Here is a [link](http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/10/the-first-eight-minutes-of-abcs-v.html) to the first 8 minutes of the new television show “V”, which begins airing on ABC Tuesday. ---

Random thoughts: Career oriented single mom with juvenile delinquent kid. :rolleyes: Don’t F-22 pilots eject in some kind of ejector-seat?:dubious: Morena Baccarin continues the fine tradition of evil sexy aliens.🙂 Jesus almost crushing a Vietnam veteran (presumably) . Wonder if that’s supposed to symbolize something. I prefer the [old](http://www.filminamerica.com/Movies/VTheFinalBattle/) ship design, the [new](http://www.foundation3d.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6206)design looks weird. The underside being a giant TV is cool though. The aliens could broadcast the next Superbowl. ---

I’m only through the first 8 minutes, but I’m already extremely disappointed at the terrible dialog and bad acting. And I’m not one to complain about such things too often. ---

I suppose the comments here made me watch it with a more critical eye, but I wasn’t hugely impressed. I’m sure there’s some interesting story that could be told around the premise of a worldwide encounter with aliens, maybe they’ve found it. I’ll give it a shot.
