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 something you want to precede your new show.

I saw the V pilot at Comic Con, and I liked it. I didn’t love it, mind you, but I thought there was a lot of potential there. The final few minutes could use a little punch-up, make the V’s more threatening, but overall I found it intriguing enough that I’m jonesing to see another episode. I didn’t think Elizabeth Mitchell would be convincing as the female lead, but I gotta admit, she’s really good.

The show premieres in November later this year. Until then, though, here are two clips from the pilot that showed up on YouTube.
