Just saw the pilot and thought it was fantastic. Just wanted to know what everyone here thought of it?

I watched most of the original over the weekend, this looks far, far superior.

I really enjoyed the first episode!

Something I'm noticing is that there's a shift away from the Nazi/Fascism of the original V's and a decided bent towards a fanatical/blind-faith religiosity. It definitely says a lot about the times in which we live...

My only problem is that...  [spoiler]

Alan Tudyk is a bad guy :( [/spoiler]

For us in the dark and with no access to the majority of american tv; what is it about?

I think that was one of the best parts of the pilot and of the upcoming episode.

For those of you not living in the U.S.

The basic plot outline of V is that modern day earth makes contact with an Alien race. This alien race, who call themselves the visitors, look exactly like humans and have come in search of elements that they vitally need.  These elements are abundant on earth and they are willing to trade some of their advance technology for them. Unfortunately the Visitors are not what they seem, and their benevolent actions hide a sinister intent for humanity.

Don't worry, the show garnered 14 million viewers here in the US, it'll come to the frigid lands of the Vikings soon enough! In fact Norway is getting it in early 2010, maybe you can steal a Norwegian family's cable! :P

Oh, but that would entail the horror of norwegian subtitles! I have trouble averting my eyes from any kind of text on screen...
