V: A Bright New Day

"We are of peace, always." Sure you guys are of peace.  V's are of the kind of peace that is obtained through treachery and carrots, Machiavelli would approve (I may have mixed a few metaphors there).

George Bush wishes he could have turned Cindy Sheehan the way Anna flipped the face of her protest movement... The preceding comment may have been a bit political for some, so if you were offended in some way, the following is a similarly overly wordy metaphor with a video game company instead... Anna must have learned a thing or two from Valve when they turned the "Left for Dead 2" protesters into excited fans http://bit.ly/YePmz (I am a man of many varied interests)

The V resistance is called the 5th Column, I'd like to know what the four other columns of V society are.  I bet one of them is the mind meld/Matrix juice that Anna is pushing to the brains of the loyal V's.  How does a handgun turn V's into a human shaped pile of dust?  Is Ryan now in possession of some crazy V vaporizing tech?

Human resistance was gearing up as well.  Our less than plucky heroes Erica and Jack were able to meet up with Georgie and Ryan.  Honestly, it's more like 3 and 1/2 humans but you get the point.  I'm guessing out of our fantastic four Georgie is not long for this world and does not make it past next weeks finale.  Though you'd think Erica was one the chopping block considering she broke into the secret V survellance room, got herself on camera, and was outed as a significant threat by Dale.

I must admit that when the Dr. killed Dale I geeked out (you can picture your own visual) because I simply did not see that coming.  On one hand I'm bummed that Alan Tudyk was permanently killed off this series but on the other I was thrilled with the fact that 5th Column members have infiltrated Anna inner circle.

Erica's son, Tyler, is "the one". If we follow the Matrix allusion does that mean he gets to take the blue pill and a direct line into Anna's secret sauce (that wasn't meant to read as dirty as it did)? I can't decide if this makes Tyler more or less interesting.

One more episode in this pod and then no new V until... well I'm not sure a simple Google search bore no fruit. I must say that I'm not thrilled about waiting for new episodes but if the rating stay strong I guess ABC can trickle these things out as they see fit.  Here's hoping the ratings stay rock solid!
