dont like it. as an BSG orphan seems like any new crappy show would be for me. Well, this is not the case. They were talking about sleeper cells and stuff. Give me a cold sensation when I hear that, more when the ship was over nyc and somehow was like "watching" all over again. Despite that they asked before the show start "where were you on 9/11".

Now about the show, I think the original series was by far (the very first episode) better than this one. Well at least that show was when there werent (sleeper) cells of any kind, in real life, I mean. My bet is that will play with that all time this show might last. And of course, the original series was based on that. But I think I expect a lot more (of creativity I mean).

Cheap CGI all over the place and that fat annoying guy make me wonder why I finish to watch this pilot.

I liked it actually since I grew up watching the first one(yes I am old, lol) it had a lot of expectations but I was not disappointed. The ONLY issue I have with it so far is that it really transitioned pretty fast between the V's are are friends to now they are our enemies and there is a resistance in place. Other then that I am pretty happy with it and will continue to watch it and see how it is going to compare with the original.

yes I too grew up watching the first one and was expecting this to be abysmal, gladly it was pretty good. I think that they could have waited till the second or third episode to reveal the vistors identity but apart from that I liked it.

As for anyone that complains about the CGI, dont watch it in hi def as its the story that's it important although the ships are cool :)

I'll tell ya, I wasn't really getting my hopes up for this one but I was very impressed. Much, much better than I thought it would ever be.

I do miss Diana though, even though Anna is that same character (and seriously creepy looking with that constant smile!)

I certainly hope at some point in the season that Marc Singer can get a cameo in there, hell maybe even Robert Englund :D

And I'm pretty sure Supergirl will turn out to be one of the goodie two shoes V's, just like in the original series. Which is good, cuz that probably means she'll sleep with that lucky sob teenager moron.

You know I was surprised that they did the reveal so quickly but after thinking about it, it make sense. After all, we all know they are not human. The original took a while to do the reveal because that was a big part of the suspense. But now if they went the first season trying to find out that they are lizards, everyone would be thinking, but we already know that. I guess it is kind of like if they did another Lost in a few years and they started the show with what is dharma, then it would fail because we know all about dharma already.

They ordered 13 episodes but only made 5 and then shut down production

I think after the first 5 episodes they are taking an hiatus till 2010 sometimes before they start airing the rest, I think I read somewhere that they do plan to continue past the first season since it captured the #1 spot for ratings and has a huge fan base.

Huge fan base? It got a decent start with 14 million viewers, but that's hardly huge. It also didn't get the #1 spot either.

8 p.m.

CBS: "NCIS" (19.4 million viewers, 11.7/18 households)

ABC: "V" series premiere (13.9 million, 8.5/13)

NBC: "The Biggest Loser" (8.5 million, 5.3/8)

FOX: "So You Think You Can Dance" (6.4 million, 4.0/6)

The CW: "90210" (2.1 million, 1.5/2)

NCIS beat it by 5.5 million more viewers.

After finally getting to see the premiere, I have a feeling that number may drop next week. I say 10 to 11 million viewers, if that much.

Yeah it won't keep 14m viewers it will go to around 10m like Hurmoth said maybe even 9m, every premiere of a show usually does well especially the hype around it.

Don't get me wrong. I sort of enjoyed the first episode. Sort of like FlashForward, I'm still torn. It could be a good show, but then it could also go bad. I think there's a big chance though that regardless, it will lose a lot of viewers between the first and second episode.

I know a lot of people who love Fringe, but what they decided to do was ignore it the first season and see how people liked it and then rent the DVD/Blu-ray and watch the first season in one shot.

It kills the ratings and people don't pay attention to that, they simply don't care. I have a DVR and tend to record everything and then watch a few episodes at once. I didn't have anything better to do this time, so I went ahead and watched V's first episode. It was decent, but I'm going to keep watching to find out whether or not I will continue with it.

That's the drawing power that is Jethro Gibbs

Count me in as one of those NCIS watchers. Although I did watch V the next day. Glad I went the way I did too. I did enjoy it, but I really don't see it bringing anything to the table that the original didn't. I think I'd have much preferred an Alien Nation re-imagining.
