It's true. They do. There's just something about a gorgeous guy dressed in black with a little white collar around his neck that gives me goose bumps -- and makes me want to rip off all his clothes. And now that I've shared that personal fantasy, let's move on to ABC's new science-fiction drama, V , which features the yummy Joel Gretsch as Father Jack Landry. I could eat him with a spoon. I never...
[SPOILERS] The V's get visa's in this penultimate episode before the show's enforced hiatus until spring, and "A Bright New Day" certainly managed to make me feel more comfortable about this infant show. There was a more confident direction, the story advanced plenty, lots of new information was imparted, and there was even a twist that surprised me. It wasn't enough to be considered a complete...
On last night's V, we found out how Anna (Morena Baccarin) keeps her alien army in line — she gives them "The Bliss." Which is probably just as dirty as it sounds. All in all, a corking... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
One of the cannier decisions by V 's producers was to cast not one, but two refugees from Joss Whedon's beloved, departed sci-fi series Firefly . You've got Morena Baccarin as V High Commander Anna, rocking the best short brunette haircut since Janine Turner on Northern Exposure . And you have — or, at least, had — Alan Tudyk as Dale, the FBI agent revealed to be a V sleeper agent. Firefly...
Over on Twitter this morning, one of the main topics of TV-focused conversation is the dearth of well-crafted and three-dimensional teenage characters on television. The Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan raised an interesting question about why teen characters are often so unlikable, to which I replied that television writers are often too quick to paint them as brash and unpredictable rather than develop...
So there we were flipping between basketball games and ABC’s new super-fantastic sorta sci-fy masterpiece, V, when a eureka moment in our evening occurred. Laura Vandervoort, who plays Lisa (a hot, young seductive alien), has a bedroom scene with one of the Earthlings. We won’t bore you with the complete details but the teen boy isn’t [...]

Episode Title: "A Bright New Day" Written By: Diego Gutierrez & Christine Roum Synopsis: Certain Visitors — including apparent leader and spokesperson Anna (Morena Baccarin) — are allowed access to United States soil, thanks in large to positive publicity on the part of newsman Chad Decker (Scott Wolf). But a potential assassination plot requires FBI agent Erica Evans [...]...

I'm a big fan of Joss Whedon's Firefly series, although I didn't discover it until after it had been taken off the air, so I'm forever sorry I wasn't part of the effort to save it. Nathan Fillion 's Capt. Malcolm Reynolds falls solidly on my Favorite Top 10 Heroes Ever list. And the particular phrasing and word patterns Whedon used for all of the show's dialogue is nothing short of genius. If you've...
I've been watching V: The Series, more out of nostalgic fondness for the original than any hope the remake would be worth a damn (and I prefer a long-haired Morena Baccarin anyway). Despit...
Pete in Cortland, N.Y.: Dana Delany isn't being killed off of Desperate Housewives is she? Nope. Dana herself tells us, "It's not me. I'm safe in the hospital." Wait, is she in the hospital because of the Wisteria Lane plane crash, or is she hospitalized when the plane crashes...and why? Sorry, we can't give away everything. Mariah in Louisiana: I hate the new Mercy Westers. Please tell me...

I watched V last week. I missed the first episode, but it's on-line. My reaction: not enough Morena Baccarin . Of course, that could just be left-over yearning for more seasons of Firefly .
Someone did a brilliant video-editing mashup of the “V” TV series and Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” video, creating a seamless clip in which it appears that Gaga and her dancers are the Vs. Admittedly they look more like aliens than Morena Baccarin, especially when they have rubber gloves on their heads.
“V” is a re-imagining of the 1980s’ miniseries about the world’s first encounter with an alien race. With huge spaceships simultaneously appearing over 29 cities around the world, the Visitors (or V’s) seem to promote a message of peace. Through their generous offer to share advanced technology, the V’s quickly build a following that may be overlooking a more malevolent agenda. The premiere of “V,”
One of the series IGN TV is most excited about this fall is the new version of V. Like in the original 1980s miniseries, the science fiction story finds alien “Visitors” arriving on Earth, with a message of peace – but hiding their true purposes, not to mention their true, green scaled skin.
