The only wink link is that Party of Five guy as the newscaster. Terrible casting. I can't imagine him as one of the nation's top newsmen at all. He doesn't have the deep newsman voice.

Very cool. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed the first episode. I like Wash as the creepy Visitor bad guy. I'm glad to see he'll be back again.
I really like that they've created entirely new characters, and this isn't a straight remake of the old show.

He reminded me of George Stephalapagos or whatever his name is.

I enjoyed it.
The son is both a horrible character and a horrible actor, though. And the blond V chick he wants to have lizardsecks with, I can already tell, is a horrible actress too. So other than skipping their scenes, I think this could be good. |

The blonde V girl is Laura Vandervoort. She played Clark Kent's cousin, Supergirl, on Smallville season before last. She's not THAT bad of an actress
herself.

I usually hate shows like this, but I decided to watch because there was nothing else on and I liked it. I did almost throw up when she peeled back the guys
face.

Characters & actors worth respecting can't be summed up with a single word like 'perky.'

Elizabeth Mitchell was on Lost which is successful, I think a couple of the others were on canceled shitfests at some point or another.

The only thing I'd ever find him convincing as would be a male figure skater or a teen age boy who aged prematurely. Other than that, great show. And |

That fact alone makes those two "legendary"... not to mention the fact they are also just incredibly talented actors. I might be stretching it by saying four as I never watched the 4400, but I know the show has a massive following and Priest dude was one of the leads. If not legendary, signfigant contributior he is. And Elizabeth Mitchell is one of the most popular characters from the most critically acclaimed and successful Sci-Fi show of this decade, maybe of all time. - Four very recognizable/respected faces of the genre, who have strong followings and talent to back up the hype. Then you add a Morris Chestunt and a Scott Wolf - good (logical) casting. |

I loved this!!! It was very fast-paced, but I think they did it so they can get the "copying the original series" out of the way in order to get to
original stories.
I too gasped when her partner turned out to be a V. I also love how they just came right out and had the underground guy tell us that they were lizards. Then the suspense was still there when she pulled back his skin. LOVED it! It didn't let me down like some other show that I was really excited to watch this season. I'm looking at YOU, Flash Forward! |
