V

Just found out last night that ABC canceled "V". I cannot even put words to how much I am pissed off by this. V is a GREAT show -great writing, wonderful story & characters, every actor on the show is so great in their role... And it's not just that Season 2 ended on a *monster* of a cliffhanger, the show is just.so.good. It really drew me in from the first episode. Morena Baccarin is amazing at creeping me out and making me hate Anna (Supreme Commander of the Visitors), and you find yourself really pulling for Erica (played by Elizabeth Mitchell) throughout it all.

And I don't give a shit what ABC's reason was. With the cancellation, the message that ABC is sending, in my mind, is "we don't care about quality, we only care about making obscene amounts of money." Even though the show was more "mainstream" than its predecessor, V is a scifi show and appeals to a certain audience - not everyone is going to tune in. Instead of letting us fans enjoy one of the best shows out there (not many left nowadays thanks to 'SyFy'), ABC will probably replace V with another dime-a-dozen "comedy" that appeals to the Two and Half Men crowd...
