My motivation to watch "V" was pretty low already; the original series was awful. So what are they doing to peak my interest? Why, pre-announcing that they intend to fail:

ABC is only going to show four episodes of its V remake this year before taking the show off the air until spring, following a complete halt in production earlier this year. ABC says the other nine episodes will eventually be shown, but TV insiders are apparently telling Variety the series' 13 episode order might get cut down

Yeah, that kind of thing really makes me want to invest time in the show...
