Granted, dramatic pieces of work are often a repeat in some form or another, but ugh. Star Trek 2.0 - 1 was so frustrating.

Those with a love of the vernacular, will be familiar with the meaning of "86" (to get rid of or kill) [en.wikipedia.org])#Origin and those with a love of science fiction films, will know that this usage was popularised by the alien Kreton in 1960's 'Visit to a Small Planet' [en.wikipedia.org] .
The alien (played by Jerry Lewis) activated his special powers with a series of number commands.
The power to kill being initiated by pointing his finger and saying "86".
Both the gesture and the associated command entered popular usage immediately thereafter.
Could it be possible, that the script writers of 'V', are intentionally referencing a science fiction film, written by no less a literary giant than Gore Vidal?
Seriously?
'V'?
Is that possible?

Megan Fox - an awesome part? Hmmm so she did lose a starring role next to Shia. Perhaps, I'm reading into it too much.
Possibly more Jill Valentine! yippee!
Chuck Season 3 - awesome. I am looking forward to it.

I'd say Fox is more like a gnat. Something that's insignificant, can be swatted away, but keeps coming back to annoy.

On the flip side, I just saw Jennifer's body and I was impressed with some of the scenes she did. Like the blood scene in the kitchen. The way she smiled. It's like...she really is a demon.

Something about this just strikes me as being wrong. Bay? Scripts? Who's he trying to fool?
I kind of wish V wasn't ending so soon. It's been nice having a Tuesday-night-show. Maybe I can use the spare time to catch up on SG:U.

Seeing Ray Wise in anything makes me miss Reaper that much more, I freakin' loved that show.

@CmdrHunt (aka Clarence Colton): Airwolf vs. a V mothership? No contest! Maybe there could be a Magnum PI crossover and TC could bring in ...

Also, the fact that the vessel body came from my home state of Delaware makes me strangely proud for some reason (not to mention slightly aroused... jk, or am I?). It's gonna drive me insane waiting for the new year and new episodes after this week's upcoming. #spiderman4

Stretching the promised epic-ness is one thing.... bullshitting and stalling their way through even 1/4ths of the final season is outright jackassery. I'm getting precisely the same vibe from this final season that I got from BSG.
