V PICKED UP!

From ABC:
V
Today, the world woke up to find spaceships over every major city. The Visitors claim to have come in peace, bringing gifts of medical miracles and technological breakthroughs. They promise to do no harm. They’re lying.Most people believe the aliens have arrived just when we needed them most. We’re eager to embrace their generous offers of help, but while tracking a terrorist cell, Homeland Security agent Erica Evans stumbles upon something far more sinister. Erica discovers that the aliens have plans to infiltrate our governments and businesses, planting seeds for their plot to control mankind. Convincing anyone of the truth will be impossible because the Visitors have two powerful weapons. First, they’ve given the people faith with their reassuring presence and gifts. Second, they’ve rallied our youth. Thousands of teens, including Erica’s son, have been recruited as ‘Peace Ambassadors’ but they’re actually serving as unwitting spies. When Erica gets thrust into the resistance movement, she’ll have to balance her covert activities with her job and her role as a mother, fighting to protect her son Tyler – even as he joins forces with the enemy.
From executive producer Scott Peters, Emmy-nominated creator of The 4400, comes a bold re-imagining of the sci-fi classic. Let the invasion begin.
The series is produced by HDFilms in association with Warner Bros. Television. Scott Peters is executive producer/writer and Steve Pearlman and Jace Hall are executive producers.
In addition Steve McPherson, head of ABC Entertainment had the following to say:
“At this point, we believe the show will be four parts, with each consisting of anywhere from 13 to 22 episodes. We want to craft a whole series. It will have a beginning, middle and end.”
He further explained he considered V to be an event drama at midseason and says the plan is to have it run for four seasons.

May 19th is when ABC will decide whether the new V will live or not. The screening for all the executives took place on Monday and V came out alright. There were some mixed reviews but most say it is still in contention although possibly as a midseason replacement.
Hollywood Reporter on the Screening
Meanwhile, “V” and “Limelight” screened to mixed reviews Monday at ABC. Of the two, “V” remains in the mix after scoring well with its alien characters.
Hollywood Reporter on being a midseason replacement
At ABC, in addition to the already picked-up drama “Flash Forward” and comedy “Modern Family,” dramas “The Forgotten,” “Happy Town” and “Eastwick” are going very strong, with “Empire State” and “Inside the Box” in contention. “V” remains a possibility for midseason.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed
SecondViews: V Forums Opens!

After some people asked me for it and I hedged a bit, I decided to open a community forums for the V saga. All viewpoints will be welcomed and as long as everyone is treated with respect, I think it can be a great thing for V and it’s community.
Have fun!
