watch it: the first 8 minutes of ‘V’
Okay, I know it’s gonna be stupid, and I know ABC is gonna jerk us around by airing the first four episodes and then pulling the show till next year, but I can’t help it — I’m psyched. Spectacular in some ways, but that is so not New York City. Hmm, could it be, I … more…
