Already posted some of this on another board, but may asweel start one, so just add on any stupid writing or additions this show has made over the 2 seasons.

-a human and V baby can bliss all of humanity
-Anna can literally be killed at any time by any of the 3 FBI agents or by Joshua as he is the head doctor for the Vs and would be responsible for her
-Marcus was 5th column the whole time until now, even before he knew Diana was alive, and sudenly, Diana's death changes everything
-This "Aries" underground revelution isnt effected by Bliss cause they are so deep, are they gonna invent Magneto helmets next to keep this 8 year old out of their heads?
-Vs are clearly the most intelligent speices ever, as nuLisa can learn english fluently within hours
-The massive V room where Diana did the talk has a huge V painted on it, which from what I can tell isnt even a V symbol
-Hobbs could have killed Anna out front of the warehouse at any point in time from a sniper vantage point wearing FBI stuff, since the FBI V taskforce is fifth column
-The whole sceen where Tylers dad gets killed by cross fire between fifth column and the FBI, neither of which would shoot at civilians
-Ryan's back and forth *beep* over his kid when he could have stolen her like 10 times, like he tried at the end
-This super advanced race hasent invented locks on their own ships? Anyone can walk into anywhere, for example, tourturing live-a-boards and they just leave the door wide open for Decker to check it out
-Aries project develping a machine that tracks the global emotions?
-The *beep* V tail, where does Lisa hide that while getting railed by Tyler?
-This research guy, the one for the fifth column who does the blue energy or whatever, is supposed to be responsible for creating a fatal weapon which attacks the Vs reptilian skin although its never mentioned again
-No ammount of skin can hide the fat ass that the freshly hatched egg had, and the V without human skin has 4 fingers, which are all longer then human figers by a long shot

Ive definatly left some out, feel free to add on.

LOL! This thread has the potential to be fun. I'm going to add 2 because I think you can add a lot at once for this series which makes it harder for others to add theirs.

- The military/government - Never once consulted or seen in any of the episodes. Surely they would have researched the blue energy, or the technology V's gave to the humans.

- Were the humans ever given a chance? Seriously though, did the writers ever want the fans to think the humans had a chance? Last night basically cemented the fact humans were beaten in every sense of the 'game'

-placing a skin over a V will slowly cause them to take emotion from it?
-somehow Anna can send bliss all the way around the world to China or London, but is incapable of hitting a bunker a mile below the earth?
-the Vs are all for swallowing a pill to hide information but when it comes to Marcus or Joshua killing Anna from behind to win the war they decide its not worth it?

- Vs in their natural form are shorter than when they are wearing their human 'skin'

Failure is not an option

[–] krass2 14 years ago

-the cutting behind their ear to check them is somehow more effecitve then looking for a tail on a female or their 2 inch radius waist size? Comon theres gotta be something better then a V shaped mark to check for cartilage
-the massive V ships jsut sitting in orbit would completely *beep* with weather paterns all across the globe
-bringing down a V ship anywhere near water would cause a tsunami like the oen that devistated Japan or just completely destroy a city if its over land

A Four to five person Fifth Column has a chance to defeat an armada...

Just because you're named the World wide Leader of the Fifth column doesn't mean you're actually effective at planning or getting others involved.

Never trust a man with bigger boobs than yours.. i.e. Hobbes

Anna walking around with the blood stained eyes. Really? None of her subjects could say, "My Queen, you look terrible. Here's a wet nap."

Anna and Amy having matching outfits during the Bliss scene.

How did Diana's entire outfit go from red to white?

Next time someone wants to rescue or protect their child. I think it is best to bring a bat or tazer.

Why did they ever think that plan to have Lisa kill Anna would work? Lisa was clearly conflicted about her loyalty all season long.

Why didn't Hobbes just pick her off from the shadows??? I don't get that.

Why didn't Marcus kneel when Anna commanded them all to do so?

Also, did anyone else notice the Visitor nuQueen looked like a giant evolved roach with a tail?

Rose: Can I ask a dumb question?
Dorothy: Better than anyone I know.

You people need watch at least one episode of NBC's The Event.

Talk about terrible writing. This week's episode had not one but two scenes that were a total waste of film. Sean getting into a bar fight and Vicki pulling a gun on a guy that followed her out of a grocery store to give her her reciept. Both scenes were pointless but that's the kind of thing The Event writers pull every damn week.

Nah man, V wasn't perfect but next to The Event it's a frickin' masterpiece.

And I say this as someone who hated the first season.

-Why are the V's so easily accepted and given so much political power by most of the world? (Barring Project Ares)
It was basically:

Humans: AAAAHHH!! Aliens!
Anna: Greetings Earthlings. We are of peace. We came for food and some kind of mineral. In exchange, we have given you our technology, healing centers, better economic conditions and job opportunities, and-
Humans: YE ARE GODS!!!
Anna: Wow. That was easy.

-Lisa being the only fertile female of the species. Why is Anna letting her walk around freely on the ground without bodyguards? What if she was fatally hurt? There goes the future of the species. After seeing the "kidnapping" video, Anna actually wonders "How could this happen?" How? She had NO bodyguards or security and Anna's surprised!!!

-Erica is kidnapped, taken to some secret location just to tell her she is going to another secret location, but she goes up some stairs and Father Jack is standing right there. lol.

-What happened to the rest of the 5th column worldwide? Or even science boy, I thought this was everyone's decision.

I actually laughed when she ran out the door on to the garden...

[–] bacci40 14 years ago

how about anna and the entire entourage appearing onstage to kill diana...with no one seeing them

but the child bliss thing was a take on the star child from the original mini series....it was absurd then...its more absurd now

the english learning can be explained with the wole implanted memory thing

btw...does the skin cover the inside of the vag too?

"This "Aries" underground revelution isnt effected by Bliss cause they are so deep, are they gonna invent Magneto helmets next to keep this 8 year old out of their heads? "

This one does make sense. the bliss does not affect you unless you are looking at it, that is why everyone was looking up.

Well it is his kid. He is probably going to be more vulnerable around her and like he said he not going to fight her and Im pretty sure he probably didn't phantom her snapping his neck.

- Erica not telling Tyler the truth about the Visitors all along. She had to wait until he was on the ship and ready to be ultimately manipulated by Anna and nuLisa. Now he's dead because THE STUPIDEST WRITING FLAW OF THE ENTIRE SHOW. I'm sure you won't be that stupid again, Erica.

- John May. We didn't need that guy to explain the origins of the Fifht Column. Especially if you get him killed early in the first season by Ryan. AND if he isn't mentioned ever again after that. So stop saying "John May Lives". We know he doesn't.

- Hobbes' deal with Marcus. Just a cheap device to make him do "traitor" things for no reason whatsoever.

- The human soul thing. Now... seriously?

- Red Rain. We all thought that would trigger the end of the peaceful relationship between humans and Visitors. But noooo... Anna makes a warm speech and humans go "YER ALL GODS!" all over again.

- The V's having human names. I'd understand if they were part of their cover story towards humans, but inside the ship's privacy they keep using them. It shouldn't be "I'm your queen, Diana", but "I'm your queen, Blëweeekargh!" This one's a little nitpicking because I know it would be hard to follow a show with a character named both Diana and Blëweeekargh. But still...

- Diana shouldn't be that clean wearing that gorgeous red suit during her long stay in her organic prison, especially if she was inside that coccoon. Hell, she shouldn't even be wearing human skin!

I know many more bad writing fails, I'll just leave them for another day LOL

And despite that, I really want V to get a 3rd season. Even though it has lots of stupid stuff, it is entertaining as hell. And I love aliens. Just one request for the next season: OPEN *beep* WAR. BRING IT ON.

Glad I started this board, lets see,

- Skinning a V, kinda confused on this one but is it their alien skin or their human skin only, cause Eric(a) at one point says im gonna skin you from the head to tip of tail. So not sure on that one
- As for that looking at the bliss thing, that means that people in China and India are staring at the ground? how are they seeing these "bliss waves"
- They can protect an entire ship with an invisible forcefield but they cant generate one around Anna during the speech she was supposed to get shot at
- And just so many issues with the anatomy changes already listed

Good thread for venting :)

- Most fail writing to me after i thought about it is this:
Everything the Vs want is to impregnate a fertile V with an altered DNA human. This is what the entire show has been about really. Well, for this you need sperma. WTF! Milk Tyler dry and put the stuff in a freezer until you need it. Even if they had to "kidnap" him, feed him with something phosphorus and then dispose of him, in an accident of course, who would care? Growl
