marcmagus: Me playing cribbage in regency attire (Default)
Thursday, November 5th, 2009 11:31 am

[Again, I started to write a comment to somebody else and decided it was better as its own journal entry.]

So I watched the V premiere the other night, and . . . it had some mild ups and some pretty severe downs. I don't know if this one's going to be a keeper, though I might watch a few more episodes. Some random thoughts:

Maybe spoily? )

If you didn't watch it, I probably wouldn't bother unless you're looking for something to do. It might get better, and I'll probably give it a bit longer to see [and, knowing myself, get sucked into even the lousy story and keep with it to see where it goes], but after one episode I can't say I really recommend it. As serious SF, it's not quite getting it. As fluff, the density of fun/great moments just isn't high enough, at least not yet; there's better ridiculous crack out there [Eastwick]. Meh.
