V: The Series (revisited)
ADVERTS 1
Anyone watching the new series?
It's really pretty good (especially compared to SGU)...Average Joe

I've been recording it, but haven't had time to watch. I really liked the original so have my fingers crossed it will be good.

Morena Baccarin (Anna) looks as good as she did on SG1.
I like it better than the original. It's not as campy. The effects are better, better acting, more interesting characters and there's more depth to the characters and more facets to them.
A couple of Trekdom alums have directed episodes (Roxanne Dawson and Jonathan Frakes) and both have done well (IMHO). The writing is pretty good for a first season...better than most first season writing, and the plot is interesting.
Right now, I enjoy watching it more than most any show I follow (particularly SGU). Average Joe

The pacing is too slow for my liking. Each episode feels like a 30 minute script stretched out.

It does play out a bit slower, yes, but not as slowly as SGU has. I find it moves at least 2-3 times as fast as SGU. Last Tuesday's episode was paced pretty nicely...

Proud Staff MemberIts ok, but does not wow me.
But it has Elizabeth Mitchell in it, so that makes it worth watching.

It's got some interesting twists in it (the whole "John May Lives" thing) and the 5th Column tests, etc. The plot is moving somewhere, albiet a bit slowly....
I agree, Elizabeth Mitchell is easy to look at. Average Joe

Yep, easy on the eyes as well...except when she went all shark-toothed.
