Excellent choice both of actress and character. The Suicide Squad are in an odd position where they're an idea old enough to appeal to longterm readers but also high concept enough to translate across to TV. #smallville

ABC isn't worried. They have their secret weapon: "devotion"

This show got high ratings? Boggles the mind. #v

@GodofMonkeys: Not at all. A lot of people will stop to gawk at a trainwreck. Unexpected ratings on a first episode really mean very little -- look at the Bionic Woman remake. #v

Oh... I saw "Lost" and "Abrams" in the same sentence and blocked everything out.

This seems nice I guess. #startrek

"Here's an idea of how Fox can be more supportive: Move the show to another night, already; the Thursday gambit is clearly not working."

My thoughts exactly Graeme. It should have stayed where it was, as there was jack shit happening on Wednesdays. #fringe

If the numbers hold up over the next few weeks it will create an interesting situation. If the viewers come back the networks will feel they can get away with anything. Long hiatuses for cable shows (BSG, Sopranos) will confirm this.

If it tanks on return, what will they think? Unfortunately, I doubt that their egos will allow them to learn. they will either blame unfaithful viewers or a drop off in the shows quality.

I can even see them moving it to another time slot - either to compete with something or as a tent pole which would further confuse the issue. #v

Start each episode with Morena Baccarin talking to some minion Visitor and saying "You know, this reminds me of that time we invaded an Earth in a parallel dimension, and I had that long hair and 1980s evil bitch mask" before cutting to the original episode. Then, at the end, cap each episode off with Baccarin laughing and saying "Now, that was a sticky situation!"

I would watch that. Then again, I think you could throw out the actual episode and have Morena Baccarin just talk about anything and I'll watch it. #v

I watched, it was horrible. It was like they tried to compress a season's worth of shocking revelations into 47 minutes. The Vs are reptiles! The FBI agent's partner is a V! The Black Guy is a V! (but he's a good V!) The FBI Agent's son is going to forge his mom's signature!

Any one of the above revelations would have been good if they had been paced well, like each in the last two minutes of a separate episode, you know, like Lost does. Instead they are all crammed into the first episode. The Vs walk into the UN, and the next scene it's three weeks later? #v

Your editing suggestions make me think you've gotten some ideas from Jack Donaghy and his success with Seinfield vision.

Let us break down this statement:

The mood on set and in the writer's room is as good as the ratings are bad, which is to say, wonderful.

Translation: "The ratings are terrible and yes boss, it is our fault. All our fault. Your decisions are held in higher regard than what us artistic types call 'common sense'. But we are working real hard and staying positive. Right Fox? That's what you want? Go-getters. Smiles."

Luckily, Fox has been insanely supportive, for which we are deeply grateful... [G]iven that we're on one of the [it] hardest [nights] on television...

...we're just focusing on making the best show we possibly can.[We promise.]

And finally, the cry for help.

What else can we do?

I'm just saying. Seems fishy.
