Rob2687 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 w00t. Great show. At least the part that I saw.. Morena Baccarin's character is super ominously creepy.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted November 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2009 Awesome! The "pilot" was superb. I used to watch the original V series on and off as a kid. It's kinda nice to see a remake made so many years later.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted November 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2009 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. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/727990-v-season-1/page/6/#findComment-591799270 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrack Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 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.

bob_loblaw Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I was actually excited to see this show after seeing some of the promos. And it did not disappoint (so far). The only character I don't like is the son of the FBI. I would definitely tune in. Tuesdays are such a bore this season, thank god for this.

gigapixels Veteran Posted November 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2009 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. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/727990-v-season-1/page/6/#findComment-591799794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

protocol7 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 They dived pretty deep into the plot in the first hour. More than I thought they would. 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.

Ayepecks Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 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.

gigapixels Veteran Posted November 4, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2009 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.
