Tonight marked the return of both "V" and "No Ordinary Family". I enjoy both of these shows, but things weren't looking very good for the future of "V" when the series went to break back in May of last year. To be honest with you, I won't be surprised when the show gets the cancel-hammer.
I was a fan of the original "V" mini-series and the follow up sequel mini-series "V: The Final Battle". I was even a fan of the short lived TV series that followed the further adventures of the Visitors and the Resistance.
With this new "re-imagined" series, the magic just isn't there. We have a resistance consisting of an FBI agent, an accused terrorist, a priest, and a ex-pat visitor...that's it. Where's the action? Where are the rest of the people that can see behind the facade of friendliness that Anna and her alien cohorts hide behind? Where's the paranoia? The visitors haven't even been publicly "unmasked" yet. Color me disappointed in the direction the creators decided to go with this show with so much potential, but not disappointed enough to lose hope that there's something better coming with this series.
Until next time
