V - 2009 (Season 1)
Just had a look at the programme guide for tonight and Saturday and it shows that "V" is on Sky3 on Saturday and on SyFy tonight.  Are Sky and SyFy showing the series simultaneously?

Excellent I'll have to V+ the SyFy HD and give that channel a good try out.

Are we getting SyFy HD? Sweet. I'm upgrading to V+ on Saturday so I'll have to try it out. V should look excellent on it.

Bizarre, especially because Sky3 is a FTA channel on Freeview and FreeSatFromSky.
I've checked the listings on RadioTimes, scifi.co.uk and tv.sky.com, and all of them confirm that the same episode (V Reeboot, Season 1, episode 1) is showing on both channels. That's SyFy UK tonight (Tuesday) at 10pm, and Sky3 this coming Saturday (17 April) at 8pm.
How on earth did that happen? I thought SyFy had an exclusive, but Sky's getting a repeat run less than 4 days behind them ...

Does Murdoch have an interest in The Sci fi channel?

Syfy (stupid name IMO) is owned by NBC Universal, no Murdoch interest.

Re: V - 2009 : Season 1
To confuzzle things further, there's no sign of Sky scheduling any further episodes of V on Sky3 ...

Re: V - 2009 : Season 1
I watched V Reboot E1 on SyFy at about 10pm last night...or that might have been SyFy +1? (This was via Sky HD not VM, btw!)

Re: V - 2009 (Season 1)
Quite enjoyed it, but it doesn't quite have the same tension as the original mini series when you know them lizards aren't nice, despite their protestations of "We are at Peace - always"
And of course if that tracker spike thingy was capable of taking images then it would be doing it at a decent resolution, not all fuzzy, what with the tech that them lizards have got

Re: V - 2009 (Season 1)
Sky is having a 'Free Weekend' on Sky3, showcasing some of its subscription stuff to Freeview users.

I'm still surprised they're using the occasion to showcase something on a channel they don't own though (Syfy, in this case).

Argh, I saw this advert on the side of a bus stop and was going to report it here but I forgot  . I thought that maybe the case when I saw the advert.

Re: V - 2009 (Season 1)
Don't know why but i've got a gut feeling the show won't get picked up for a second season

Re: V - 2009 (Season 1)
I watched the first episode last night, and for me it was too rushed and gave too much away in the first episode.
In the first episode we know straight off the bat that a) they are up to something evil and b) more importantly they are reptiles.
Whats wrong with building a little tension. Building up a big reveal (I know that we know they're reptiles but that doesn't mean you can't play with it)
Other than that, it wasn't too bad, I'll see how it goes.

Re: V - 2009 (Season 1)
Although the pilot was very rushed, it does settle down in the following episodes.

Re: V - 2009 (Season 1)
If anything, it settles down too much for a couple, then picks up again.
