I want to emphasize this exact point which could have been a great series. 1-The writing is absolutely terrible.I was disgusted when at the end of the pilot, the main character suddenly decided to form a resistance!!.How stupid was that?.She just knew about the Visitors and just hours later, The priest and her got somehow very close and she decides to take on the aliens. Absolutely ridiculous!.I wish Josh friedman was the main writer of this show. He's very good with making characters believable and doesnt take his characters lightly like the stupid writer of this pilot did.Disgusting Thank you very much. you said pretty much everything I wanted to say :) .

It seems they threw this out there with not enough thought about time constraints. Great analysis of the series John, thanks for contributing your thoughts on the V series.

Sorry, I mean, I was very very un-impressed. Everyone was saying it was rushed and they tried to fit 4 episodes into 1.. I agree, but even to a further extent, it's one thing to want to get a whole plot line and a bunch of it's points into a 1 hour episode, but when it forsakes the atmosphere of the entire hour, then they should not have bothered.. Aside from some of the poor tv series we have right now, I actually believe we are spoilt for great tv series, great writing, great direction, and great production.. So a lot of people will feel very let down with how un-impactful this pilot was.. Honestly I think it could have gone down better if the ENTIRE episode did nothing but introduce you to the characters, made you actually care about the city and the few main characters in it, have some empathy for their lives and situation,,, THEN in the final minute of the show bring in the aliens, and make you have some tension about how they will be received and how it will affect the characters/the entire world!!.... End episode 1... Perfect.. Instead they pile in about 30 plot points, building this entire gigantic scenario, and at the same time do an absolute extraordinary job of making you not care about any of it... It was almost as if they just assumed everyone had seen the original so there was no surprising anyone, so lets just get the whole story out the way like it's a formality, then build tension in a few plot points that we choose.. Hello, visitors coming to the planet is probably the biggest plot point the series could have, and it was made out like just a quirky neighbor coming over and asking for carrot flavored coffee... If you can't get any drama or tension out of a gigantic space ship hovering over a major US city, then that alone shows the writers are on the completely wrong track... Really really really poor.. I understand the story they are trying to get out from the original series, but clearly spared absolutely no thought for how it is received by someone watching... And have no understanding about how to build tension or suspense.. Telling a story is one thing, entertaining and drawing someone into the story is another... They missed the mark entirely on the latter.. I really wanted to like this show, but it was a large fail for me.. I'll watch episode 2 to see if it was just the pilot they got completely wrong, but regardless, they already spoilt a really great first impression that they COULD have made.. I wasn’t really impressed either..
