It doesn't look like it is improving, after a slight surge in quality.<br /><br />And N:<br /><br />I think even 10 year olds would recognize the plot holes, poor motivation and logical fallacies of the new V! :)<br /><br />best,<br />JKMJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-89389236401069446642010-04-02T03:05:12.089-04:002010-04-02T03:05:12.089-04:00Hi JKM,

Now, it doesn't sound even worth that. Too bad. Are they writing now for 10 year olds (while they're texting)?!?

What did happen to the body?? Did she surreptitiously dispose of it? Did the police take a reptilian body away? What does one do with a reptilian body in a human husk? What about call the media--immediately--telling them that you're an FBI agent and "Look what's in my house!!" <br /><br />Seriously, too ridiculous to stomach.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304391238021068916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-81882161519306493642010-04-01T10:52:16.879-04:002010-04-01T10:52:16.879-04:00It's beginning to sound like V stands for Very...It's beginning to sound like V stands for Very Dumb.
