Post by: kilo2 on November 03, 2009, 08:00:47 PM
Awesome is my first thought. I liked the first one and this seems good but it is only the first episode.

Eh....watched it, found it boring.  It sure isn't BSG

I did, however, enjoy watching the re-run original on the ScyFy channel!  I forgot how lame an ending it had!!

I like it better than BSG so far. Couldn't stand all that "soap opera" mystery. Starback dies,she reapears,she's the best pilot,she the best sniper, she's a cylon, maybe she's not. Some drunk old fart humping cylon,flashback.....he's 25 but no make up in the world can make him look 25, he still looks like an old fart. Then terrorist becomes vice president, cancer, no cancer, lotsa cancer. Ridiculous.

Old BSG was like watching westerns (good stuff). New BSG started out good but after they settled on the planet and then reformed to jump away... sucked after that.

V will be good for anyone that didnt see it the first time around.

I liked it overall. However, my fear is that the writers from a defunct soap opera will take over.

What I liked best was the ending and how they tracked terrorists cells and then intend to blend that into a resistance movement. Further I enjoyed the part of the priest and his warnings of devotion. Then in the end the Woman FBI agent said we are up against the worst weapon, devotion. Overall very well thought out.

What I didn't like was the teenager arguing with mom and how the ex is shallow. That is soapish but, somewhat relevant. Maybe a little anyway. There were two parts I just zapped through on my DVR. The teenager part a couple of times. It gets old. I did however paused it for the teenage girl friend/lizard.

If I had a hope, I was hoping that it wouldn't be the lizard people again. Why not bird people, bear people, bug people, or just something new entirely.

Like I said overall I liked it and will record the series.

The V chick is uber hot.  One can only hope it will be successful and eventually make it to the theaters with a PG-13 rating...you know, for the uber hot v chick to lose the top.   :x

ya know, im 19 and the original v was better than this... for the first half of the 80s version they all thought that the visitors were awesome and then began to realize the problem... its annoying that we know from the start in this one what they really are...

I prefer the original series.

Nowadays the only thing they can do better is the special effects (like galactica did) but the acting and storyline is just garbage compared to what they used to do back in the days.

Today its always ridiculously exagerated violence, hormone crazed sex, crappy plotline designed to lead to violence and sex with special effects on top of it.

the preview I saw of V just screamed of it being a ripoff of Earth: Final Conflict (gene roddenberry series) using the V plot.. ugh.

Better be R rated if we want it for more than a minute or two.

american actors suck anymore. not a single one can act their way out of a wet paper bag with a knife.

i've been watching a lot of bbca........dr who was a good remade series. torchwood was another. british actors just seem soo much more convincing in their roles.

Loved the original but the new one seems like just a faint echo.  Nothing new and not as good.

The BBC is putting out some great Sci-Fi on a much smaller budget.  Not much good on American TV anymore.

If you get a chance, check out "Being Human" on BBC for a great storyline involving a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost trying to cohabitate amongst us. Very original writing, with a mix of drama and humor.  I caught the 1st season on BBC America one weekend and got hooked.

Old BSG > New BSG.  It tried to hard.

New BSG Season 1 and 2, was some of the best TV I've EVER seen.  It was an incredible space adventure.  After they were rescued from New Caprica in early Season 3, it turned from space adventure to space opera.  I think the series finished strong but most of season 3 was pure crap. 

As for V, it's pretty blase so far.
