ABC Social: Episode Commentary allows people to add their own commentary track to any ABC episode available in the ABC.com Full Episode Player and share with others.

Can anyone add comments?
The short answer is "yes." The long answer is also "yes" but with way more details. That's why we call it the long answer. And here it is: ABC show experts; writers, directors, costume designers, and others will be offering their unique insight into episodes. ABC expert commentary will be added and released with online episodes for fans to view.

Pretty cool, right? Well, there's more.

How does sharing work?
Mom always taught us to share, so when a user logs into ABC.com using Facebook Connect and completes an episode commentary, a notification is sent to that user's Facebook News Feed. The user's Facebook friends are now free to watch and contribute to the episode. They can then forward it to their friends as well. Yes, sharing is good.

Anyone! Yes, a commented episode will be out there for everyone to enjoy. However, only the commentary author's Facebook friends will be able to add to the collection. All commentary takes place on the official ABC Full Episode Player to ensure that all traffic and security reside within ABC.com.

Is this suppose to take place after the first series? There needs more explanation to why they came back to Earth and what there true agenda is. I hope they tie some of this to the old series to show how they came this far and why they came back to earth after they got beat the first time. There is still a lot of holes in the story that need to be filled in. Where is this story going. Also they need to get away from the politics because no alien race of that origin would even use diplomacy and try to fit in with the human race. There also needs to be more adventure and more action to keep my interest!

V is the BEST new show - its totally going to pick up where Lost fans are left off. I've heard rumors that only 4 more episodes are going to be made then its being canceled. Big Mistake!!!! I can't tell you how many people I've have over to watch the show on my DVR or have watched on Hulu who are now fans. Its a refreshing series with great social commentary and a cool concept.

I THINK THAT THE SHOW IS GOOD. ITDOES NEED MORE CREATIVITY IN SEE THE ALIENS AND THERE EVERYDAY CULTURAL PRACTICES. I WANT TO SEE THE MARRIAGE AND FEEDING PRACTICES WITH ANNA. I DO LIKE THE MORE CALM AND CREEPY ANNA BUT THEY NEED TO QUIT ACTING LIKE THEY ARE FOCUSING THE CHURCH GOING VIEWERS. MAKE MORE SHOCKING AND NERVING TO KEEP THE SCI-FI VIEWERS INTEREST.

I do not understand why ABC will get you hooked on a series and then just stop it for a while. I understand they need to test a series but they need to have better ways to continue a program. I can't believe they are going to make us wait 4 months. I will say that streaming is a great medium. I missed the series on TV but decided to give it a try and almost watched all 4 episodes back to back. It is a great series. I think streaming will replace cable at some point because it is on demand and rarely is a series on when I can watch it. The commercials are short and tolerable unlike regular TV. The only problem with the commercials is that the same one repeats over and over. I would prefer a little variety. V was not marketed well enough. It is a great series but I knew very little about it and it seemed campy before I watched it. ABC: Do not give up on it. It could have a Star Trek type following. You will find that SciFi followers are very loyal. Keep up the good work but you got me hooked and then let me down by delaying the 5th episode. Work on your follow through. I presently have no way to know when you will start the series back up and even if you told me now I would probably forget since one of the comments suggested it will be 4 months. Luckily there is streaming. Good Luck.

Why did ABC bring such a wonderful engaging series to life and put us out to pasture for 4 months before it starts backup again. Did you want to lose all your viewers and or hope we will remember where we left off after 4 months of no episodes. This is so out of line with me any many others who love the show. its bad enough Syfi gave us Stargate Universe 90120 soap opera that is so horrible its beyond approach and now the only scifi show that's worth watching "V" is on hold because some big company in television seems not to know anything about television anymore.

Ineptness at any network is nothing new. This show obviously is not very important to ABC and I won't be surprised if it does not return. Syfy could not afford it, I think - when was the last time they had an actress like Morena Baccarin? Wow. This show is good, and the effects wonderful, but it is so slooowww after the 1st episode. Why don't they cover the obvious bases? Don't the V put a new perspective on alien abduction cases? If I was a G official, I would certainly take a look at it, but it was barely mentioned as part of the V Task Force. In 1947 an alien craft crashed in NM, which we know because the Army Air Force put out a press release that said precisely that (forget the weather balloon coverup, which the AAF officer later retracted) - anyway, wouldn't that naturally come up somewhere? Wouldn't the US or a cartel launch a satellite to look for other V ships instead of assuming that all of them are here? Aliens always hide their armada on the dark side of the moon! Wouldn't our government want to know precisely why they are here and make sure their actions/question were related to that? Wouldn't our scientists be first in line to enter the ships, hoping to get DNA samples and learn about propulsion and other systems? Would the government of any developed nation simply hand out vaccines or other shots, or allow the V to do it, without putting them through every kind of analysis? Wouldn't the government demand to know where they came from - that is never even hinted at. These are the kind of things the public and every government would want to know about, but they don't get mentioned b/c everything is about the resistance and the Tyler soap opera. Wouldn't the resistance try to get the info they have, along with a live or dead V, into government hands so at least they knew what they were dealing with? Even the best human cooperation might not be able to hold off the V but a motley group of 10 people with no support AIN'T gonna do it, folks. Speaking of armada, wouldn't Ryan know there was an armada waiting? Wouldn't he know the real purpose of the V's arrival, or have a pretty good guess? Wouldn't Ryan have a pretty good idea what the other V infiltrators are doing and where? We can assume they breathe our atmosphere OK, but why is there no discussion of what they eat or drink? How can a V (which has no DNA, or or some alien equivalent) father a child with a human? Even assuming the V could create the appropriate sexual organs and include real sperm from a human somehow, isn't this getting a little ridiculous? The list goes on... The original V was interesting and I watched most of the episodes, but the spacecraft and such are so dated now. So is the B-movie acting from cast like Jane Badler. This one is vastly slicker, although I thought the original round 3-mile wide ships were cooler. But with all the titanic things that would be going on, they focus only on Elizabeth, Anna and Tyler. There would be riots, markets would probably crash, etc., like in the Day the Earth Stood Still remake with Keanu. I'm fairly sure some governments would fall. There are so many things that could be covered in subplots (even an oblique mention would work, maybe). The arrival of the V would be the biggest event in human history, period. There simply is no event that remotely compares to it - well, maybe worldwide nuclear war. By the way, an earlier poster was offended that there is a resistance to the V. Native Americans didn't put up much of a resistance to the white invasion, because within a few years of white folks landing, 90% plus of NA's in the Eastern US were dead from typhus, smallpox, diptheria and other diseases for which they had zero immunity. Subsequent forays like Lewis and Clark took it to the rest of the NA's years later. As for the resistance - look at the V technology and the huge armada in wait. There better be a virus or something, because we got nada to fight them with.

Here's some expert commentary: At four episodes and the fifth unexpectedly due months hence, ABC.com and the network executives are universal 'sit-downs'. Look out for that supernova of a fart you're about to let loose --- gravity will pull it right back to you. Well, I think I'll wait until the series is over/ends and watch it without anticipatory anxiety. Try not to spend to much on advertising.

I would love to see Diana from the original show up one of the many ships shown headed to earth and knock Anna for a loop as her mother. Anna could be demoralized by a take over, providing the 5th collum with a viable leader.

I love the NEW V it is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I only hope that they plan to use the original cast in upcoming storylines. Especially Jane Badler the original V baddie Diana, mother to Anna Hmm? It would make sense and perhaps a take over of the mothership by Diana would create a an exciting twist with endless story options.

I regret the decision by ABC to take a break until March. Like me, many viewers will not watch it again. Who guarantees that you will not spend more than 4 episodes and take a break of 4 months again? I have more things to do, or rather, other options for serious programs and channels to watch. If the experiment failed, ending the story with dignity and get a better one.

So Far I love this show. I enjoyed the old pilot but never got into the series (too soapy for me). The characters have some depth for the short time the series has been on. I do believe that it is a smart move to take a few months off to review the feedback and think out clearly how to progress. I hope V makes it as a series.

You always forget at least one thing when making a list. I emailed ABC with a complaint that V had been preempted by a Titans - not game, but highlights show - and ABC responded that the email address I sent the complaint to wasn't the sports one. A human has to have made that mistake. Probably Van Jones.

Comeon ABC, give us one good reason why you put off this show for 4 months. As far as I'm concerned there is no good reason. Even if the Olympics or football or whatever else were on, you could make a different time, even late at night for the next week's one hour view. I find your reasoning for the delay a very bad business plan and very poor PR for your fans. You are making your public very upset and cranky at your decision making. The only reasonable excuse as to this rediculous delay which we have had no excuse given to us, is if your Master CD copy of the remainder season episodes had been stolen or burned up in a fire and you had to take a few months to re'do the episodes lost. Now that would be a good explanation. At least give us the right reason why you would take this show on LOA for 4 months. That is just lame business planning in my opinion. The excuse that I've read in these comments is a hypathetical reason from someone's mind is that ABC might not have known that their show would be such a hit and only spent money to make the first 4 episodes and then found that it was a huge hit and will now take some more time to make the rest.....that's just someone's imagination. Give us the real reason so I can see if I really want to even watch this show when it comes back; your credibility is in question.

I am glad I could see it on the computer on my schedule. I like to see Anna, she has such a unique beauty. Her daughter is really pretty, as well. The characters are so one-dimensional, but at least they don't have any complicated lifestyles to muck up the story. I really like all of them, even the ruthless, human devouring, women in power. (Hey, they are hot!) It is great that 4 humans will be able to defeat the vasy array of power the V's have. Human ingenuity will always win againt any evil, even from outside earth! If the show is over, my life will go on. If it comes back, I will watch it. ( Anna truly is mesmerizingly cute!)

The New V series is well done. I have no doubt things will begin to pick up as we have seen new resistance members and the extremes to which they will go in order to preserve the 5th Column. I had a suspicion that the Vs would not want us as food. The technology they employ would trump such a notion. Instead, I think they need our skin or body parts in order to survive. Why?... Despite their medical technology they have an uncurable disease and living inside human tissue circumvents the effects. Anna had a V from the 5th column skinned which apparently was fatal to him. Maybe they cant survive outside of human skin on our planet. It could be a climate issue or Earth's atmospheric compostion. Ryan seemed to get upset at the thought of Georgie skinning a V. Perhaps they need us as foot soldiers in another war. The V are wared conquerors and have several fronts throughout the Galaxy and they need warfighters. The drug in question may be used to prime us for either medical proceedures to harvest organs or to make us pliable puppets in their war effort. The interesting thing would be we could be used for both. Humans not viable to serve as tissue donors would be converted to military cattle. This would open up numerous options to the show to include a third or fourth race battling the Vs. We could have a few space battles or even a sneak peek of a battle on another world... It would be interesting to see the V homeworld as well. This could be seen in a computer download from a V computer system. I did predict the ending of the fourth episode, however. I told friends that they would eventually camera pan out past Earth and there would be hundreds of ships in a holding pattern. This conversation arose as we discussed the scale of the mother ships in the new series vs the Old. In the original V the mother ships were 3 miles in diameter the new ones appear to be about 1/3 that size. I am anxious to see one of the V out of the human guise. I am not sure how they would pull this off especially if they require the cloned or harvested skin to survive. I know the V would have to be CGI or rod puppet as they must have a thin and lithe build in order to fit under the human skin. A rubber suit is not going to cut it. All in all I enjoy this show! I like the characters and I sincerly hope ABC keeps the series alive for seasons to come. I seldom watch tv anymore. So if ABC wants my veiwership they need this series!! Thanx DT

i thought that this new V was going to be all cheesy acting and all special effects. BOY WAS I WRONG! i love this new take on the original, its my hope that they follow the original plot with the Robin, Brian, and Elizabeth. i was only four when the orginal premired and it was way cooler than the thorn birds which also aired that year. this was tantamount to my dad taking me to see Return of The Jedi in theaters. Rock on V my brother and i will always be loyal fans no matter what!

... I enjoyed the first episode. The second, third, etc. episodes fall in the category of being tediously monotone and boring in their delivery. In other words the series is a "one trick pony."

This might be a little bit long for some of you but i had to say it. Because I ready l love this TV show -V- Ok lets be fair and show some patience and consideration the writers, actors, actress, directors, and the crew of the TV show they have families to and this is the holiday times and they would like to take time off work this like you or I for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Years Day to spend time with their families. I also agree that when the show come back on in March it should do at least three flashback to give the show a little more meaning and understanding why earth was chosen. One flashback should be with-ANNA-showing how did she become the leader of the visitors was it from being-mean- evil- cold hearted- and heartless or was it from being smart- intelligent- deceitful and cunning or was it from being daddy little girl because he is the leader of their planet. Another flashback should be with-RYAN-showing how and why he got involve with the fifth column and how and why it got started. When did the first visitors come to earth to interact with the earthling without them even knwing it and how did they arrived to earth without being detected or were they Did he and the other visitors hate earth people at first because of what thier leaders told them about earthling but then learn the truth about earthling and everything they were told was a lie and the fifth column was form. Another flasback that also need to be done should come from the earth man-GEORGIE-telling how he first learn of the visitors arrivals to earth and how he knew they were not to be trusted also what family members did he lose because of the visitors, and how he met-RYAN-and why he trusted him even though he is a visitor. Did a friendship start between the two first and later the truth came out or did-RYAN-tell the truth first and because of is honesty a friendship started between the two - WHO KNOWS ? Plus, I also believe but i could be wrong the news paper guy-CHAD-is starting to get uncomfortable around the visitors and fell that somethine is not right the visitors they are being to secretive and with his reporter instinct is going to fine out the visitors true reptilian appearance and report it to the world secretly so he can continually go back and forth on the space ship to get information to help the fifth column and the resistant on earth. And all hell going to break lose. I also can't wait until -VALERIE-is told by her husband-RYAN-or someone else that her baby is half reptilian and he is from another planet. THIS IS WHAT I HOPE WOULD HAPPEN, BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT THE WRITER'S OF THIS TV SHOW HAVE PLAN.

This is a great show, however, I am appalled to learn that it won't continue until March!?!?!?!? Yikes! That truly sucks! I hope that the next time the ABC execs get together to brainstorm about what they can do to help their network get more viewers, that they will consider following Fox's and CBS's examples: let several episodes (16+) run consecutively to build viewer base, then have a normal hiatus, then 16 more episodes . . . like all the networks used to do in the "good ole days". I had totally forgotten about Lost until I saw it mentioned in this section! And most of the time, I forget to catch Ugly Betty because they moved the show to another night! I really have more important things going on in my life than chasing TV shows! I think ABC means Annoying Beyond Comprehension!

One more thing for now; I thought it was annoying when I heard the Visitors referred to as "V's", by humans. But it's even more irritating to hear them refer to themselves that way. If I visited their planet, I wouldn't call myself an E.

The hiatus this show is taking is absolutely obnoxious. If I had known it was doing this from the beginning I never would have started watching and I am definitely done now. Scott Wolf is now saying that they intend to tell the whole story in chapters? That is awful. This is also why I stopped watching Lost. What a joke.

If you need a little time to finish this awesome shows next season, I will wait impatiently... and tell as many as I can to watch when it starts back up. For those who are upset... every show takes time off air to finish the next series of episodes... don't panic because this one does too. We are of Peace, Always.
