So, we watched V tonight...
I'm still unsure. Sunday, Craig did a marathon of watching the original two miniseries, and at some point, we're going to watch the original show. I wasn't hugely interested in watching the remake, but Craig asked so I recorded it.
I like the idea that they've been on the planet for years as a sleeper cell, but the pace seemed...sluggish? I dunno. I kept waiting for more, and it just didn't come. I saw the twist with Alan Tudyk coming a mile off, and I've never cared for Scott Wolf. Other than that...I liked...Ryan? Is that his name? The one who turned out to be a visitor helping them. And I always like Elizabeth Mitchell, so it helps she's in the lead.
The rest of it...eh. We'll see. I'm not sold yet.

I liked "Ryan" as well and Anna is just creepy to me.
This was ok. Morena was respectably creepy. I agree about the twist with Alan's character. As soon as they hinted about a mole, I knew it was him. It was just too obvious. Partly because of Alan's twitchy looking character, and partly because they really hadn't even introduced another co-worker that you *could* suspect. If there's only two people, and it isn't one, then it must be the other.
Anyway, it did drag. Like they are planning on setting up the monstrously long and complicated arc. But we didn't really get any payoff to keep us interested.
I did like the old priest/new priest paradox. Although, I think in reality it would be switched. The older priest might be more inclined to accept papal decree, but he'd be much more skeptical. Whereas the new priest would be more in touch with the new generation and be more accepting of the alien culture. But that's just my opinion. Maybe they're setting up the old priest as a V. Or perhaps the Pope. Hard to say at this point *what* the heck they are planning on doing.
