A poster named M.Bison wrote to Aintitcool.com, claiming to have seen the "V" pilot. In part the review read: "Overall the show has a good production value. The special effects were not the best, but at the same time they did not detract from the show. It certainly feels like the original 'V' complete with their arrival as the large saucer ships show up over all the major cities of the world. It kind of had the feel of really wanting to be serious which I think was done well. The Sci-Fi is kept to a minimum other than the Visitors’ tech and it firmly kept itself grounded in reality as much as a show with this kind of premise could. If the show can keep up the pace that the pilot set, it could be a very good show. It certainly has a JJ Abrams feel to it in the way it was shot. There is plenty of opportunity for sub-plots as well as all of the characters appear to have a certain depth written into them that is only very briefly touched upon in the pilot."

"Troy" from the "V and V: The Second Generation" Facebook group adds, "I'd rate it an 8/10.. Excellent production quality and acting.. Now that they've wet my whistle I'm chomping at the bit to see another episode..The ships have been updated.. The mother ships look pretty cool.. Very thin in profile as compared the diameter.. Its hard to explain the shape.. I'd say the closest would be a delta type shape with a blunt nose.. They did a good job with the mother ship design of balancing between menacing and friendly.. Which makes you think a bit more about the friend or foe aspect at first.. They do reveal that the ' V ' are not the good guys in the pilot.. So the friend or foe question doesn't last long...The shuttles were a bit cheesy.. Not sure if it was the video quality or the special effects.. They were actually the only thing that came across that way.. All the other effects were top notch.. They look a bit like dark silver school busses with jets on the back... The uniforms are along the lines of the original.. Cross a Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform with a ' V ' one and thats about where it's at.. Only the rank and file V's wear the uniforms so far.. The high ranking ones are dressed in what I would describe as business chic.. We haven't seen any battle gear yet.. Can't say what the guns or helmets will look like..
"Anna ( Morena Baccarin ) has the super short hair.. She plays the role almost to well.. Its so good its kind of uncomfortable to watch.. It's like she's looking right at you smiling as she stabs you... The mother ship had a large corridor that ran the perimeter.. The front had 20 or so stories of large rooms.. The interior was set up like an open air city you'd see in a discovery channel show about the year 2050.. Little ships flying around, gardens, lots of grassy terraces...
"This is definitely written with both the women and men demographics in mind.. It's a solid mix of sci - fi, action and romance / relationship drama.. Very much along the lines of Lost in that regard." For the complete review, click, HERE.
