V: "Birth Pangs" - 2/22 on ABC - Grading & Discussion

[Guy Gardener]

Was the season shortened/cut?

It felt like they pressed 4 or 5 regular episodes into 42 minutes.

Expecting Cancellation they would have to start telling their story faster if they are not complete assholes.

Yep, the season order from ABC was trimmed from 13 to 10 episodes.

It's better this week because without Tyler, Erica is acting like a real leader for a change. Also, she finally articulated the million dollar question: what do the V's want? This episode actually seemed to be written by someone asking, "if I were a smart person in this situation, what would I do?" rather than "what kind of shit can I throw on the screen to keep people from changing the channel?"

"TV, it's how old people watch Youtube."

Sigh.

I got a babylon 5 feel form this episode. When Sheridan was told to prove to the league of NonAligned Worlds that he could actually had a chance at fighting legends. "If thy want a win John, then give then a win."

And with Chad and that kid from Reaper showing up on the coms, it actually seemed like Erica had her own gang.

have I missed something but why has Hobbs forgotten about the bird that the Vs blackmailed him with?

generally, this has been a very good season sofar

Not wanting to see an old friend not tortured nor murdered more than usual is hardly the same as retiring your penis from active concerns. Besides even if that was his wife who he loved the most... Erica has yellow hair.
