Erica seeks revenge against Anna with a mission in Hong Kong. Tyler just might be useless to Anna after she discovers his phosphorus levels aren't high enough. An alliance between Lisa and Diana is forged.
 
Not sure why they needed to shave Tylers head, is that the V prerequisite for being a pilot.. lol So Ryan survived..still annoying. Lisa..still hot..
 
I don't know why, this show is trashy and stupid but I'm not bored watching this. I do like the way they seem to be desperately throwing in everything to hold a viewer's attention. From this I refer to the amping up the Fifth Column's international scope, the revelation of the the V's plan for humanity (thank God it wasn't to steal our water!) and all the chess pieces being moved into place. It's too bad it wasn't like this in the beginning. They might've been in a better position to be renewed.

I think they were trying desperately to make Tyler "cool." Unfortunately, the character's sheer unlikeability came through just as strongly as before...
 
I didn't understand why or how this week sucked less.

It sucked a lot less.

Either they figured out how to make an episode or some new finally got a turn at the stick.

I think it's because they focused a little more on the Vs this episode.

I was highly entertained and saw this episode as an improvement.
 
I enjoyed this episode quite a bit, but I was ripped out of the moment when I realized exactly where in Vancouver they were to shoot those scenes in "Taiwan." It's a lovely little park in the city's China Town, and we visited there just last year. My partner and I caught it at the same moment. We watched as the Fifth Column met under such serious tensions... and then suddenly we were laughing out loud. :D
 
I liked this episode for the most part. The rationale of using humans to speed up their evolution works better than the whole killing souls thing. I wish they had just gone with that from jump.

So has Ryan's daughter's DNA been mixed up with the DNA from Anna's egg? So, she's Anna's daughter now too?

I'll have to watch again, I thought making sure Anna's Egg matures was a seperate situation from Age advancing Ryan's daughter? Age advancing her was an experiment (IE: She was the lab Rat) to ensure Anna's Egg had a better chance, I believe. This way, if Ryan's daughter died, the Egg was protected from going first.
 
Up to this point, Hobbs was probably thinking that all he had to do to save the day was kill Tyler because he was the irreplaceable x-factor that all of Anna's plans rested upon.

Killing another 28 teenage boys is probably not 29 times harder. Maybe 3 times as hard?
 
Good lord. I came across someone while lurking on another board who thinks V is a great show and well written to boot. He even bends over backward to come up with stupid fan wank explanations to justify all the stupid plot developments and contrivances. Was TrekBBS like that for Enterprise and Voyager? :lol:
 
It's still like that for Voyager Forum, and if you disagree with their manifesto, they call you sexist.

Such fun!
 
Just now got around to watching this week's episode. I have to say that this is the only episode so far that hasn't totally sucked.

Why couldn't it be like this from the start?

*crosses fingers*
Please GOD, let them kill Tyler. Please, please, please.
 
Agreed - just watched the episode myself and was amazed at how good it was. I'm actually interested to see what happens next!
