V Round Table: Pilot Episode
Welcome to the first edition of our V Round Table!
After various episode, the TV Fanatic staff will gather and analyze characters and developments from the most recent installment of the ABC hit.
This week, of course, we tackle the series premiere. Read below to learn our thoughts on it and feel free to chime in with comments. We love reader feedback! Let's get to it...
Who is your favorite character?
M.L. House: Chad Decker. No, this isn't due to my crush on Scott Wolf from his days on Party of Five. I'm always a sucker for any morally ambiguous character when written well. So far, it's easy for viewers to understand the dilemma facing Chad, making him an interesting individual.
Dr. Shepherd: Ryan, d'uh! The guy is a Visitor living as a human being. His storyline stood out the most to me.
The Barnacle: Father Landry. Can't recall the last time a priest led a resistance movement against alien life forms. This is one bad ass donner of the cloth!
Should the show have killed off Dale?
M.L. House: Not yet. I understand the temptation to make a splash on the pilot, but the episode was written well enough anyway. This reveal/death would have made more of an impact if we saw more interaction between him and Erica first.
Dr. Shepherd: No way. I love Alan Tudyk in everything he's ever been in. It looks like his character will resurface, but it clearly won't be with the same chemistry he and Elizabeth Mitchell displayed early in this episode.
The Barnacle: Absolutely. The show has already set the stakes: anyone can be killed, anyone can be a Visitor. I'm hooked.
