There were flaws inVs first four episodes.
She plays Anna, the V leader, like a combination of royalty and devious politician.
Sure, all the actors look like theyre stiffly walking through a thin greenscreen platform.
In fact, I like everything about Scott Wolf on this show.
Unfortunately, he keeps on getting pushed aside to make room for…
The Bad: La Resistance
Elizabeth Mitchell?
Makes every line sound a little bit wry, makes killer one-liners really sing.
Hes a pair of lizard-skin boots now?
Intense actor who brings a light touch to a difficult part.
I had no idea what that meant, but I liked it.
Father Jack has a laundry-list of somewhat cliche character traits (A priest whose faith has been shaken!
Also, he was a soldier, or something!
), and Georgie has hobo facial hair and not much else.
Work with morally ambiguous arms dealers!
They just arent assmart, and the show seems to be making their job way too easy.
Take that Kyle Hobbs guy.
But lets go with it.
Anyway, Erica had an inkling that her dead V partner might have been tracking Kyle and his ilk.
Late in the episode, Father Jack delivered the worst line of the night.
Revenge for a family slaughtered.
Theres clearly some cool stuff in the Resistance subplot.
I like how Father Jack has now been compromised by Vitamin R6.
But to me, the coolest rebel is Doctor Joshua, the Fifth Columnite on the Mothership.
The Ugly: Copulation Station (Whats Your Equation?)
Shes hungry all the time, and not just for carbs.
Hands up, everyone who thought she was actually going to eat the dead rodent!
Anna had been talking about building an army.
I assumed that was metaphorical, that she meant to build an army of V-loving humans.
But she was being extremely, extremely literal.
Cut to: Annas foggily lit chambers.
Mr. Beefcake has a glazed expression on his face, and no clothes on.
Anna lowers herself onto him and pushes his face away.
My army is to be born.
Mr. Beefcake was so happy!
Alas, Ann didnt want the father to be someone she would have to see socially.
However, I should note that Laura Vandervoort is shockingly good at playing a character with no emotions.
What did you think ofVs return, viewers?
Are you going to stick with this show even if Georgie still refuses to shave?
Do you agree with me that the Resistance subplot is lagging?
And should the pregnant chick just cowboy up and eat the darn rat, already?
