v: intrigued, terrified, or both?

Ever since ABC announced that Elizabeth Mitchell would be (at least partially) leaving Lost for their new alien series V, I’ve been scared.

Partly because Suliet was the best thing ever to happen to my personal fandom life, and partly because alien abduction stories are really freaking scary.

But I’m also intrigued by it, if only because I love the idea of Elizabeth Mitchell sleeping her way through the Salinger family–I could definitely get behind an EM/Scott Wolf OTP. (PS Scott Wolf went to my college. If I ever meet him, I can make small talk.)

It’s  a little premature to get excited about this show already, since the show seems to be mired in production problems. Production was stopped for awhile while the network tweaked it, and it was recently announced that the show will be airing in miniseries-like chunks in the fall and spring–not exactly a show of confidence.

Anyway, ABC released the first act of the pilot today and it is, as I could have expected, both terrifying and intriguing.

Because part of me totally believes that this kind of thing is possible and lives in constant fear that today will be the day they decide to hover over Manhattan and make their presence known.
