That's just weird!

What do you mean.. when you click.. on the spoiler button.. do you not see the picture?

[moyer777]

nope, no picture.  Let me try in firefox

OH MY GOSH! Finally watched the newest episode and...OH MY GOSH!!! This show rocks! Can't wait for next week...

[Dangelus]

Definitely upping the game this season. Enjoyed s02e01.

[RickPeete]

That picture reminds me of the decepticon that turned into a dog to get into that military installation. lol

I watched the the 2nd season premiere episode and enjoyed it.  Definitely tighter and more interesting than most of season one.  I like the new scientist guy - they need a scientist type on this fifth column team.  But I still have one overall problem with this series - and that's the way they portray the public.  I have a real hard time believing so many people just seem to buy into everything the "V" tell them.  I mean red rain - oh, no worries that's all good for Earth.  We believe you Anna - sure whatever you say.  Hey - weren't you on "Firefly?"  LOL (that's just a little joke).

But, I believe many more people would be very suspicious of what the V are up to really.  I mean, Hollywood has told us for years that aliens are mainly here to enslave and conquer us - right?  I know they have the healing centers, but really how many people have those helped?  Probably a very small portion of the population.  Anyway, it just seems off to me that everyone seems to buy into all this so easily.  Just doesn't fit to me.  People in general are not so trusting.  Especially these days.  Anyway, just my thoughts.

I think that it's more a matter of choosing to believe. I mean, what else do you have? You either take them at face value or you fall into a major depression because they will destroy us.

I think that's also another key part. If someone has enough firepower to decimate everything and anything, but they don't, you'd tend to buy the party line that they are of peace. It's been clearly established that we can't do much of anything against them in a fight, so I guess that's where the people are. The fact that they haven't exterminated us seems to validate their stance. Other wise, it's a kind of circular reasoning. "The V are bad and out to get us, but they haven't done it when they have the power to do so." For most people, the simplest explanation is the best one and that seems to be what the masses are following.

[Geekyfanboy]

First let me say that I agree with you Rico.. that was my one big thing when it premiered last year.. everyone panic when the ships arrive but as soon as Anna talks to them.. everyone was happy.

But if you listen to the news reports there is mass rioting and panic when the red Sky's happen.. So things aren't so happy happy. But of course she says it's all to benefit the planet and most people are content.. maybe Anna has a way of calming the humans.. I mean she has her Bliss with the V's maybe she has something over the humans as well.

[QuadShot]

I think it's more of a snake thing. I mean, cobra's have a way of mesmerizing their prey into a sort of trance, allowing them to strike. Maybe that's what Ana is doing too? Maybe when she talks, humans (the prey), are kind of entranced and just accept what she says?

[RickPeete]

Or maybe it is just that most guys are focused on how attractive the visitor female form is and wonder how she would be in the sack (just saying... not judging...)

I mean isn't that what all the teenagers in the series seem to talk about?

That is why the lead person in the resistance is female and a mother -- she doesn't care about any of that and can focus on the threat.  Plus you have the celibate priest, he cannot have those thoughts either; the mercenary guy who only loves himself so he is unaffected; the visitor who is already in love with a human; and now the scientist who is too nerdy to notice. lol

Yeah, I am a cynic at times.

A thought:I think the resistance should get their new scientist to break down the ingredients of that pill that the Visitors use as a suicide pill.  I mean it disintegrates the Visitors when taken by mouth.  So they figure out if it is harmful to humans, and if not, they manufacture it and disburse it (like the human version of Red Rain) into the water table and food supplies.  (Just like the Red Dust in the original mini-series).

Voila! Story over, series ended.  Time for the next SciFi show!  LOL

I don't really think Anna has some way to mesmerize the masses of humans.  Her Bliss doesn't even work on all the V anymore.  Here's the real answer I think.  They can only show so many rebels, fifth column folks.  They want the core actors to take down the V.  So if the public is kind of oblivious to what they are really doing, it serves the show better.  I still say it doesn't make sense.  Superior fire power doesn't mean you come in peace.  Human history sure has proved that time and time again.  Again, I think it's just convenient for the series.  I just thought it was kind of funny that when the red rain hit everyone got all worked up and just seemed to stop when Anna finally told them it was to heal the planet.  If that was really true why did she go silent for awhile?  I'm still not sure why they want to breed with us.  Seems like that would contaminate their gene pool even more.  Anyway, we'll see what happens.

So, I was just going over to Hulu to find out when the first episode of s2 was going to expire (so I'd know how fast I had to watch s1), and found that rights to full episodes were no longer available.  So I went over to ABC.com, to see if full episodes would be there, and found this lame "statement" about online availability:
http://abc.go.com/shows/v/full-episodes

Fellow V fans,
It is with much regret that we must inform you that full episodes of V will not be available on ABC.com or Hulu for Season 2. Just like you, we truly wish full episodes were playing here. But we also hope our detailed recaps will keep you informed and entertained should you ever miss an episode.
Best always,
The ABC.com Team

It's the network's website, no?  So if you wish they were playing there, play them there.  I don't understand this.  Are they taking lessons from SyFy?  Harumph.
