V

[G13]

I watched the '80s version of it the other day (and possibly an earlier version before that, I didn't see when it was made but it looked bad compared to the one after it). I think I'll stick to that right now. It was good but I'm not one to flip on the t.v. religiously every designated night to watch my stories. I'll wait 'til it's all on DVD and watch them consecutively.

I saw V, I thought it was rather enternaining. But like ABC's other new series Flashforward, I really don't see how this series will be around for that many seasons. Still, it will be good to watch until it ends.

episode 2 airs tonight in 12 minutes... can't wait to see where this goes...

[LunarWeaver]

I thought it was only decent, but with enough potential to make me interested in watching future episodes. I think they just tried to cram way too much into the first episode - between switching back-and-forth between characters and scenes every minute or two, there just was very limited character development. It all seemed very cursory and haphazard. However, there does seem to be plenty of potential for future good episodes.

This wraps up what I was going to say.

Same. Except I spent the majority of the episode screaming "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" for various reasons.

[Freya]

This episode kinda drug on a bit for me. :/ It's an ok show to watch but it's not making me squeal with delight.

[Raistlin]

Again, the episode was kind of average. At least it was a bit more focused with some further character development, but I still have trouble giving a damn about any of them.

[The Man]

I like it. It's not Lost quality or anything, but the atmosphere of paranoia the show establishes resonates nicely with me, megalomaniacal paranoiac that I am, and I think it has potential to develop into something quite a lot more than the sum of its parts. Plus it has some stellar actors. As for how this will develop into a multi-season epic, I was distinctly under the impression that it wouldn't. From what I understand, it's going to have a limited run and that'll be it. There's only so much story to be told and there's no sense drawing a show out into more than it needs to be.

[Elly]

if i remember correctly the original was fairly short as well with just a mini-series, a full season series, and a finalizing movie... also new episode tonight at 7...

[The Man]

Yeah, the original mini-series was only four episodes long, although they were two-hour episodes. Granted, they eventually made a sequel.

[McLovin']

Not another episode till March? Didn't they learn from their mistakes with that 3 month hiatus for Lost?

[Shlup]

Seeeeeriously? I haven't watched the newest one yet, but the first three were not interesting enough for me to remember to tune back in in March.

[Freya]

Oh snap good thing I stopped watching it.

[Raistlin]

Yeah, March is ridiculous. This episode finally started to show a little more promise, too. Oh well.

[eestlinc]

I liked the book a lot better.
