Alien movies/tv shows are so common in pop culture that they have to be amazing for people to watch them. We've seen alien's before, so what shows/movies are trying to do now is add twists. District 9 makes the humans the bad guys, Cloverfield gives the audience a first person view, but what does "V", a remake of an 80's mini-series (that morphed into a tv show), have to offer that we haven't seen before?
Well, its kinda got a twist. The aliens say they are friendly and everyone believes them, but trust me, this is no E.T. At the end of the episode, we see that the aliens have been here for many years, and they have been planning their attack on earth. This is kinda different, but honestly, V isn't that new.
What's cool about it is the characters. We, as people watching it, don't know who to trust. It adds suspense but also suspicion that shows rarely can capture now. Although "V"'s storyline is a little cliched, overall I agree with most reviewers in saying that it truly has potention.
On a side note, the actor for Kara on Smallville (Clark's cousin from Krypton who's Supergirl, not currently on Smallville anymore) is the young blonde alien that the guy has a crush on. I just thought that was cool. ;)
