Comments on: V Gets Great Ratings In Debut http://www.scificool.com/v-gets-great-ratings-in-deput/ No Anal Probing Involved Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:24:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: SciFiLover http://www.scificool.com/v-gets-great-ratings-in-deput/comment-page-2/#comment-7177 SciFiLover Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:47:57 +0000 http://www.scificool.com/?p=11147#comment-7177 If the first episode was anything to go by, this incarnation of V is going to be nothing short of lame. I really liked the original, and this is nothing like it, nor is it an even slightly worthy ‘reimagining’ as was Galactica (until it jumped the shark..) I found the initial episode rushed, trying to cram the whole driving force of the original miniseries into 1 45 min story. I know the original had longer episodes, but this was way too fast, going from arrival to resistance in 1 shot.. There was no time to get used to any of the characters before it is revealed that 2 of them are lizardy aliens.. Big deal, don't care.. The writers should have used the first few episodes to build up some kind of viewer tension, hinted at the aliens maybe being bad, then gradually revealing more of the insidious plot. As it is, when the episode finished, I had complete apathy.. As for the “V’s” references, oh god... If anyone had watched the original, V wasn’t a cute nickname for Visitors, it was for Victory..

I think the show has great potential but they have a long way to go to match the original.
