I find it interesting and I find it maddening, that after alllll the advertising bombardments for this show, at the last minute they change the air time from 7pm central to friggin Midnight!!!! Then they say, "Don't worry, we will air it again," also, AT MIDNIGHT!!!! It's a conspiracy I tell you!!!! :cursing:
 
Wow...they're only going air 4 episodes and then the rest of the season in March. ABC really doesn't want this show to succeed.
 
Again - IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!!! The first episode was really good...gotta say, the commercials were brutal, though. I think out of the whole hour, maybe 30 minutes of it was actual show time. ABC are a bunch of hacks man - they screw up everything.
 
Yeah, ABC sucks hard. Pretty much the only show of their's I'm willing to follow is Lost and that is usually watching it online through Hulu or Netflix.

Anyone remember the original V series from 1984? :)

I was going to tell Bonefrag not to waste his time. I've seen the whole series and it was rather shameful. But that was the 1984 series that caused me to throw up in my mouth a little. I can remember thinking the original BSG was rather campy and how shocked I was that Ron Moore was bothering to resurrect it's fail. However, that redoing turned out awesome (Adama manuever anyone?). So there is a chance, albeit slight, that this V-series won't be like Frisky Dingo sapping your dispenser. Because that my friends, is a miserable experience.
 
i used to watch it back in the 80s... but i was a little kid. so only remember that it freaked me out...
i wanted to watch this series... but i missed the pilot episode... so have the rest of it set to record and can hopefully find a re-air of the pilot

dont' have anything to say about it yet, as i haven't watched it.. but after seeing Mr. Pessimism (ie: Idol) say it looks good, man i can't wait!

speaking of 1984, sometimes 3 is 4
 
Again, it was a good pilot...I just don't like having to stay up until 1AM to watch it.

Thats why dvr's are awesome! I work nights, get home in am and hit play! thought the pilot was good but thought the plot moved along too quickly, hopefully the rest of the episodes build a little more depth.

I watched the series back in the 80's and like it. Back then it was something different. That'shen space exploration and ET'S was the hot topic. I seen the remake ( BTW Shout out to foxhound-KD- for the heads up on the show ) and I was impressed. I liked it. The show came on at 7pm my time (alaskan time) and all went well. I have to agree with my comrades about the commercials, but this is why I always watch pay channels. However guys, give ABC some slack, at least they aired it on free tv, it had some awesum special effects, and at least they didnt try to make a moive out of it. It does suck that they are only airing 4 episodes, then the rest in spring, but I read sumwhere they only started shooting in Aug. That's a great feat to shoot 4 shows in 2.5 months. Overall I like it and look forward to seeing the rest. A blast from the past is what I call it, brings back fond memories. LOL in 1984 I was 14, and I remember the org. well.

*You can go to ABC's web site and watch it there anytime if you missed it or want to see it again.

Dude, give me a break! It came out like four years before I was born. I have trouble enough keeping up with today's programing let alone something that came out 25 years ago.
 
Rhellick, I didn't say it was good. I said it might be good. My point was the original BSG was campy but the redo was all good. Therefore, although the original V was meh, the redo might be better. And I really don't appreciate you suggesting that I might actually like something. I have a reputation to uphold.

QQ Shoulda been born earlier then. I mean really, don't go around blaming others for your own tardiness :P

Yes! I saw "V"! Its an amazing show. I cant wait for the second episode, the plot is great, the actors are great, and the story is just plain awesomeness.

yeah i was like 11 or 12 and it was kinda creepy/cool the whole thing about the "visitors" being reptilian and not being able to tell from their looks on the outside.

ok, but just this once, the show had the BEASTMASTER and Mr. Freddy Krueger himself on the original, they just have to make some cameos!

wow, who remembers the beastmaster?!
