we're bad at this

Damn it woman… I am sick I don’t want to work… Well, we can’t have a blog running on pure rant so I guess I will provide something worth checking… “V” is a remake of the mini-series with the same name from 1984 (behold my links). Yesterday while waiting for my Visual Studio 2008 to finally finish installing I watched the pilot episode. And I almost gave up on the show because although Reptiloid alien (who can mask as humans) invasion sounds like fun the episode was packed with cliché and taffy. The dialogue was rather slow and boring. Also as my room-mate pointed out for a highly developed space traversing race some of their weapon designs looked quite  inferior to a good old Earthly grenade. Maybe it is an Reptiloid thing but the visitors seemed rather obsessed with using mele weapons. The second episode at least picked up the pace a little. The dialogue became more thrilling and the main characters received a few shades and moved a little from their white, black or dull grey initial sketches. The ratings of the show are still mediocre but if you are looking for a sci-fi to watch, it might prove satisfying.
