V is pissing me off.

RANT ALERT!!


But not for the reasons you think. As you may remember, I'm a big V fan. I enjoyed the show's first season immensely. However, Warner Bros., who produces V, is ruining Season 2 for me.

I was so excited about the premiere. The spoiler clips I saw at NYCC this year were great, and the cast seemed so excited with what's to come. However, the night of the premiere, life got in the way and I missed it. Now I wasn't worried, I knew that I could watch it online. I waited until I had a chance to go on hulu to check it out.

Little did I know that Warner pulled the streaming rights for the show. Not even ABC can show it on their player. I even resorted to trying to get it illegally, but I all I got was a stinkin' virus.



Now, I'm no expert, but if you have a show on the bubble, don't you want to make it available to fans, not to mention, potential new viewers? It seems a little backwards to me to cut off fans. And this happening after the Buffy movie drama makes me think that Warner Bros is out to kill everything I love. Not that I'm paranoid......

Please Warner Bros. GIVE ME BACK MY V!

  1. I can't claim to understand decisions when it comes to online streaming. I felt the same way when at one point SYFY decided to air Star Gate: Universe episodes THIRTY DAYS after they aired.

  2. I agree. Studios need to understand that they need to provide multiple points of access for their shows at the same time. Even if that means selling it on iTunes. In today's internet based world, if you aren't out there, you don't exist.
