OK, I DVR'd "V" this week. It cut off right when the guy said, "That's the night I killed John May." Right after that the recording was done. Did I miss anything after that? I don't feel like going online to watch the ending. I'm just asking the huddle community.

Sorry... "chatter" community.

Yeah, the black dude called his wife to tell her the truth about everything, and she wasn't there with the pictures of her real child gone.

And V lady had her babies.

I like the show so far. John May was a nice twist.

My only real complaint of the show so far is I can't stand the FBI agent's son. Horrible actor.

Great episode this week. If I had one critique, it's that TOO many things happen each episode. I mean, in this episode alone we learn that the kid hooking up with the hot alien may not be the son of his "dad," that the black guy killed John May, his wife now knows the truth about her baby, Anna has her kids, etc. While fun to watch, the pace is almost too quick!

Agreed, and that's why quietly this is a great show. It seems like it's well written. They give you A LOT to think about without really cheating any character or plot development. One example - the mercenary is doing some digging and looking for an out. That scene was so brief and undramatic that it's easy to miss the implications.

Also, it was a huge development that they don't feel emotion but it appears they can learn to, or perhaps SOME can learn to. And we caught just a glimpse of Anna experiencing emotion (watching the John May message), but it was only anger and/or fear. Again, potentially another key development that you missed if not paying close attention.

But I agree it's hard to process all that information with the pace the show moves at. I might even go find a fan forum to see perspectives on all the other angles and implications.

I am liking it as well. Agree with Tyler though. That scene at the end of last episode was just awful acting all around.

Lol yeah. She calls him Tye on the show I believe. I really like the Priest though, Father Jack.

I thought that those ultrasound pictures were Ryan as a kid?

No, remember the doctor(the one Ryan is taking her too) gave him the real pictures of the baby, which prompted him to go get the phosphorus. It was in the episode before this one.

Got ya. I missed bits and pieces of that episode so it makes sense now.

If you find a good one, can you post the link? I've missed a few episodes...
