Daft Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Anyone else catch the first episode? Apart from the verging on explicit anti-religion message, I thought it was pretty good. Not amazing but better than average, it has potential. Assuming it doesn't get cancelled. Which it might have been already.
Beast Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I really want to watch this. My Dad was saying to me how it's a remake of a programme shown in the seventies or eighties and he liked it. Must watch at some point. I don't know what it's about exactly. Is it just aliens and stuff?
Daft Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 Aliens come to Earth in peace but not is all as it seems. ...would be the basic gist.
The fish Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I saw a bit of it, but wasn't exactly taken - it seems like it could be a thinly-veiled of "OMG the government/New World Order/Trans-National Corporations/Jews control everything!!!!!!1" foil-hat wearing piece of propaganda, though. Still, it has some promise, and I'd like to see where it goes from here.
Daft Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 Here's a picture of the cast. Got a touch of Lost and Firefly about it. Morena Baccarin is ace as Anna. The son is instantly annoying.
Iun Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I saw some of this the other day... ...all I kept thinking was "And Terminator got cancelled..." It's kind of like that South Park episode where Cartman gets his own amusement park and Kyle gets an infected ass. Except V is Cartman's amusement park and Kyle's infected ass is Terminator being cancelled.
Tales Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 How long is the first episode? The one I watched stopped so sudden.

The one I watched stopped so sudden. About 45 minutes.
Happenstance Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I really enjoyed the Pilot episode, thought all the cast seemed well chosen (apart from the kid, who's smile I cant stand). Im looking forward to seeing more of it. Shame we'll have to wait until next year for the main part of the season.
Ashley Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I'm not sure how its got a touch of Firefly about it other than the fact two cast members are in it :p But yeah it was okay. Its due to go on hiatus in three or four weeks until the new year, so I'll wait until then and catch up. Preferred it as an opener to FlashForward but still, same old same old really.
Daft Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 I'm not sure how its got a touch of Firefly about it other than the fact two cast members are in it :p Well that's how.
Dante Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I really want to watch this. My Dad was saying to me how it's a remake of a programme shown in the seventies or eighties and he liked it. Must watch at some point. I don't know what it's about exactly. Is it just aliens and stuff? You're making me feel old but no else seen the original series and V:TFB?
ReZourceman Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Wait....its got the hugely porkable chick from Lost in? Winnar. Wanna watch this now. Someone hit me up with a warez download link via pm for win/?
Happenstance Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 You're making me feel old but no else seen the original series and V:TFB? I have seen them years ago but dont really remember a lot apart from various laser firefights
Daft Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 Wait....its got the hugely porkable chick from Lost in? Winnar. Wanna watch this now. Someone hit me up with a warez download link via pm for win/? Res, why don't go go watch BSG first. Before I come over there and force you to watch it. Although I do want to watch it again so maybe that isn't such a bad idea...
ReZourceman Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I do want to see it. I actually planned to watch the entire thing when it finished over 3 years ago when my mate was raving. But thats 5 seasons. This is 1 episode...so far. Epic easilyable. But I'll definitely be BSGing soon. Feel free to join me. I have nuts. Dry roasted.
Daft Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 It finished the beginning of this year. It's 4 seasons and season 1 is only 12 episodes or something. I'm going to keep bothering you until you watch it. It's for your own good. In the end, you'll thank me.
Daft Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 Remember Rez, time spent posting is time wasted not watching BSG.
