Red Dog

For such an advanced species, they have the worst security ever. at that gun fight - the special effects in the original 25 years ago were better than that.

Patman

Most of the scenes on the V-ships are horrible, and embarrassing in this day and age. It's like that have no budget and have to rely on cheap animation techniques for their backgrounds and backdrops.

Jason

Yeah, she gave a great performance there. I'm glad they didn't go with the hokey alien-razor-mouth shot they had in the promo.

I thought they had surveillance everywhere? I can understand not having any cameras in Anna's private chambers, but no camera pointed at the door? The hallway out front? No V saw the conversation between Juliet and Joshua?

PhantomStranger

The show is really very mindless sci-fi, with few of the issues an alien species coming to Earth would likely generate. You can bet that human leaders would be asking all sorts of questions in public that this show has not even touched. Why does an alien race from across the galaxy look identical to humans? The show is tolerable if you turn your brain off and accept the horrible CGI.

Joe Schmoe

Ever watch Battlestar Galatica?

JuryDuty

Yes, but to be fair, this show isn't near as smart as the first couple seasons of the new BSG. The cgi isn't near as good, there are huge loopholes (like the security in the mothership), but it still is fun. I'm enjoying it so long as I don't analyze it too much. At least they aren't making gigantic leaps ala Heroes.

A trifling loophole. How about the fact that after the first couple of episodes, in which it is established that the Vs monitor all terrestrial communication, including land lines, our heroes are still using unencrypted cell phones to communicate with each other?

Red Dog

I would assume they have the ability to monitor any communication they choose to pinpoint. It doesn't mean that they would be able to monitor every single communication made on Earth 24x7.

aynrandgirl

Why wouldn't they pinpoint Erica's cell phone and land line? Terrestrial law enforcement is surely a priority for monitoring.

Red Dog

I assume they could if they wanted to, but given that they don't suspect her of anything and have a mole as her right hand, they wouldn't seemingly have a need to.

The biggest problem is that the ships have less security than a Vegas casino.

Raul3

Great season finale.

I wonder if they filmed an alternate finale just in case they were canceled.

Flave

I thought the red sky was because the Vs are finally moving ahead with their takeover plan and the first step in that plan is to convert the Earth to their environment -- to "V-form" the planet. I suspect their home planet has a red sky (orbits a red giant star?).

Anyone who's a fan of Firefly knows that Morena can act but it was hard to tell this season as she played a Terminator-like role that required no emotions. Nice to see her let loose like that and show her range as an actress.

Was that Joshua that they revived on the table at the end?

Flave

Huh? Have you watched this show at all? The aliens are lizard-like and wear human "skins".

Red Dog

That's not what he meant. He was questioning how come nobody on Earth would be seriously questioning how an identical species could develop on a planet light years away.

JuryDuty

Yes. And I'm glad because I hated to see him go. It makes sense since he was only shot with a couple human bullets that probably didn't hurt him much.

wishbone

Was that questioned in the original? The only difference initially for the Visitors was their voice.

Red Dog

In the original, I remember the one scientist marveling at how they could have an identical evolution. Then they started rounding up all the scientists.

wishbone

Thanks, it's been awhile since I have see V and V: The Final Battle.

JuryDuty

Where'd you get the pic from wishbone? Are there other characters?

Snowmaker

Slayer's Raining Blood started going through my head at the end there.

wishbone

Here. I don't see other V characters posted.

Dr. DVD

Ok. Is Anna some kind of intergalactic sorceress ? Where does she get all of these powers to control so much?

Raul3

She's the Queen. I guess it's like with the ants.

spainlinx0

So, why did the priest send the letter to the medical bay? Why not send it to a part of the ship that they DON'T have inside guys there? I was completely confused as to the point of that other than to expose their own guys.

Giantrobo

Didn't the V's capture the priest and "Compromise" him? I figured it was something he couldn't help due to that capture...
