V for Very Clever…But That’s Not Gonna Cut It Over the Long Haul

Very clever, V, casting one of the Cylon Final Five as a member of the V Task Force within the FBI.  I only wish I were a little more geeky.  My brain is telling my mouth to water over this bit of casting, but my mouth’s just not that into it.

Also, nice touch giving Erica nee Juliet’s partner’s widow a V-shaped necklace.

But on the whole, V, I think, as they used to say in the mental patient’s writing group: “You’re taking too long to get into it.” 

I want to be in pain that I have to wait a whole week to find out what happens next.  You know what show has good cliffhanger endings?  Look at early seasons of Alias.  Look at True Blood.  Yes, I’ll say it: look at BSG.

I wanna be a rabid fan.  Trust me, it’s either that or find something else to do to amuse myself during your timeslot.  And I am lazy.  But picky.  And with more channels than there are flavors of Fancy Feast, why shouldn’t I be?
