I enjoyed it a lot more than last week's. Like how they are keeping the story going, bringing up new questions every episode. They really do need to start making the human characters more interesting though, find myself tuning out a bit, whereas the scenes with the Vs have my full attention.
Ooo only one more episode until what? March? April? I bet ABC are kicking themselves after how well it debuted.

No! I really wanted Dale to live. Alan Tudyk did an amazing job, as always. Dude, aliens put out fast...well ,try to put out. Lisa = cock-blocker! lol. I really can't stand Marcus (the second in command V). Did you guys know that Famke Janssen turned down the role of Anna?

She is sexy and scary at the same time. I liked the episode better than last weeks. I agree that most of the plot lines were predictable, but still worth watching. The V doctor was definately awesome and I did not see it coming. I suspected that Lisa was playing Ty, but I didn't think she was Anna's daughter. I also think that she will eventually fall in love with Tyler and betray Anna.

March 2010, eh? That's a long wait... wonder how that gamble will pay off. As for tonight's ep... entertaining, but definitely still trucking along the predictable path. Even the opening shot (whoa... pun, really?) was ridiculously canned. But in general, I don't find myself just removed from the moment and thinking about how slick the entire production is, so I'll just say it and move on. The mother-son dynamic is coasting along the usual teen boy/single mother angst. There are moments that bring a smile to my face, like when she teased him about the half-naked girl in his room... but there are few of those. Alien substances in human vaccines... oh well, the paranoid conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with that one. Interesting and controversial, but perhaps not the most convenient plotline to toss about... after all, there are people who believe that global warming catastrophes are caused by radicals just because Michael Crichton wrote about it. The alien doctor plotline was predictable. Knew right from the start that the other guy would take the fall, so that the doc can continue. Pity... skinned guy was cute. The thing with the "bliss" was interesting... wonder how far reaching Anna's influence is, and if certain people are more susceptible to it... the rebels seemed immune, though alien doc seemed comforted by it. Loved the choice of Sigur Ros for the "bliss" montage, though. What else... oh, pregnancy... totally called that one. Wouldn't be surprised if that's how they track down their traitor alien guy... I'm sure there'll be something about alien DNA or whatnot. Also saw some medical problem with the news reporter guy coming up... Oh, and final gripe... there was a metallic thunk sound in deep space! Seriously... sound in vacuum? The Star Trek movie got it right, so there really shouldn't be an excuse for that anymore, given how popular that movie was.

Well I thought it was a good episode. The Flu vaccines and pregnancy were great additions to the plot. I like how you are seeing just how far the Vs have infiltrated our race. I thought the part where you see the engine room was cool. I still want to know what Anna wants with Tyler?? I also thought the bliss part was interesting. I think Morena gets better and better with each episode. She is great as Anna.

It was probably my favorite episode yet, but I do agree with Xi about how predicitable the show is. Still entertaining though. Just really enjoyed the pacing, and I loved all the V stuff we got: a lot of Anna, the inner workings of the ship, more of their plan and even more questions.
I'm still not liking any of the human characters though, Erica has her moments, but there isn't anything unique about them. Some background, but all they do is talk shop. No voices.

I'm just starting to watch V and I'm very surprised they are taking such a long break.
What is up with these breaks, anyhow? Seems like as soon as I get into a Season storyline they break for months. They lose viewers over the break, what's the heavy?

Is it just me or did anyone else get déjà vu about Anna's power-bliss over the other V's and humans being like Jasmine's power over everyone on Angel?....Both their power is to show them complete happiness and no fear or worry and then in turn get everyone's complete devotion.
I agree with some others in that the plots/story-lines/characters are pretty predictable, but i'm sill really liking the show, and i can't wait 'til the next ep!

I've actually missed the last few episodes. :/ I didn't feel like watching! I mainly continued for Alan, and some other chartacters that I enjoyed, but I got tired of this. I'll try to catch up some time ,though.

Loved the choice of Sigur Ros for the "bliss" montage, though. I actually paid attention through that whole scene just because of Sigur Rós.

Just bumping this up since the show is back tonight. So excited. ETA: Woah. Great minds. Maybe Anna blissed us. Really hope the long hiatus didn't kill it. It left with good ratings and I hope it comes back with them. Lost and V seem like a good fit, although Lost has been proven to suck as a lead-in. Too much excitement and brain exploding-ness for viewers to start another hour of television I guess. If one good thing comes out of the hiatus, I hope it's that the writers really started developing the human characters and pulled together a tighter story.

I'm excited. This show has a ton of potential and I'm really pulling for it. My only major issue with the series so far is that the writing tends to get a bit bland. There's no zip or pep yet in the dialogue to match the exciting action sequences. I love Elizabeth Mitchell, so I really want this to take off and be successful.
Ugh, 3 late hours of TV tonight though. Lost, then V and then Justified. My brain is in for a workout.

I thought tonight's episode was pretty good. I loved it when Ryan's girlfriend (I forget her name) found the dead mouse. XD Just bumping this up since the show is back tonight. So excited. ETA: Woah. Great minds. Maybe Anna blissed us.

Didn't notice any change in this episode from the last four. Some good, some meh. The new character seems like a great addition though, can't wait to see how that plays out. The ending was very cool. I can't get enough of the V mythology.
Just please make the human characters more interesting.
