I really, really, really can't wait for all you guys to see this show! I hope they haven't changed anything from what they showed us at Comic Con, cuz all you guys are gonna fall outta your seats! Seriously...we were freakin' out!
http://abc.go.com/shows/v?partner=rm&cid=KNC-rm+v_title_fall_launch+google+v# (http://abc.go.com/shows/v?partner=rm&cid=KNC-rm+v_title_fall_launch+google+v#)
Watch some of the clips, I love the line, when the news dude asks Anna (Morena) if she has any questions before they start, and she says, "Just be sure not to ask anything that will paint us in a negative light". lol...sound familiar? lol.
*of course, I think Obama isn't attractive enough to be a Visitor. heh.
Jessi has a friend I REALLY want to dress up as a 'Visitor'...with Jessi's make-up skills at making terminators, I know she could do 'visitors'...just need something other than the silver 'emergency blanket' material she's been using to make the 'metal'....need something with a different 'texture'. *shiver*
CAN NOT WAIT!!
I told the girls, it would be the PERFECT costume for some who really loves to 'play a part'...they could say stuff when asked 'what's your costume?', or 'who are you supposed to be?", like, 'in 3 days, you'll know'. Or 'we will arrive in 3 days, then all will be revealed'. lol.
Did I mention Jessi's friend looks exactly like Morena? Small, exotic, beautiful, and is from Brazil? I'd LOVE to take her to Comic Con! If I had a size 2-4 metallic/silver/slate blue type outfit, and Jessi had the right 'supplies', we could make this girl a kick but 'costume'. So subtle. hehe. I don't want to 'spoil' anyone, but I gotta share: *seriously, don't look if you don't want anything about the show!!*
[spoiler]One way to prove that a person is NOT a 'visitor', a growing 'underground movement' has a way to 'test' people who come into contact with them. They cut a smal 'V' right behind their ear, near the bone, and lift the flap of skin...if it's flesh, they are obviously human. BUT...if there is reptilian 'lizard skin'! *shiver* I thought it would be cool for Jessi to use a bit of faux lizard skin, thin material and make her usual 'Terminator' type make up, either as a wound on an arm or something...but the little 'v' behind the ear would be awesome! Can you imagine the 'party trick' of a beautiful young gal in close fitting cool/reptilian colored suit, *the chick honestly looks like Morena!* with a little 'V' 'cut' behind her ear...and some lizard showing? *yipes* Anyone who doesn't 'get it', could have "Anna" say something about 'please be sure to watch my exclusive interview on ABC on November 3rd'...which is another crack up, since this new 'visitor' administration only deals with news people who abide by their rules and tell ONLY what they want told! LOVE IT![/spoiler]
I seriously hope none of you gave in to temptation and spoiled yourself. I'm just so very excited about this show. I hope they continue with the stuff they gave us in that pilot ep they showed us. It will sure to be a hit with 'us'. heh. I'm so happy for Morena.
I just wish ABC had more confidence in it. They are showing the first four episodes this November and then the rest next year some time, probably in March-April.

That is similar to what they did with the original...but times have changed. That does not bode well.
[spoiler]I am hoping it's because they are planning to keep the 'theme' I'm so excited about...but also afraid that that is the reason. Too bad it's not on FOX! *never, in a million years did I think I'd ever utter/type those words!*[/spoiler]

Sounds like SyFy. BSG, SG, etc. I HATE when they do that crap. I'm really looking forward to V though. I loved the original.
I did brag to everyone that the guy Tom is helping with the screenplay (cop/drama) was in the original "V", right? *fangurl squeeeeeeeeeee*. His name is Tom Bellen. *also in an ep of Buffy*

Shiny!
He just dropped off an edited (with Tom's input) copy of the screenplay last night. Tom was reading it...I haven't yet. Oh, and Tom finished his own book after all these years! He's going to enter it in a contest in Feb.
[spoiler]So far it's interesting, and seems to be a referendum on blind hope and change fevah.
They did throw in the obligatory "Visitors are to blame for unnecessary wars" thing, though. [/spoiler]

Thank God there was one surprise with a character reveal.
Okay, I am EXTREMELY happy an excited! Not only did they leave in all the things I'd feared they'd take out, they added in some special effects that Jessi and I did not remember from the pilot we saw at Comic Con.
We were totally fangurl squeeeeeing! lol.
Jessi has Loni Peristere on Facebook, and he posted that they did the special effects and mentioned a technique they used that was a first for a tv series. She asked him what it meant, and what parts of the ep used it, so we can watch again...very cool.
[spoiler]How did we love the fact that "Anna" arrived in a 'shuttle'? No wonder it reminded us so much of Firefly, with Zoic involved! *woot*[/spoiler]
The overnight ratings are in and V was a monster hit, averaging 13.9 million viewers.

As good as the ratings are, there will be an extended hiatus. They have only four episodes shot and in the can. They replaced the showrunner and they will resuming production in January.

Get outta my head Tink! I swear I thought the same thing. [spoiler]I was ticked off, yet again, that he was killed off, yet again! Can we just get Alan in a show that he actually LIVES thru??

That's cuz most libs only listen to the news nets that only show the positive things about Obama! lol. Or have him on their late night comedy shows.

I finally watched the first episode of this season last night and something has changed. I liked it last year
but this year some of the depth seems to be gone. It appears they may have cut back financially and
the script kind of stunk. I will stick with it because I want to see the end but I think they are getting ready
to call it quits on this. They docked the episode load which kind of tells the tale.
OMIGOSH, I can't wait to show this pic to Jessi! She wants to cosplay as Anna...but I guess they are gonna add skin to the baby pretty early on. huh.
Very funny 'debate/argument' going on on Facebook right now! "Anna" posted that our prez will be addressing us tonight so we will miss seeing her...and omigosh, all heck broke loose. Amazing how many HATE BHO and see the show as a comparison to what he's doing to us! lol!
Total crack up. There is an idiot named Cardi how is shouting (all caps) "O" talking points, most of them outdated...what a joke! Gonna miss seeing the show tonight dangit.
Wait, I'm confused. I thought program featuring the duplicitous cold-blooded two-faced charismatic leader of indeterminate origin that the gullible public fell madly in love with and started worshiping wasn't on television tonight.
So is the State of the Union on tonight or not? Do we get O or V?

Jessi was talking about that years ago...she'd stumbled on a site that was talking about a 'reptilian race' and the 'luciferian gene'.
There's lot's about it and geo-engineering on www.raidersnewsnetwork.com (http://www.raidersnewsnetwork.com)

I am really loving Morena in this. She is so beautiful and so creepy. It's awesome!
The 5th Column I am not liking. The priest and Erica I am not liking. Her son is a doofus.
Morena is the only thing I like about this show. I need new blood. I love Oded Fehr but Eli Cohen's agenda is very radical. Killing people who support the V is just wrong. It's like killing folks who are stupid. As much as we may want to sometimes that is not ok.

I'm watching now more out of the need to finish then enjoyment. Too many characters I don't like or get
annoyed with. Especially Tyler who I would like to knock up side the head. I like Erica's deadpan expression
that tries to not give away what she knows but really marks her as suspicious. I like the priest too who I suspect
has feelings for Erica. I thought she was especially good last night when her friend from early days came to work
with her. Of course we knew he was bad news but her expressions went from flat to chipper when he looked at
her back to flat when he turned away. Very subtle but effective. Morena is good in the part but I just have a hard
time getting past that look. Yes, she is beautiful but I really hate that haircut and with her long neck it just gives
an odd look. There has been a lot of inconsistencies in the writing and some plot lines that looked like they were
in the works seems to have vanished. Oh yes, the reporter looks so much like a squirrel or chipmunk I can't
get past that expression with those buck teeth. :laugh:

Too many annoying characters is right. I don't like the double agent V 5th column Dad. Hey as I was typing that I just realized 5th Column is because it is a V column right? I can't believe I just got that.
Bringing the church into this also getting on my nerves. Not ok. But I did like the V, priest. That ending was nice.
They based so much of the plot on religious aspects that it was inevitable that it would be front and center
and since I think the church will probably prevail it doesn't really bother me but I know it affects you more.
Well the V dad is kind of the will he won't he betray them character. I hope they get a chance to end this
satisfactorily. I would hate to not have a conclusion after investing my time in watching.
Yes, 5th column is named after the V and I didn't really think about it until midway through the first season
either. :)
*snarf*
:doh:
I have always wondered why they were called the '5th Column'...again I say :doh: !!!
Okay, did you all watch the last few eps? WOW. Jessi missed it last week, so we watched it online right before the season finale. I let out more than one squeal!!
MAJOR SPOILERS>>>DO NOT READ<<<<<<unless you wanna be spoiled!!
[spoiler]First, I was so happy the stupid kid got the mother of all hickeys. Morena is literally KILLING this character to perfection! I really want to talk to her in person again...I want to tell her I fully expect little 'Amy' to be played by Gina Torres next season!!! There are still plot holes big enough to drive a V ship through, but they make up for it with some major slap upside the head moment. I love how Jack faced down Anna about God, but it hurt my heart to see him overcome. Of course I 'squeed' like a fangurl when the 'big boss of the underground' was revealed!! Jessi and I were just saying they really need him for next season.[/spoiler]
Wow...seriously.
Officially cancelled.
So Morena can come visit me in Seattle now?
Only if she doesn't mind waiting for you to finish with Summer.
I would die!
