LOVED V. But I’ll only hold these four episodes dear to me. And will probably consider the rest as non-canon.

I enjoyed it, I was in highschool when the 1st series aired and they managed to do good job tying in the 1st series, jokes about ID4 and other sci fi and of course you can’t beat Universal Health Care..

Like the above comment said it was intended as a mini-series, but unfortunately American Television does not treat SCI-FI with much affection look at Space Above and Beyond, Defying Gravity and others.

I am not a big fan of Lost, not that it is not a good series, but for travel I prefer the guy in the blue box.

Real reason is writers sucked and kept screwing things up.
New writers being hired for new eps. Nothing to do with ABC or Obama

I will watch this show simply because it is anti-obama

First, ABC did not commit to a series. Second, early in the production process it became clear the showrunners were at odds with each other and the studio. This was a personality issue. So, WB knew they had a loyal guy who was a proven writer in Rosenbaum and so they locked him up for the next few years and gave him V.

Actually, they’re doing it because it was originally announced as a miniseries. They didn’t (initially) intend for it to be a full blown series. Elizabeth Mitchell was initially cast in a guest star role (as announced to quell the fear that she would be killed off of LOST). So they’re running the first 4 episodes and testing the water. I wouldn’t be surprised if the first 4 are a more self contained arc. Plus the first episode had 8 episodes worth of crazy development.

You want to know why ABC is doing this? V was TOO anti-obama, they wanted to make sure the later scripts aren’t as anti-obama
