I was shocked they did all the subplots in the beginning, but yes, it was pretty good — I’ll keep watching. š
I was in Junior High when the original started; it was cool to revisit it all on the SciFi channel (yeah, I know they changed the spelling — funk their stupid azzes! lol)
I was too young to watch the 80’s miniseries when it first aired, but I rented it on DVD several years ago and LOVED it!
I was really excited for this new version, and my expectations were pretty high. The pilot episode actually exceeded my expectations! I can’t wait for more. It makes me all the more angry that ABC is showing only 4 episodes before the show will go on hiatus during the Winter Olympics.
It’s being said that ABC is doing this so the writers will have time to really tweak the scripts of the 9 remaining Season 1 episodes and get them on par with the pilot. A similar strategy paid off with Season 7 of “24,” so I hope it works for “V.”

I used to watch the 80’s version, so when I saw this I decided I’d check it out, but had zero expectations. After watching last night I can say I was really impressed and blown away! They did a great job getting all of the subplots down in the first episode.. I’m hooked now, that’s for sure.
