Wow, great episode!  Anybody have ideas for what Tyler is being groomed to do?? 
[spoiler]
I didn't love the part in the warehouse with the flu vaccine.  There were like 15 guys looking for them and they are firing guns off.  Their escape seemed entirely too easy.

Cool shot at the end with all the ships!  If they have that much fire power why are they playing this game with the humans, you'd think that they could just come and clean house!!   [/spoiler]

I guess we'll find this stuff out if they pick up the show.

Just when I get into the show more, now it's gone until March - but I knew that was coming.  Here are some guesses thoughts...

[spoiler]My guess for the kid would be to "hook up" with Anna's daughter and start having little baby lizards.  They may not know if V's and humans can have kids - although they seem to have told us with the other thing that came out towards the end of the episode with the 5th column guy and his girl.  My guess on the "vaccine" is to possibly turn humans into V's too - maybe.  I don't know what to think about all the extra ships on the way.  Maybe that's the 'cleanup' crew if Anna fails in her plan -whatever that is exactly.  Or are they ships of the 5th column folks?[/spoiler]

I enjoyed the episode too. I agree with Rico as far as Tyler's grooming.

[spoiler]I think they plan to use him to start hybrid experiments.

As for the purpose of the vaccines, The 5th Column members said the Visitors were planning to wipe out humanity. After seeing the armada of ships approaching Earth it made me think that their goal was to exterminate the humans they deemed unusable (for hybrid programs) and settle Earth...thus the use of the vaccine instead of just bombarding a perfectly good planet.

After seeing the "Bliss" scene,  I wondered if the V went through something tragic as a species. Maybe they lost their world. Ana keeps them happy/ in line, with her pheromones or brainwashing or whatever it was we saw. "Bliss" sort of reminds me of how they handled control in three different sci-fi genres. In Star Trek, the Jem Hedar were controlled through drugs. They think they needed it to survive. In Alien Nation, the slaves were controlled through drugs. It is the only thing they have to look forward to in their miserable lives. If you're an Star Wars EU Fan you may know of a species related to the Hutts that can control slaves through pheromones. The slaves thought these hutt-like people were priests and that they themselves were followers in some cult. 

Anyway, it sucks that we have to wait until March...IF it comes back on air. I think this hiatus is a huge mistake.[/spoiler]

Today, I finally saw the new "V" series. At first, I thought I would be lost since I hadn't seen the "A" through "U" series. I think I got the jist of ther story. Nice  to see that the Visitors have companions. One question, are the Visitors related to the Gorn?
Anyway, really liked the seies thus far, I just hope we do get more next March, I will believe it when I see it.

Casting calls have begun for episodes of V that are about to start shooting again. Here are three characters that they are currently looking for:

- First up is Erica's ex-husband, described as tall with a strength and maturity to him, but also having a deep, soft nature. He is not a cop or a soldier, but is perhaps a carpenter - very much a man. He'll likely be appearing in the first two episodes back, and possibly more.

- Ham Tyler fans will be interested in the character of "Hobbs" who will guest star in 7 of the 8 new episodes. He's a mercenary with "an enduring strength and intelligence." He's a weapons expert and a bomb maker with a lower middle class upbringing. He has a keen intelligence and is very resourceful.

- Finally, there's Dr. Leah Pearlman, a medical doctor who happens to be a Visitor and a part of the Fifth Column. She doesn't work on the ship, but she was sent to help undercover V's if they should need medical attention. This role is also recurring and is set to first appear in episode #4 as well.

Trucco Joins "V"
February 16, 2010 by Michael Hickerson   || Category: TV News

"Battlestar Galactica" alum Michael Trucco has signed on for a recurring role on ABC's "V" TV Guide reveals.

Trucco will play mysterious 5th Column resistance leader John May.

So far, May has been discussed as the leader and founder of the Fifth Column, an underground group of rebel Visitors that Ryan and Erica  have been attempting to resurrect.

Trucco will be seen in an episode that airs on April 13.

Hmm, if I were to choose a leader from BSG I would probably go with someone more like Tigh or Edward James Almos, or Dean Stockwell. Someone that looks wised not a pretty boy. But then again he could be an ancient V that has chosesn to look young. I would really love to see Hurley as John May, be awesome to see a puggy guy be actually very agile and battle ready

hey i need to know where to watched  v episodes
keep your finger light on the trigger

When you get down to it this is the story of two mothers right?  The human mother wants to do whatever to save her son, and the V mother wants to do what she needs to do to save her daughter (and species).  So which one would you want for your mother?  Both are easy on the eyes.  One is ready to shoot with her gun the other with a needle.  Think of the parallels here and say which one you would want!

[spoiler]Cool scene making the new army.  Smell out a good one, have a quickie, then pull a black widow on him[/spoiler]
