V: Pound of Flesh

Is there actually a point to Tyler's character other than blatant opposition to his mother? It seems obvious that the man we met as Tyler's father in "Pound of Flesh" is not actually his father. So the question then, who or what is Tyler's father? Maybe Tyler is the son of John May. It would certainly explain the V's uncharacteristic interest in the otherwise dull boy.

Who is John May? How did he begin the rebellion? Is he still alive or is that just the rallying call for the Fifth Column? If V's do not have emotion why in the world has Ana not killed all the humans on the planet? Is Ana Ferdinand and Isabella or Columbus?

Ryan just dug himself a tremendous hole. I understand that emotion is a new thing for some of the V's but deciding unilaterally to put the phosphorus into his fiancee's tea without explaining the consequences of that drink was unconscionable. How will he explain the lizard child to Valerie?

Poor Georgie was captured. He is going to have a rough time of it if the the V's really do not plan on killing him. They were about to go full on Braveheart on him.

Maybe I am preemptively longing for a show to replace my weekly Lost dose but I think I love this show a little. I care about all of the characters and want to see them succeed. The fact that the V's look human give this show a bit of a Battlestar Galactica feel to it as well, which can only help a show succeed in my book.
