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.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • 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.
    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
