Alright the verdict in on “V” ?
Just posting my opinion of the premier episode. I LIKED IT!!!!
Great start!!
Spoilers below so if you haven’t seen the show skip the post here,

Now here we go….. Wash and Inara together again on a spacecraft, excellent idea! It kinda bugs me a little that the two of them are (hopefully) on the wrong side and loosing side this time. But thems the breaks I guess. Even the beautiful smile Anna has can’t hide the evil intentions within methinks. Maybe she’ll see the error of her folk eating ways………meal time was such a happy time on Serenity……lol
And Alan gorramit, why’d he have to be a ruttin lizard-skin too, wasn‘t Zoe's cooking good enough? Why’d he have to turn into a reptile? Anyway I could hardly control my geekyness. Can’t wait until next week. I want to thank ABC again for the faith they’ve shown to the browncoat family in having not 1, but 2 Firefly alums on their new show……and Nathan on Castle on Monday nights……ABC is the place to be.
In closing I’ll just drop a hint for a future episode. The resurrection of Adam Baldwin as Major Mitchell ( Independence Day) military commander and top leader of the alien resistance. Might make for an interesting storyline…..

My question is what did you think about what happened to Alan's character at the end. Poor guy...Always taking a shot to the chest.

I can sum up Morena's performance tonight in one word:
Mesmerizing.

It should have been a two-hour premiere. It seemed to me that it might have started out that way but a lot of stuff was cut. Very early on it was already "three weeks later" but not much had really happened yet, then the last fifteen minutes was very rushed.
Overall I would give it a B or B-. Good enough to keep watching, but mainly for Morena.

Same here. It did feel like quite a bit was cut out...like Serenity on SYFY.
Moreana was beautiful as always, but I did get a streak of mean underneath.
And poor Alan. Gunned down again.

I liked it. I will continue to watch it. I wish it had been 2 hours, it needed to be, but que sera. Alan was great, and he's certainly not going anywhere. Morena's appearance was very other-wordly; her eyes a bit cat-like, and her voice reminded me of her using her feminine wiles. I liked the rest of the cast including Scott Wolf who I thought did a good job. This is something I will look forward to seeing each week.

Seeing Alan shot down and then seeing him back up and kicking in the previews for next week made me smile, "Wash! You can't kill him either!"
Morena is a beautiful lizard.

Alan's character is coming back? Yes!! The show desperately needs is sense of humor. Too much drama is too boring for my taste. (Curse you sudden but inevitable betrayal!)
Morena looked a little odd. I think it's the make-up. I think they did it to make it look like she wasn't really very human. You could almost see her eyes turn into slits or something.
Overall I'm pretty excited about the next episode. They're really teasing us with the 4 episodes before taking a hiatus.

always good to see any of the gang showing up on another job. and God knows I need to be watching something other than my 4 disc collection of firefly..my wife is long ago concerned over my narrow viewing selection.
I am hoping that if/when they release the DVD of this new "V" that they will run it with what must have been a second hour of cut material in the pilot..there was way too little offered in just an hour. I will stick around for the next epi.

The episode felt very rushed to me. I was wondering early on if any of the people we were meeting were really aliens, but I didn't think we'd find it out in the same episode.
I like that they cut down the clapping and cheering after Ana's first message to the world. That still drove me a little nuts. These guys just caused basically a big earthquake, broke a bunch of stuff, and said they want our resources but because they said the word "peace" people clap? Not believing that one.
I was sorta surprised the kid signed his own permission form. I thought it seemed obvious that he'd get his Dad to sign it. Just to drive a further wedge between the Dad and Mom.
Overall there wasn't much believability to the show for me. The premise is still interesting though. I'll give it another chance for sure.
