Elizabeth Mitchell still has some nice boobs. Thought the "sex" scene was a bit rushed though between the two characters.

Liked the episode. It was cool seeing Anna frustrated with her plans not going as expected.

Jack really needs to get his head out of his ass. It was so petty for him to get pissed at Erica for shooting the security guard.

The V ambassador in China dying was a cool way to get the episode going. Who here thought it should have been Tyler instead of Rafael?

Elizabeth Mitchell is gorgeous, but the sex scene with her and Charles Mesure was no forced and unnecessary. I really didn't get the impression at all there was any sexual tension between Erica and Hobbes. I do like how Erica has evolved into a cold and angry leader and has lost alot of her humanity in this fight.

I've bailed for the last couple of episodes. Has the V's evil plan been clarified any? I mean clarified beyond:

1) Increase the levels of phosphorus in humans
2) Mate with selected humans (the more annoying and whiny the better)
3) ?????
4) Profit!

No, but the writers seem to have an abyssmal understanding of how DNA works. They are painfully extracting it from the live-aboards in some torturous machine, and mixing everybody's DNA together in a big vat, like a pot of soup. It is not clear how this will make better lizards.

And the "special" people with missing DNA seem to be going FUBAR at an alarming rate.

Some cool visuals but nothing significant really happened. Looks like next week's will have something of consequence.

Yay! Another completely random and illogical plot twist! By the time this is over we'll find out that Erica is actually the lizard queen.

And I, for one, am glad Jack still has a conscience if for no other reason than it gives him more than 1 dimension, unlike the rest of the fifth wheel, er, column.

Why did that bio facility have their alarm rigged to only sound in the lobby?

There has been eps where you could tell she had a nice set but yes I agree....wow!!!!

As far as the show is going this season and this past episode, as much as I love the original V and as much as I really liked the first season of this reincarnated version.....this is getting pretty bad. They need to end this and be done with it. One more season is only going to make it worse. IMO....

I honestly can't imagine what would be happening to these characters if this goes on for another season's worth of episodes.

That's why TV writers get paid the big bucks.

whoa there, easy now..

Clearly you have not been poking around the threads for the show on before V, as in No Ordinary Family.. by ep one we already were calling that one kid Chaka (as in Land of the Lost) and bitching as he became this smug character on the show..

IMO I think stat for stat Chaka takes down Tyler for most annoying recurring character on tv right now! At least when Tyler shows up on screen in V one or two of the the show's hotties shows up a few seconds later..
Even his mom is smoking hot.

as for this ep, meh about what I expect from the show really. Some bad CGI work, cheesy story line and ep over.. To be honest I still REALLY like the show. lol.. I'm just a sucker for the over all theme I guess. I watched the old school version all the time and it's not like the plot line moved forward all that much back then too..

and of course, here are your random gratuitous screen shots of the leader of the V resistance ..

To me, the character of Tyler isn't the problem; the actor is. For fuck's sake, I cannot stand that kid.

While we're (rightfully) on the subject of Elizabeth Mitchell's rack, I have to recommend Gia.
Mitchell + Angelina Jolie =

I would hope Elizabeth Mitchell's V wouldn't give me too much resistance...

I think the character Tyler AND the actor suck. The writers have him say a line like "I love being a shuttle pilot"... really? WTF? You are on an advanced space ship that has NOT taken you into space and you are seeing technology bigger than your wildest imagination... but you like shuttling fools from the ground to 500 feet in the air.

While the dialog is admittedly terrible, I would have shit my pants as an 18 year old being able to fly an alien shuttle. I still wasn't over how cool it was to be driving a car at that age.
