V

Okay, who watched it and what did you think? Personally I thought it was very well done, though there were a few stumbles here and there. Either way, much better than the original.

Anyone know if there's been a scheduling change

Has Thanksgiving messed up US TV scheduling?  I don't seem to be able to get new episodes of V and a couple of other US shows at the moment?

Holiday break

I don't think V is coming back till February. Not 100% sure about that, but I know it's going to be off for a while.

The last new episode we got was on 11/24

You can watch it here: http://abc.go.com/shows/v/episode-guide/its-only-the-beginning/341377

 

The website says that new episodes return in MARCH 2010! March! WTF??

Go Steelers! Go Dawgs!


Word is...

that they are taking a break over the holidays and then trying to avoid having to compete with the olympics for viewers.

I just got round to watching it

RohiPnol's picture
Really enjoyed it definitely worth a watch but comeon that head V woman is creepy as fuck and not remotely trustworthy.  Dunno why they all thought she was so fit... wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.

I had to go look her up

Beth_Ailis's picture

She's the same actress that was in Firefly and Serenity. Totally different look. 

Go Steelers! Go Dawgs!


It's the eyes

RohiPnol's picture
creepy creepy creepy... they look like they would blink upwards ... you reckon that might be how she got the part?

OMG! You're right!

belladonna420's picture

I knew she looked familiar!!!!!!!!

Much better than the original

Much better than the original, but of course technology has progressed a lot since then.

Just hope it continues to impress.


Finally watched it...

...and I dug it!

I expected it to suck but they did a really good job setting up the story.  Some things seemed a bit rushed and I wish they would have had the time to flesh a few more aspects, but it still really well done.  Hope it continues to be good.


Bonefire night

Indie slayer's picture

What a movie to watch on bonefire nite, with a few ppl talking about it on here i am gonna put it on when i get home from work 2nite.

Yer it is a really good film like how they have taken Alan moore grathic novel an brought it into the 21st century. Altho i havent finished it, only read the 1st part an i havnt come across any lizard men??? i no its not in the film, so i am wondering what thats all about.


Are you thinking of...

Shadygirl's picture
V for Vendetta? The lizard men folks are talking about are from the remake of the old TV show V, alien visitors and all that.

Indie slayer confused me too.

But now it makes more sense if that's what he was referring to.

Nice!

I'd love to see them.

I posted this in the Random thread, but here's a link to some other pics from the party I went to, if you're interested.

Cool!

Shadygirl's picture
Looks like it was a blast. I need to get my pics on the computer. Little CB got sick the next day, so I have not taken the time to do anything with them yet. I promise I will get them up soon.

DVR not set.  FAIL.  Hoping ABC will stream it.

Me too

stumpmonkey's picture
I did the same thing.  It's available on hulu.

Watched it, Liked it

Beth_Ailis's picture

So far, so good. I remember the original quite fondly.

But I don't think the plot is going to hold up to much scrutiny -- suspend disbelief now and just go with the flow. 

 

Go Steelers! Go Dawgs!


I enjoyed it...

SynapticJam's picture

It was entertaining.  It did make me nostalgic for the olden days when these shows were cool just cause they were...

Loved it!

scottsigler's picture

I really enjoyed it. They got things moving fast with allusions to past events, and time-truncating the V's arrival (they are here, one commercial break later, they've been here for three weeks). It was tricky storytelling and the writers did a good job with it.

However, I have to brace myself to deal with two things: 1) the scientific idiocy of bi-pedal "lizard men" from another planet that have our same body plan save for green skin and big eyes, and 2)  the even more absurd concept that "lizard men" can just go ahead and breed with humans. Sure, we can't even breed with Earth reptiles, let alone "reptile men" from another frickin' planet.

 


Bi-ped lizard humping!

stumpmonkey's picture

Apparently, you have never been to Tijuana.  There was a stage show that had bi-pedal lizards breeding with humans…or was that a donkey?  Damn tequila


Wait, what?

PerfectDayForDying's picture

When was there any mention of breeding? Don't tell me I missed something important because I left the room and forgot that modern technology lets me pause my TV again.

Breeding?

Beth_Ailis's picture

Well, I don't remember that from the pilot. And we were watching DVR, so I don't think I missed anything important like that. Perhaps the FDO has knowledge that we are not privy to yet.

 

Go Steelers! Go Dawgs!


Breeding...

Gmork's picture
I think the FDO is referencing the events of the original series.  I remember the "birthing scene" vividly. It was disgusting by 1980's standards. Mild by today's standards.

I DVR'd it

belladonna420's picture

but haven't watch it yet.  I plan to tonight.
