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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
