re: V - 2009 : Season 1
from what I've read, it wont show here till 2010, but as they're showing the first 4 episodes in the states then leaving it until next year, I suppose it's the better option, as we don't like to split shows in the same way.

re: V - 2009 : Season 1
The showrunner has stepped down, he'll be replaced by Scott Rosenbaum who is an exec producer for Chuck.

This show is forever being hit with problems.

re: V - 2009 : Season 1
Word is that part 1 is a bit ropey, especially with substandard editing. Has anyone here seen it?

I'd completely forgot about it - but it looks like I will be watching it tonight, I'll report back tomorrow and say what I think.

re: V - 2009 : Season 1
Just finished watching it and it was ok. Will wait for the next ep before passing judgement though.

"Is there such thing as an ugly Visitor?"
I don't think there is... Wow. I can see some of the bad editing. It also looks really cheap in places.

re: V - 2009 : Season 1
What a pity. When the original is a classic you have a responsibility to work pretty darned hard if you presume to re-make it. If what you produce is anything less than superb you're always going to compare unfavourably.
BSG pulled it off magnificently IMO. I hope the people that have re-made V didn't assume the success of BSG meant they could simply re-hash an original idea and have an instant success on their hands.

re: V - 2009 : Season 1
I quite liked the pilot. I also liked some of the changes to the original premise, such as
As for quality of the pilot (not meaning actual plot, production, etc.)...
Although obviously I myself have just got back from watching it in the US , I have heard that there are two different "scene releases" available on the "internet". One is a very bad "rip" which is "not linear with the broadcast", while the other is a much better quality version labelled as "proper".

re: V - 2009 : Season 1
They certainly did not take their time kicking it off with the V showing theor true colours to some . Thought it was very good
Anyone who knows the scene will read reports on indexing sites and look for propers if there is need I believe only the the xvid is bad the 720 is ok I think(apparently there are 3 little glitches but it is in sequence)

re: V - 2009 : Season 1
Just watched it and I really do like the way they've brought in changes from the original. Will definately be looking for this as it gets shown

What's the quality like? I watched repeats on Sci Fi a couple of years ago and the print they were working from was very, very ropey.
