- Morena Baccarin is excellent Anna is a calculative, intelligent, scary, charming, dangerous, predatory and inspiring, all at the same time. She's giving Satan a run for his money for the title of best evil overlord.
- The Lisa character and her real relationship with Tyler is shrouded in mystery. Does she love him? Can she love him? What will happen when Erica find out Lisa is a V? What's Anna planning to do with him?
- Ryan's baby. Is it really his? Is it implanted by the V? Is it an hybrid? Why did the V didn't see it was an hybrid. Or maybe they did and they'll come down on her and Ryan very soon.
- By neglecting Tyler, Erika is sowing the seeds of her own destruction. She's s obsessed by her crusade, she forgot to protect her son. Why didn't she tell him who the V really where? Isn't a priest credible enough as a witness for Tyler?
- Chad Decker and the V uses of the media. I work in the media myself, and this is the best allegory for the power of the media I've ever seen. Great job.
So all in all, I'm disapointed the show doesn't come back before March. But there's no way in hell I won't be there in March. Can't wait.

Whatsername finds out Whatshisname is a V (side note: that's *annoying*), and her first question ISN'T "Okay, what's Anna's *real* plan?" WTF? Isn't she supposed to be an FBI agent? What, they're going to spend a few episodes piecing together what one guy could easily spell out for them?

Most people probably thinks that Chestnut is concerned that he knocked his girlfriend up and she'll find out he's a lizard. I'm guessing he's really concerned because he's had a lizard vasectomy and knows he can't knock her up, and therefore he knows the Vs are artificially inseminating human women at the health centers.

I'm assuming that the idea was to peel away the human skin... they cut away though, unless I missed something, we don't know if he actually skinned the guy or not, or if that screaming was meant to fake out the other Vs.

...i mean biology not how could they have sex....it's Morris Chestnut, of course she had sex with him.

And while he's on this journey, if he's anything like me, he'd be making up nonsense songs to keep himself entertained. "Fucking shit fuck, gonna fuck the V girl, maybe her mom... mAYBE her moommmmm, yeah", then of course there's that next red light coming up.
That's maybe 35 minutes of screentime, give or take? But at least it's realistic. Actually to make it even more realistic, just get rid of the spaceships. And, the Visitors. I'm not buying that this could happen in real life.
And did you notice how they never use Mac software, when they are using macs? What am I supposed to think, that right now in NYC there's this whole other OS that I've never even heard of, that's way more polished than Mac OSX? That is fucking insulting.
On top of that, the V technology... don't even get me started. It just floats there? And it's all in RED? Why, because red is the "evil" color? Yeah I really believe that.
Oh and one more thing. You mean to tell me, that on some distant planet, a species of life evolved that is the EXACT size, and shape, of the human body, works the same way, is a freaking lizard species nonetheless... yet, all they have to do to blend in is create some synthetic skin that makes them look human? HELLO? This shows how LAZY the writers are.
So, obviously this show is a huge failure. I hope it bombs.
But, don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE fan of science fiction, and I definitely want to support the genre, but THIS garbage? Hell to the no.

I also like that the scale has been ramped up from the original mini-series. The whole invasion fleet seems so much more menacing.

Plus if they'd shown it, we'd probably get a dose of sub-par ABC special effects which would totally ruin the mystique...

The show already had the weird Obama comparisons, now it's kind of anti-vaxx?
I'm sure it's all just hackneyed story-telling, but man, I can see the crazies just glomming on to that.
