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

So, I just watched "V." I did not like this episode at all. I found the dialogue to be overly repetitive, the acting seemed off for some reason and it did not hold my interest. After about 40 minutes in, I was ready to bail.

I don't think I'll be back. I tried to give this show a chance. I'm not sure if it was the long break or what, but I did not respond well to the show tonight.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I watched Justified instead. The ads being all about getting the annoying DIEDIEDIE! son back did nothing for me.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Liked the sting at the end where Anna showed part of her true face.

I noticed Nicholas Lea in the credits - I totally couldn't tell who he was in the episode. Was he Hobbes or one of the V? He's changed a lot if so.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Also, why is the Vs' sewing so bad? Shouldn't interplanetary travelers be able to sew a decent seam?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Watching V now.

Duhs so far:

Don't get rid of the dead V who broke into your house.

Anna is already creating a diplomatic incident by keeping a minor on her ship.

V fingerprint technology is admissable in an earth court?

We're irritating me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I couldn't find him either.

le nubian, I agree with you on the episode. I was really liking it before, but it felt like the show got a lot worse with the change in showrunners. I'm not sure anymore.

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

okay, I did some net searching. here he is in a "V" picture. I think (judging from the photo) that he might be a character's father.

I like Lea, but I think I'm done with "V."

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, he wasn't actually in the episode. Although, could he have been in the kid's memories?

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