Hobbes is out for himself and I am sure whatever he is doing is for his own good.
I like the guy, my favorite character so far on V, and losing him from the 5th column would really suck. The 5th needs a bad ass and Erica isn't cutting it in my opinion.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I like Erica's character, with the exception of the fact that she's constantly hamstrung with her Wesley Crusheresque kid far too much. It's a typical Hollywood plot device that I'd like to see deep-sixed where all teen characters in adult drama are automatically so stupid they couldn't listen to sense (i.e. at this point, if Erica actually told Tyler about it, he'd probably rat her out.).Fourman said:
There are quite a few elements of Idiot Plotting in V though; i.e. the fact that nobody really questions why the Vs look human nor the fact that none of the 5th Column guys thought to publicize the fact that the Vs are actually lizardmen as a way to galvanize support for their anti-V activities.

I am excited to see the V's true form. Hopefully it isn't horrible CGI lizards standing on two feet. :lol

Is it going to be a 2 hours final? I thought the first season was a full 13 episodes one and so far, only 11 episodes have aired.
Also it says renewed, but I thought only the first season was 13 episodes long but that the next 3 ones were supposed to be 24 episodes (like regular seasons)

You should watch the last two or three episodes.
Jesus... with that ending, I half expected to see a couple badass marines shouting "Let's attack aggressively!" And then they go after Red Falcon.
What was the whole cloud bit anyway? Mass ships entering the atmosphere? Terraforming to their atmosphere? Get everyone high on LSD?

It was so good to see at least a bit of the spirit of the 80s series in the show.
It's been almost completely devoid of it thus far.

The CGI is as horrid as ever, but if the show's writing and acting can maintain that level of quality, I'll forgive it.teiresias said:

Interesting point someone brought up on another forum:
We kinda knew this already, but Anna's breakdown confirms it.
Glad I've stuck with it, that was a pretty awesome episode. Unfortunately I have by doubts about the future of the show, I mean, they can't keep it like the last 3-4 episodes, given the clusterfuck it was when the show started.
Oh: and the godawful CGI. I wonder if they didn't show the baby because the budget was limited to just the tail part. :lol

The ending felt like they thought they were not going to get renewed...
"Let's turn the sky red"
"Why"
"Fucked if I know"
"Okay"
"Same shit CGI as the rest of the show?
"Sure"
I am guessing whatever that is about will be retconed 10 minutes into season 2, as there is no way there are filming every outside scene under a red light next season

They'll probably pick one of those, but my point is I don't think they are sure where they are going right now.

holy shit, that last ep was amazing!!!
(and that's saying a lot considering this week's 24 and LOST eps were amazing too)
Anna is cooooooooold blooded!
and they even addressed the one big gripe i had with the show.
even as a kid when i watched the original, i knew what V stood for, and it really upset me when they called the Visitors V's...

The episode was great, but this series is so full of bad CGI, writting, actors and charmless characters that I can't watch it seriously. There is so much potential here, sadly wasted.
the CGI is fine. Its not as even the whole show is CGI anyway, only parts of it are bad, which the red clouds struck me as bad.
Awesome episode. Though im curious as to why they reanimated Joshua(glad they did as he was one of my favorite characters) and maybe it was just me but marcos seemed happy to have reanimated him.

Was it me, or were the noises made by the eggs the same sound as Zerg eggs?

Wow, so much happened last episode. Its great! Really kicked the show into overdrive.
I think Marcus is either another faction or part of Fifth Column. Marcus wouldn't have to know Hobbes was Fifth Column to recruit him (we never found out what he wanted Hobbes to do).

I really enjoyed the finale. I was borderline after the first 5-6 episodes, but the show really improved the last 3-4 episodes.
Joshua and Anna are probably my two favorite characters. Hobbs at first seemed like a poor man's Sawyer, but he's starting to grow on me too. It's also interesting to see what they do with Ryan.
The Priest and Juliet are somewhat bland to me. And of course I hate Wesley Crusher. He needs to get eaten.
I don't think the CGI is that bad (except for the awful red clouds and composite reptile mouths). The ship doesn't feel like a giant blue screen.
Anyway, I'm happy the show got renewed and that the ratings are picking up a bit. Btw, I don't think Marcus is a part of 5th element. He just needs to get additional information out of Joshua since Anna knows he didn't act alone.
I like how they're keeping the natural alien form a mystery, but I just hope it doesn't end up being really lame or cheesy once they do reveal it.

I'm glad this show is getting another season. I like this show because it's 'plucky'. And by plucky I mean it clearly has a modest budget and has had some serious creative problems behind the scenes from the start.
But despite this it's actually managed to evolve into a soild little show.
-- Let's see the resistance grow to more than just four people who don't even seem to be in the same room together much. Perhaps even become more International. Let's see London, Tokyo, even Afghanistan and how the V's and the resistance are operating .
-- Let's see Hobbes kick some alien arse. He's an interesting character who seems to spend most of his time in a basement with some PCs.
-- How does the V presence tie into UFO mythology? Is Area 51 even relevant? Where do the military and the CIA stand in all this?
I think this show has a real chance to ramp things up in it's second season and become a 'must see' show because it's certainly not there yet, but it's on it's way.
That's what I was thinking. I can see Marcus forming a renegade faction to destroy the V Royalty and try to take control of the fleet for himself.
