V: Welcome to the War

V came back strong with an episode that moved at a breakneck pace. Erica and Ryan were the focus of "Welcome to the War" and Erica even got to say the title to her new paramilitary friend. While this episode was not perfect, Erica telling everyone who would listen that her son was on the ship was reminiscent of Michael screaming "Walt" on Lost, it certainly continued to build steam for a stellar series thus far.

We learned that V's and humans cannot procreate. Except for Ryan and Valerie. Obviously Val is going to have some pregnancy woes when you consider how violent V reproduction seems to be. As Ana picked her paramour it became painfully obvious that she was going to eat him. Not a bad TV troupe kind of eat him, more like a creepy are they really going to go through with Ana eating a dude after mating?

What do the V's need with Tyler? They have have evolved beyond emotions so I doubt they find him endearing. The memory chamber was interesting, I'm fairly certain they built a "Tyler 2.0" program to talk to Erica from what they learned while they had him in there.

Father Jack and Erica seem to have a real connection. Was there a priest character on the original "V" or did they include him her to mix it up? How did Georgie get Jack out of the V healing center without raising any alarms? Was the priest's dream a prophecy? Is the end game of the V's to turn people into lizards? That seems silly considering how easily Ana seems to be able to produce an army.

On a side note, I must complain to ABC for the horrendously huge hovering red "V" hue in the lower third of my screen during a pivotal episode of Lost. Do not do that ABC! You made me so mad I avoided watching "V" for three days.
