The Cast Of V Speak

Now that “V” seems to be off to a good start ratings wise I can stop stressing out and settle in to a possibly full season of lizards in disguise. 14 million viewers is a good number, it works. There will be a bit of a drop off probably since 14 million is a hard number to sustain but I’m...

V Gets Great Ratings In Debut

Well, well. “V”, our next Sci-Fi obsession, did very well in the ratings last night. How about 14 million viewers? How does that grab you? It was the second highest rated debut this season behind NCIS: LA. I’m surprised frankly. Since I really liked the show, I’m surprised and...

Man, what is going on over at ABC’s “V”? First there were all those rumors of delays, network unhappiness with the episodes that have been produced so far (resulting in rewrites and reshoots), and now word is that “Chuck” veteran Scott Rosenbaum has moved over to “V”...

Anna and her Visitor buddies are about to touch down tonight on ABC (in case you missed the gazillion commercials on TV last night), and this is your open discussion thread to talk about the pilot. Did you love it? Hate it? Somewhere in-between? I saw a version of the pilot a while back in San Diego...

ABC Gets Smart About Terrorizing New Yorkers And Celebrates With A “V” Music Video

ABC was going to advertise the upcoming premiere of their re-booted, re-imagined, lizard loving Sci-Fi epic “V”, with big ass red Vs cunningly displayed over major New York and Washington landmarks. That is until someone re-thought this idea, or maybe perhaps thought at all. So instead producers...

Preview The First 7 Minutes Of ABC’S V

Now that Flash Forward is causing me some intestinal discomfort, I will turn my attentions to the next big network Sci-Fi effort called “V”. You probably know the story by now. It’s a re-imaging of the 80’s camp fest where mammal nibbling lizard people, clad in human skin, clamp...

V To Scare The Crap Out Of Non Sci-Fi City Dwellers

ABC’s “V” has seen it’s share of turmoil and strife. It’s been put on creative hiatus and been reduced to a mini series with a possible series expansion next year. ABC perhaps has some renewed confidence in the show, because they are about to promote V in a very unusual...

Latest V Poster Teases with Anna

The latest poster for ABC’s new “V” show shows off a side of Anna (played by Morena Baccarin) that is, shall we say, a tad reptilian. The show will air as a four-hour mini-series event on November 3, 2009, before turning as a series in March 2010. Or at least, that’s the current...

V Character Intro Video Showcases Evil Anna

“V”, currently slated to run a few episodes starting Nov 3rd and then resuming play next year, looks good to me. Many of the actors like Elizabeth Mitchell and Scott Wolf are known to have talent. How can a story about mammal, possibly human chewing, mankind enslaving lizard people be bad?...

Day One and V to Premiere as 4-Hour Mini-Series Events

It seems a lot of major decisions have been made in regards to two highly anticipated sci-fi shows. Variety reports that NBC has decided to air Jesse Alexander’s Day One as a 4-hour mini-series event instead of a full-blown 13-episode season, as originally planned. Something similar is happening...

Two Sneak Peek Clips at the New V Pilot

You can’t help but wonder if ABC is screwing the pooch with their new V show. The network seems to think the show needs “fixing”, and the Interwebs is already abuzz with news of creative delays. This is not good. Bad word of mouth created by conjecture before the show even airs is not...

ABC’s Alien Invasion Show V To Be Further Delayed

ABC has decided to extend “V” ’s hiatus from two to six weeks to try and fix something that has obviously gone dreadfully wrong with the story of aliens that look like supermodels on the outside, but will reveal darker, rat chomping, possibly human munching, Earth enslaving inner bits. My...

Kenneth Johnson Wins Arbitration Against ABC for V Credits

After seeing the V pilot at Comic-Con, I’ve been looking forward to the show ever since, but man, I’m really not liking how ABC and their parent company Warner Bros. is trying to screw over original creator Kenneth Johnson in regards to properly crediting him on the show. WTF, ABC? Stop being...

ABC’s V Takes A Creative Hiatus

The upcoming ABC Sci-Fi series “V’, starring Elizabeth Mitchell and Scott Wolf has been shut down for two weeks for a “creative hiatus”. Shouldn’t affect the series premiere on Nov 3rd, or so they say. “V” is a remake of the 1984 series about lizardy aliens from...

New V Premiere Scheduled for November 3, 2009

I’ve already reviewed the V pilot when it was shown at Comic Con, and I’ve already made it clear that while I went into the show expecting something mediocre, I instead found myself riveted and after the screening, wanting desperately to see more. Endy already wrote about the show’s...

Tidbits Of News From Sci-Fi Land

Here’s some little bits and pieces of news that are cool and interesting but that I can’t muster the early Sunday will to write a whole post about. V is back. V was on in the 80’s and was about lizard aliens from beyond that thought we were tasty. It has a premiere date. It’s...

TV Review: New V Pilot (Comic-Con ‘09)

They’re heeeeeere. Er, again. Yep, they’re back — those scaly, duplicitous aliens with promises of a better future, hope, and of course, friendship. As the old saying goes, when it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Especially when they just appear in mile-wide spaceships above...
