V: John May

Is the narrative of this show moving swiftly or did I spend too much time with the first half of Stargate Universe season one? Speaking of shows on the Syfy network, John May is Michael Trucco, but you might know him as Sam Anders from BSG! That was an inspired bit of casting considering this actor is no stranger to fighting in resistance movements. Unfortunately, Ryan had to go and kill John May 10 years ago thus negating the awesome factor almost entirely.

Ryan was a V sent by Anna to kill John May. John May somehow escaped Ryan and moved his entire family to an undisclosed location for a period of one year. After a year had passed Ryan caught up to John May and killed him. By this point Ryan was feeling human emotion and felt bad about killing him. At John's funeral, which he inexplicably attended, Ryan touched John's step-sons face while he was crying and had a moment of understanding. That moment was observed by Valerie, thus beginning their relationship.

A relationship that may have just ended due to that locksmith's decision to let a wife into her husband's secret vault. The passports with fake names would most likely freak a spouse out. The gun that she did not know existed could cause a rift. The fact that the safe was behind a false wall that she only just discovered does not build trust. I would have to say that the ultrasound picture of the baby with the giant tail is the most damning discovery Val made. Ryan made his bed last episode with the spiked tea and now he has to sleep in it.

I would now like to pat myself on the back for calling that Tyler's dad was not Tyler's dad. Except I cannot say that I saw the parthenogenesis angle coming, that twist was new. Tyler's girlfriend is a bit of a spy and a manipulator. Why is she more important to Anna than the rest of her children?

Now to eulogize Georgie. You were responsible for getting Erica to meet Ryan. Well that about sums it up. I will say that scourge bugs were horribly nasty and I am glad you do not have to deal with them anymore.
