Thought last nights episode was the best I've seen so far. Couple of quick thoughts:


1. The widow of the solider who was killed - when Anna spoke to her in private - was she killed? I'm assuming her change of heart wasn't real, but was a V speaking in her place.

2. How bout that hot ass blond V in her underware?

3. The message spraypainted on the kitchen door - JOHN MAY LIVES - is that the name of the black guy? If not - what does it mean.


I really enjoy this show.

1. Wife asked me that too. I'm not sure. Now, in the original series, one of the "powers" of the visitors was their power of persuasion, which bordered on brainwashing/mind-control. Of course, the original series in '83 was a thinly veiled modern reworking of the Nazi party/fascism, right down to the "V ambassador program," which represents Hitler's Youth Corp. So, while this new series modernizes a lot of what was in the '83 mini-series, I think it's still rooted deeply in its own cult sci-fi universe, so my first guess is no, the widow was not killed and replicated. At least, I hope not, because that'd be too Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and not V.

2. My wife looked at me and said, "What are you smiling for?" during that scene.

3. The black guy's name is Ryan, I think. "John May" is the legendary leader of "The Fifth Column," the traitor/resistance movement. John May may wind up being an alias for somebody already introduced, nobody at all, an anagram for something else ... I don't think we know that yet. The name 'The Fifth Column' was also used in the original show, but there was no John May character or reference.

That V chick thing who's playing the douchebag son of the hot FBI mom is fucking smokin'.

I still enjoy this show. Just watched episode 3 on Hulu to get caught up. Sometimes, it's nice to watch something different and out there. Better than watching fake hospitals and crime scenes.

There might be the hot V girl in a bikini shown in this link: http://www.majorspoilers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/laura_vandervoort_4.jpghttp://www.celebrity-gossip.net/images/thumbnails/laura-vandervoort-set-5158-18.jpg

Do the blondes (FBI agent & the priest) ever stop stinking up the joint? Those two have made the first two episodes pretty unwatchable, whether it's them or the lines they are given (probably both).

I've enjoyed Flash Forward from ABC, but I'm suffering through this series with the wife (about the only time I have to do that)

Nothing about those characters has really changed, and the son is still annoying. I'm glad that kid isn't real. No way he could attract a hot alien.

Watched the final episode of this part last night. Kind of expected a little more with it. But, still liked it. Something different.

I was a fan of the first series, but this one just lacks interest. I think this one won't get past one season(8 episodes? what ever that is now days on TV).

For how a SciFi series could be done watch "Flash Forward". A much better series and story line.


"Then there's John May-- a name that strikes anxiety even to the V's in command. He's some sort of a legendary figure among the Visitors and has the money and power for the Fifth Column to thrive. " Wonder if they'll bring back Mark Singer as John May?

I may have missed it/misinterpreted it, but in the final episode, when Anna does her speech via telepathic 'bliss,' one of the throw-away shots in the montage of people in the street looking up to the sky appeared to include the widow of the fighter pilot. If that's correct, then yeah, she was killed and replaced with a V. If it was her, and still human, she wouldn't have heard it. I don't know, may have been any random brunette in the street, but I was thinking it was the widow from the previous episode when I saw it.

I didn't notice this. It makes sense though. I'm a little upset that there aren't any new episodes until March. Flashforward and V have been pretty good remakes for ABC. Screw original ideas, we'll just use old ones. :lol: But it's worked.
