I grew up watching the original "V" show and remember it being scary and cool - I was like 8 years old though. For last night's premiere, I raced home to watch it and was disappointed at how slow the pacing was. The acting was cardboard and there weren't any twist deviations from the original that I noted. The special effects were borderline at best. The whole luster of the show wears off when the audience already knows A) the aliens are bad guys and B) the "aliens" are reptilians under human-like skin. What's the point of re-making a show like this??? Even the "cut to commercial" sounds are too much like LOST. Maybe this show will be cool to 8-year olds out there but everyone else can move along.
