Early reviews from Metacritic, E! and USAToday give it a solid thumbs up.

Quote
The special effects are feature-film quality; the writing is intelligent and time-relevant; and the acting is first-rate. The first five minutes alone will hook you for the entire season.

I hope they put it online. We don't have TV at home, so I can't watch it.

This will be one of those rare moments when I do regret not having a TV in the house as well.

I'll get over it.

Quote
'V' aims at Obamamania

By Glenn Garvin
 
McClatchy/Tribune News
 
November 3, 2009


Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.

The news media swoons in admiration -- one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: "Why don't you show some respect?!" The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader's origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: "Embracing change is never easy."

So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait -- did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who's come here to eat us?

I've been watching the re-aired original series since Sunday. I'm looking forward to it tonight.

Eh, maybe. It depends on if it is mostly dialogue for "plot-building" or explosions and firefights.

From what I've heard, and the previews, I can't wait.  It's perhaps the first thing on tv that I'm honestly anxious to catch in a long time.

I've never seen the original, and honestly have only the vaguest of ideas what it's even about

yup... i was wondering how much political bullshit would be in this. It seems like every re-make or kids movie is full of propoganda.

Wonder when global warming will come up??


EDIT: Okay... this is going to get interesting! Most powerful weapon: devotion.

VERY interesting.

Health care for everybody, because the V's don't want their food source to be ill or sick.

OK so we have the start of the Obama Youth Corps.
A tie between universal health care and slavery to a tyrannical govt.
Devotion and adoration to a glorious leader...who sorta looks like Obama.

Only softball questions allowed.
the media compromising its standards for position with the govt.

AND Militias presented in a good light.

Did a conservative write this?
