V: Birth Pangs

Anna’s master plan is revealed.

 Another great episode in a row reveals the master plan of Anna (Morena Baccarin) – she wants to harvest human DNA of Earth’s best and brightest to jumpstart the evolution of her people. That is why she’s expressed such an interest in Tyler (Logan Huffman), whom she says is now expendable in this episode due to his low phosphorus levels (essential for breeding with Vs), even after the Red Rain.

Upon assuming the leadership of the Fifth Column, merging her cell into a global organization, Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) is more brutal and hard-nosed than she’s ever been. She wasn’t above torturing a Visitor, who happened to be the OB-GYN that messed with her pregnancy with Tyler 18 years ago.

This new and edgy Erica doesn’t go unnoticed by Hobbes (Charles Mesure), another hard ass, and he seems turned on by the whole thing. In fact, the two even come close to kissing in what was a very awkward moment for Erica. Is there romantic tension in the air?

If this show would be surviving past this season, perhaps there’d even be a love triangle between her, Hobbes, and the now former Fr. Jack (Joel Gretsch). The creators of the original V planned on doing a love triangle between Julie (Faye Grant), Donovan (Marc Singer), and Tyler (Michael Ironside) but the show got axed – something that seems to be a tradition with V.

The creators are cranking up the action in the hopes that the series’ll go out with a bang. ABC owes the fans that much.

I agree this season is starting to pick up.  NOT GREAT, but getting better and I am looking to the next episode.

It grown by leap and bounds over the last few episodes, but I think it may be too little too late

 I really hope this show sticks around for another season. I've liked it from the start. Now I don't even worry about it DVRing. I just watch it when it airs and watch NCIS LA later. If they do cancel it, then I hope they at least finish it. GIVE ME AN ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to be left hanging, like seems to happen all too often.
