Take on V
Ok so I finally got to sit down and watch the pilot episode of V last night.
So far I give it a B+
This gives off the vibe of being just another OMG drama like Lost, Flash Forward, Heroes and others. I think if anything my biggest problem with the show is that I already know the whole story and so all I have to watch for is how that have put their own spin on it to modernize it and make it work but the overall plot I already know. I do think this one may be a little more appealing to some over say Lost as it doesn’t seem to have the deep mythology that Lost does. Also those that never watched the original V then this may be something you will really enjoy.
On a different note the V leader Anna played by Brazilian born actress Morena Baccarin who is previously most famous for her role as Inara Serra on the tv series Firefly looked very good. I am not usually a fan of really short hair on women but I think it worked well for her on the show. She has really nailed that look of sweetly sinister too. Her smiles in the show with the look in her eyes is hawt yet somewhat creepy which is perfect for the leader of a reptilian alien race with plans to take over the world.
Speaking of Firefly another ABC tv series stars an actor from that show. Nick Fillion who played Capt. Malcolm Reynolds on Firefly stars in the series Castle which is in its 2nd season on ABC’s Monday night lineup. Castle is a guilty pleasure of mine. The show is funny and the plots and suspense start out really well. My only beef with the show though is the endings. The endings are usually rushed and not that thrilling. The show spends
the majority of the time in the puzzle solving process as well as the cat and mouse relationship between Castle and Detective Kate Beckett and kinda runs out of time to wrap up the crime exciting fashion but I still watch the show every week. 
I will blog about more than just TV I promise. In fact I have been doing a work out program with the YMCA called FitTREK that I have been keeping a record of sort of that I may start posting on here but for now thats all I got. l8r
The kids and I watched it last night. I was probably living on some other planet when the original came out, so I didn’t see it. The 11 and 13 year old were totally taken it and really loved it. Personally, I like it so far. It seems a little better than FlashForward … for some reason it actually seems more plausible … Ha! And I agree about Anna – she looks Hawt – although I hate short hair. It’s easy to imagine her as reptilian under there! I’ll be tuning in next week for sure!
