"In last night's promisingly paranoid episode of V, we learned more about the alien resistance movement - as well as what V leader Anna thinks of humanity. In this terrifically creepy scene, the slick, beautiful Anna makes it obvious how she plans to exploit humanity. By playing to our natural desire to submit. Oh, and also by torturing humans using mind control, which we catch a brief glimpse of when a human prisoner of the V is made to see snakes writhing all over his body. What Anna doesn't bargain on is that humans also have a ferociously strong desire to resist submission - and it turns out that desire is catching, since some of the V agents on Earth have gone race traitor and joined the human resistance." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Chad the TV anchor also gave us a look at the darker side of the V, who call him up to the ship for a sharp talking-to after he airs a debate between pro- and anti-V pundits. He thinks that he's got the V on the defensive now, but we shall see. I'm looking forward to seeing where this show is going. Especially now that Dale has awakened, all healed up and human-looking, on the V ship." - RAPatton

Elizabeth Mitchell is pretty solid as the lead. The teens storyline is all kinds of weak sauce (although the V teen (liz?)) is kind of mesmerizing to look at. I like how quickly it's turned into a conspiracy story. - Jason Toney

Please tell me that it gets better. Ep1 was virtually unwatchable. Miss Baccarin keeps it going for me, though. I will keep it in the Hulu queue for now. - Carlos Ayala
