCIS at 8pm, then spinoff series NCIS: Los Angeles drew 15.01m during the 9pm hour. At 10pm, 7.62m watched The Good Wife.

The Biggest Loser averaged 9.02m for NBC over its two-hour period from 8pm, before The Jay Leno Show had 6.53m at 10pm.

90210 and Melrose Place took 2.07m and 1.48m at 8pm and 9pm respectively for The CW.

Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, which aired between 8pm and 10pm, interested 6.08m.

Pretty good eps 1. Only thing i didn't like was at the first bit when they hoving over the cities and that lady speaks to everyone.. just looked soo "lol" :p

But other then that, looks very good, some nice kills/action :D

these sort of shows can finish in one season if the ratings are poor so I hope we can have 2 or 3 seasons

I was talking about the story. They already had so much, I don't know what they can do to keep it going past one season. Ratings-wise, I don't think they'll have a problem.

    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
