TVSquad

1. "The switch is not a good sign."

"Any talent from either show going could only benefit V."

These two sentences would seem to be antithetical. I'm just saying. Everyone has been quick to play up Rosenbaum's work on Chuck, but the Shield is anything but a comedy.

Personally, I was really underwhelmed by the pilot. Beyond the scenes that were in the overplayed promos, I didn't think it had a lot to offer. But that's less a problem of acting than writing and pacing. If Rosenbaum taking over can right that ship, it will be all to the good.

2. This is a ridiculous piece. Did Zap2It's Korbi move to TVSquad ?

3. I too was not too impressed with V. It reminded me too much of Jericho.

4. How can you have a job covering television and never see The Shield?

5. That's basically what I was going to come on here to comment.

"I... hear that The Shield is good." Watch it man! Watch the show!!!

6. I liked that it moved fast, especially since I saw the original and other similar movies (Independence Day) so we knew what was coming.

Plus it had two Firefly cast members, which can never hurt.

7. I couldn't help but think of all the people that would have broken out their guns and started shooting at the aliens as soon as they popped up...including the military....

8. Well, I was expecting some hopeful comments on this show, as I watched it late, and ended up having nightmares because of it. I guess that means its pretty damned good. I like the fact I don't really recognize anyone except for the FBI lizard, wasn't he in The Sandlot? Its still campy, fun, and intense like the original. I recently watched the V marathon on SyFy, and that was like watching Wonder Woman and Shazam when I was a kid all over again. This new version really makes you wonder if your neighbor is really who he says he is.

9. From what I understand is that V is being percieved as "anti-Obama". The aliens represent big goverment here to to take care of you, But at the cost of your liberty.

Supposedly that is why the showrunner was replaced, for allowing this to happen.

Me, I don't see it but people see what they want. Just something new for conspiracy therorist to chew on.
