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.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
