Anyone watch the pilot? It had Wash and Inara from Firefly... It was ok I guess, a couple of big changes from the old miniseries...

We Tivo'd it. We'll watch on Thursday when we watch Flashforward.

The previews look pretty good. The music in the previews is awesome. So I have high expectations. I think Elizabeth Mitchell is good casting. She reminds me of the original. And I don't like "Inara's" hair so short.

Mr. Chelle's warcrap raid ended early so we watched V.

I am definitely intrigued. Casting was very good. And some of the reveals shocked me.

I still have V-TOS on video tape (I am so cool - aren't I?) so I should have seen a bunch of those coming. They are setting up a lot of good conflict - Erica and her son, the two priests, the "traitors" and everyone...

Morena plays that part really well. And all of her well known characters (Inara, Adria, and Anna) are each very distinct.

The address being 4400 was a good inside joke too.

And Dekker - the reporter - he's so cute.

MrhAS watched it, I didn't. He said it was REALLY rushed. He seemed to think they were trying to cram a lot into that hour.

[Lan]

Yeah, it was kinda rushed.

Lourdes Benedicto is very good looking too, she's a good actress. They didn't show her off much in last nights episode. But she was the one who found the engagement ring.

I really like Elizabeth Mitchell. I think she was good casting for that part.

V became the highest rated sci-fi premiere of the new fall TV season after 13.9 million people watched the pilot episode last night, according to preliminary ratings. That number is still subject to some change, but it looks likely that this will be the biggest show to debut at 8 p.m. since another ABC sci-fi series, Lost.

To put that in perspective, FlashForward was (until now) considered the hit of the season after 12.4 million people watched its first episode. The ratings for V are likely to grow substantially once DVR viewership is added in, since sci-fi shows tend to benefit (or suffer?) most from DVR viewing.

For instance, the FlashForward premiere added nearly 2 million viewers after DVR viewing was accounted for. ABC had planned to give V an indeterminate break after running just the first four episodes, but this will likely make them determine a return date ASAP, which is good news for those who liked the show.

Wow, reader comments are ripping!

The news reports I read were all favorable too.

I hope they can maintain the moment.

But please, let's hope no one decides to reboot Alien Nation! :fear:

Alien Nation, the movie, had a nice premise that was used again in District 9. Alien Nation, the tv series, was utter drek.

According to what I read they are keeping the original schedule.

Four episodes and then they go on hiatus because of production kafuffles ages ago.

The last 9 episodes to air after the Olympics.

People are going to think it's been cancelled and wander off.

in light of it going off the air after 4 eps, they should. to that.

[Guy Gardener]

Just a guess mind you, but since the political inference from the shows pilot which demanded retooling of the entire series was that if the Visitors came across too much like the Obama Administration, that renaming the show W would levy any criticisms about comparative leadership towards a less popular President.

[chelle73]

Anyone still watching?

Last nights episode was off to a rough start but I liked all of the loose ends they left.

Is Anna really her mother - or is their "family" structure different.

And Alan Tudyk's last scenes completely surprised me, I really liked that twist. I was not shocked that the V's set up the shooter situation, not at all but it still played well.

[Lan]

Yeah, I watched the last half of it. It's ok, but it's missing something...

[Tibbetts]

I DVR'd it. Probably watch it on Thursday. :D

:giggle: I had those thoughts when the Vistors were talking about their plans! LOL!

I've watched the first two, gonna watch the 3rd tonight. I've liked it so far. I was disappointed about the actor who played Firefly's Wash, though. So far, the rest of the casting is good.
