US Timeline V - 2009 : Season 1 - Page 4

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.

well there is less than 10 weeks of the year left

Bones and Fringe is on one of its breaks in the US too I do hate that myself

The only good thing is we will catch up here and I can watch it in HD without having to download it lol

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.

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.

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.

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.

I quite liked the pilot. I also liked some of the changes to the original premise, such as

Spoiler:

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".

I've just bought the "Complete Collection" of the original "V" from Amazon for £17.98

Original Mini-series + The Final Battle mini-series + the TV series

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)

cimt · 04-11-2009, 22:52

Wow, it premiered with 14m viewers. Not bad for a first episode in the US...

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.
