Right - they were waiting right outside our solar system. And then, for some reason, no V until March.
What is up with all the weird programming?
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting the gap until ??March?? -- why didn't they "position" this as a mini-series special or something?
Also, exactly WHAT is the V's plan? Did it get mentioned in any part of episodes that I missed or went into a coma during?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I believe they want to eat us. This has not yet been stated.

OK, so they have obviously ELABORATE biomedical science, can cure disease by waving techy wands over skin --
can grow complete living skin suits --
have tons enough alien tech that they can have a couple kajillion space ships waiting to invade Earth --
..

and they want to EAT us?

I'm guessing they want the planet, and eating us is a gift with purchase.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the deal with Chad, I want to know. There must be something beyond just snacking with him. From what interview I read, the actress playing his alien GF doesn't even know what "The One" means. Maybe they want his sperm too.

Yes, but wouldn't it be simpler to just force-grow human meat in tanks? If you have That Much technology? Or terraform a planet or two? Or find an unoccupied one that isn't overrun with 7 billion excess humans?
Yeah, I know, applying Actual Logic here....

I thought Chad was Scott Wolf?
Is Chad the kid? Isn't the kid called "Tyler"?
And when Ryan's gf told him she was pregnant - he seemed. . . disturbed. Perhaps he didn't think it was possible.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
