Topic: Is anyone still sticking with V?

It wasn't surprising to learn that the blond guy working with Tyler's mom was a V; I have a feeling Father Travis and the FBI agent from last week's episode are V's too, with Travis also joining the resistance. Anna's growing obsession with Chad is interesting; she'll probably convert him so he can be her human love slave.

I can't see the series returning next year with viewers expecting to tune right back in. Ratings after last week's show have dropped and the EW message boards are full of people who do not like the Tyler/Lisa pairing and want the focus on the older characters. Come on writers, listen to your audience. Many sci-fi fans do not want One Tree Hill teen soap opera dramatics on their shows, especially when the guy playing Tyler can't act his way out of a paper bag.

V isn't great, but I'm watching. Little things bug me though, like last week when the picture in someone's house was upside down and there was a card with a name on it. The woman was like, did you do this, the guy, no, but here's a card and I know the guy.

Wouldn't you be a little freaked out by this and assume he was in your house? They just went on like it wasn't strange.

Yes. Still watching. And I'll watch it until ABC cancels it.

Do people often give up on a show after one or two episodes? I don't get that.

I guess I would if it was REALLY bad, but most series are at least mediocre and, if you chose to check them out to begin with since they seem like your cup of tea, I'd think it'd be worth watching them for a while to see how things develop. You're right, many people just aren't patient about TV shows now - like the network execs! Maybe these watchers are them, posting here in their spare time. ;-D -Spell

I am watching. I enjoy all of it except the Tyler/Lisa pairing. After tonight's episode it might be a little more interesting after finding out who she really is.

Wouldn't it be interesting if she turned out to be a human who snuck onto the V's spaceship and is trying to thwart their plans? Now that would be a good twist. Chewbacca

Have you watched and found out who she is? If not come inside if you want the spoiler./Betty

Yep, I'm still watching.  We have so few good sci fi shows on the air these days that I gotta stick with it!  And I don't hate the teenager the way others do; I find him very wide-eyed, innocent and gullible, just the character they need on this show.

I know, in between waiting for the new season of Doctor Who to start, sci-fi has been extremely rare. Chewbacca

Are you a *Battlestar* fan, Chewie? I can't remember. I finally rented their *Caprica* pre-series movie, and it was good, though not great (like B.G., in my opinion). *Caprica's* supposed to be a whole new B.G. series, starting next year I think. I look forward to that. -Spell

I watched the old series, but I couldn't get into this new series. Too emo and too much focus on sex. Also, the Cylons should have stayed silver robots, but updated in a more sleek design. Chewbacca
