Is it just me, or is something up with the sound? Maybe its just my cable provider, but some points it seems like the people are just mouthing the words, yet music remains at normal volume :lol

 

[Shard]

I am hoping this terrorism subplot has an actual connection to the actual plot.

 

[Costanza]

Any issues with this that I have are alleviated by the fact that it's a fucking pilot. They've gotta move fast, cover a lot of ground and get people hooked by the end. I'm sure the next episodes will be slowed down and develop the characters more (though they're already better than anyone on FF)

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Am I gonna get to see Inara with a tail?

 

[The Elite]

And to the blackout.

Oh wait, wrong show.

Some of the best pilots I've seen take their sweet time. I don't mind putting in a little extra to get people hooked but this is far too rushed. Why did they start calling the visitors Vs? Why were the governments of the world so quick to setup something like an ambassador program? The first landing of the Visitors should have been a bigger event (original had the Star Wars theme playing :lol ). Setup the fucking majesty of FIRST CONTACT and that should get people hooked enough.

Maybe the terrorist group will eventually become the resistance.

 

[gdt]

I too think they are moving too fast.

Though I imagine that's just because this is the Pilot.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Basically.

I think that was part of the show.

WTF? Why is my local station showing me election coverage? Show me V!!!!

The amount of CG in this show is amazing, and noticable.

 

[NumberTwo]

I'm just not finding a lot of this stuff to be all that plausible. It is moving way to quickly.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Man, you guys are making it hard to keep quiet =)

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Journalistic integrity > Need to get laid by an alien.

I know! freaking ABC Houston.

[esbern]

wow i just realized main alien chick is the hooker from firefly

 

[ryan-ts]

That'd be sweet if the entire series ended after 5 episodes.

 

[The Elite]

Yup, I think the real problem I'm having here is that FIRST CONTACT with an alien species is so matter-of-fact. Besides being rushed, these characters are not acting in a realistic manner.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

What the fuck, who would volunteer to have their skull cut open?

The first landing didn't have the Star Wars theme. That was when one of the first ships was coming down bringing workers down to a factory. It was a welcoming of them. The first landing was different in the original series.

 

[Shard]

Maybe a blood test would be quicker.

 

[Vyer]

I like the cuts between the resistance meeting and the interview

 

[The Elite]

Holy shit, they've already setup the resistance cell storyline?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Is there gonna be an encore? I only caught the last 10 minutes of it, but I loved the original. I don't remember anyone mentioning the reptilian skin this early in the original. PEACE.

 

[SuperPac]

Shit's getting real. Some interesting twists here even though the pilot is moving really fast.

 

[Archaix]

"If you could speak to the protesters, what would you say?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, there are protesters against us? Funny. You'd think they would have shown something like that on-screen"

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I really would've appreciated a suicide bomber get onto the V ship in this pilot. That would've elevated this pilot a lot. There is just no hostility outside of this gang scene playing right now. This is the most passive interpretation of mankind I've ever seen.

 

[esbern]

hahah 'universal health care'

 

[The Elite]

Shit, the last time I saw it was about 5 years ago. Thanks for the correction. I still remember it being a bigger deal.

 

[Shard]

So where exactly did Basil Exposition get his intel?

 

[Vyer]

lol universal healthcare

Didn't realize this show was gonna be political

 

[Particle Physicist]

oh shit.. Obama is a V!!!

where is your human birth certificate!!??

 

[B.K.]

Universal healthcare. Obama is a Visitor! :O

 

[Blader]

A SLEEPER CELL OF VISITORS

 

[Vyer]

so, so far the aliens are

super popular, want to bring 'hope' to the world, and create universal healthcare

and

are terrorists.

:lol who wrote this show again?

 

[SuperPac]

I figure that the guy's fiancee

Spoiler

is a visitor.

 

[dskillzhtown]

I like the cuts between the resistance meeting and the interview

Yeah, that was really well done.

I wish every show moved this fast.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

The biggest problem this pilot has is that it seems to assume everyone knows what happened in the original V.

 

[Marty Chinn]

I don't think that's the case here. What knowledge from the original is needed here?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I thought The Forgotten was already cancelled, jeez.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

oh great. this is gonna turn into a BSG "WHO'S GONNA BE A CYLON!!" angle, isn't it?

 

[gdt]

Speeding called it!

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

CALLED IT!

 

[esbern]

Brian is a fucking PIMP

 

[ryan-ts]

AHHH SNAP

Spoiler

BLACK DUDE IS ONE

 

[okno]

I'm going to keep watching this to see if things change for the better, but this is some awful, awful, awful shit. My god, whatever happened to subtlety?

 

[fistfulofmetal]

this is fuckin lame.

 

[Costanza]

this is fuckin lame.

you're fuckin lame

 

[SuperPac]

Err... no it doesn't.

 

[gdt]

Okay! I liked that.





I hope this doesn't play the old "who is a V game" over and over. I fucking hate shit like that.
