V: On The Fence About A Return Visit

Remember that scene during the first season of Lost when it was revealed that Locke actually was in a wheelchair before coming to the island? After that moment, there was absolutely no way anyone was ever missing another episode. We were riveted and inspired and reminded what great television was all about.
We bring this up because tonight was the premiere of V on ABC and we had really high hopes—especially coming from the network that’s brought us such jaw dropping shows like Lost. The premise of V is fairly simple (and it’s actually a remake of an NBC mini-series from the 80s). One day the world wakes up to spaceships hovering over all the major cities on Earth. The inhabitants, Visitors as they like to be called, claim they’re there to bring peace and new technology to Earth. All they want in return is minerals that will sustain them while they’re so far from home. Sounds suspicious, right? Sounds like there should be non-stop action to keep you glued to your seat, right? You should expect a “Locke is in a wheelchair” moment, right? Yeah, not so much . . .
