This Season's Best Sci-Fi Cliffhanger: V or The Event?

[DallasEast]

Last month (or was it March), the visitors queen Anna 'blissed' (or pacified/hypnotized) most of the human population in the season finale. How will the human resistance counter it? Stay tuned!

Last night, the visitors leader Sophia (there are SO many aliens running around : ) successfully carried out their plans to transport her entire race to Earth. Well, technically, their transport device brought her ENTIRE HOME PLANET and parked it in Earth's solar orbit! Yeah yeah. It should've ripped the world apart. Yada yada yada, but still! Will humans survive an invasion of 2.8 billion aliens from a planet sitting only a few hundred thousand miles away? Stay tuned Part II.

I was shocked V was even renewed

I was shocked V was even renewed

I wasn't because every other new drama was cancelled by ABC last season, renewing V also wasn't a bad move as it stablized around a 2.0 this season, higher than Fringe & Chuck both of which got renewed again. I was more surprised it didn't get renewed this year as not only did it stabilize but its ratings where trending upwards, than I was that it did get renewed last year.

Fringe is another one I was surprised was renewed.

Both cancelled??? Crap!

Oh well. SyFy Channel here we come (if its smart enough to pick them up).

Too much money for either series most likely.

The Event is rumored to be having talks with Netflix to continue the series on there.

This may be some fanboy rage but NBC are idiots for not picking up The Event for another season. They almost cancelled Chuck a few years ago, they cancelled Heroes. They could at least give the Series finale like they should have done with Heroes.

Be great if Netflix picked it up though.

I counted myself as a big Heroes fan, but NBC did the right thing and put it out of its misery. It had many plot problems after the first season, but its major problem for me was that the writers trapped themselves within a Sylar box.

Practically every adversarial storyline centered on Sylar. Granted, he was a great bad guy character and Zachary Quinto played him very well, but enough was enough. The series was crafted from comic book style. No comic book hero or heroes has basically ONE villain to deal with.

Heroes started out good, got bad halfway through season 1, and got worse from there.

Good lord was it a terrible show. And I watched every episode. Great cast, good acting, TERRIBLE everything else.

Glad I don't have to watch it anymore.

Also hated The Event, V, and Chuck.. The Fringe.. no thanks.

House is about the only show I watch on regular TV anymore.

TV has gotten really bad. At least HBO/Showtime tend to make good shows.

Fringe, The Event Chuck and V are all great TV...


Heroes entire first season is one of the best seasons of TV ever produced. Fantastic stuff, exciting from the 1st episode to the last... The 2nd season is where the decline started

Fringe and Chuck are great. V was pretty bad until that finale which jumped the show up about 3 notches, and The Event was decent, plenty flawed and not very good to start, but pretty solid the 2nd half of the season. The main problem with V and the Event were characters who were just stupid and had the reasoning ability of 2 year olds.

I know it was horrible at the end, but I still would have like a series finale.

They didn't give it a finale because that would take a card out of their deck. Same with the event.
