V: Let's hope the special effects have improved
So, a rather impressive 14 million viewers tuned in to watch the kickoff of the new-and-improved "V" Tuesday night, making it the second highest debut of the new TV season (behind that show with LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell, a pairing which I can barely remember living without).
Viewers got to see a lot during the show -- including the hovering alien ships, which are outfitted with gigantic hi-def TVs on the bottom! Can you imagine watching the new LL Cool J/ Chris O'Donnell series on those things? -- but what we didn't get to see is the aliens EATING RATS. Because that's what the aliens do, they EAT RATS. They're RAT-EATING ALIENS!
Or maybe they're not? Since we didn't get to see them dine during the premiere, we don't know what kind of meal plan they're on these days (maybe they eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch, who knows?). But let's just hope if they do indeed snack on rats, the show's FX team makes use of the vast improvements in technology since the original "V" hit the air in the Regan years. Witness:
Also, if they go with some sort of robotic overlord voice like in the above clip, let's hope they hire T-Pain (or at least get someone to use the T-Pain iPhone app).
