V

So I got about 90% of the way through V last night and I have to say that I thought that it was pretty good. I'll give the show a pass on the fact that if anyone saw the old series that you pretty much already know what is going on on the show so really the big surprises that they had for the original miniseries aren't going to be there here. We know they are evil, we know they want to kill us all, we know they are lizard people, etc... But overall it seemed pretty fresh.

What I did like was that the reaction from the general population seemed to be pretty good, they were skeptical, and considering how Xenophopic we are (I've wanted to use that word for a long time) it makes sense that most people would freak out. But at the same time would be curious about a giant alien spacecraft arriving overhead. And in a great knock to Independence Day, I like how one of the kids said it was just like that, and the other said that that was a knock off from another TV show, guess which show...

So while some of the show might be a little predictable, it's still looks worth a watching because I have a feeling that there will be some twists and turns that will make it exciting like the holy grail of crazy shows, Lost. And speaking of Lost, Juliet is the lead character on V, so you can't go wrong there.

We only have 3 more episodes until the long break, but that's ok, I guess it was done to improve the show so ok cool with me, I have high hopes and almost no expectations.
