re: V - 2009 : Season 1
Well I watched the pilot tonight and thought it was total rubbish. The plot moved far, far too quickly, making it feel horribly rushed and poorly written. There was no build up, no suspense, and events which happened in the original several episodes in happened within the first 20 minutes... It was a mess.
Add to that the relentless pro christianity propaganda and this isn't something I'll be watching again. The current crop of American TV, excluding the superb Mad Men Season 3, has been disappointing, but this new V remake has been by far the worst so far. |

The new one doesn't have that, but it has introduced several new concepts, and while the first episode was a bit patchy, it did introduce several potentially intresting plotlines. Spoiler:

Yep, I was amazed at how different the new version is, which is why I like it so much. In fact, the only similarity between the two is that there are spaceships all over the major cities and they're reptiles under their human skin. Thassaboutit!! Oh, I also like the fact the new version has much thicker, more realistic "fake" skin... :)

The last time I watched the entire lot though was probably about 10 years ago when I had the VHS box set, so I'd hope the quality is at least better than that. Quote:

Besides, you should see my DVD collection! Quote:
I did still enjoy it though. Relentless pro-Christianity propaganda? :confused: ---------- Post added at 19:18 ---------- Previous post was at 19:15 ---------- Quote:
Re. your spoiler, I have read that some US critics have claimed that the pilot as a whole is a "commentary on Obamamania". ---------- Post added at 19:21 ---------- Previous post was at 19:18 ---------- Quote:

I don't want to personally see *any* religion on TV, particularly not in a sci-fi series which above all things should be free from the lingering delusions of primative people long since dead. |

Even in US TV it's rare to see it as blatantly promoted as was the case in V. |
re: V - 2009 : Season 1
all it was doing was introducing a character who actually was going against his faith and questioned Gods existence because of the Aliens. Hardly promotion? I am guessing you are an atheist bigot the opposite of a religious bigot

And thanks for the insult, that was really nice of you. Athiests just prefer not to have religion shoved into their faces, and given how deeply unpleasant it is I don't think that's an unreasonable request. |
re: V - 2009 : Season 1
Guys, can we please not sling insults or turn this into an argument about religion.
As for the actual episode in question: No, I didn't fall asleep, & yes, I did see people going to church in the episode in greater numbers due to the uncertainty of the situation with the Visitors. I didn't see it as being "relentlessly pro-Christianity propaganda" though. As zing said, they were introducing a main character who was going against his faith & questioning things because of the arrival of the Visitors. He was also questioning the wisdom of the Vatican in their blind acceptance of the Visitors, & he was warning against people turning to blind worship or devotion of the Visitors. I didn't see it as "pro-Christian", & I'm an atheist myself, so also don't want to have religion shoved in my face on TV. In the US, some people are seeing it as being a criticism of "Obamamania". |
