V Season Finale Review: "Red Sky"
Last night marked the season finale of V - and we are so happy to say that this show is coming back next season!
Whew! What a close call that we weren't too sure how it would pan out! Fortunately for us V lovers, we can now anticipate the return of this amazing science fiction show!
First off, we feel that the writers ended the season with "Red Sky" the way that they did in order to give us some sense of completion.
Maybe that is why Val gave birth to her half human/half alien baby and then Anna came in and killed her.
This allowed Ryan to be brought back under her wing - right? Or once Ryan got a look at his baby - would he see Val's face and still be a part of the fifth column?
Also, having Joshua risk his life to save the human race was definitely something we weren't expecting - considering he is a main character and central part of the fifth column. That is probably why he really wasn't killed off. But, now that he is alive, won't Anna just torture him until she gets all the information that she wants? How do you think this will pan out for Joshua? Will Lisa somehow rescue Joshua and bring him into safe keeping?
Speaking of Lisa, we were very excited to see that she picked the fifth column over her mother. Really, it came down to her choice if the human race would survive. Thankfully, her attachment to Tyler is as strong as it is. We can't wait to see what is in store for her next season!
One part that had us a bit confused was Jack's letter. We thought that he said it wasn't meant for anyone. Why did Chad bring it to Joshua?
We loved how Jack took a stand against his parish to speak the truth to his parishioners and even brought in parts of the Bible with Revelations and false prophets. Almost all his parishioners left, but the ones that stayed - will they join the resistance?
We liked the mysterious red sky ending with Anna having felt her first human emotion. Will this mean she will strike vengeance against the entire human race? Is this just the beginning of a massive war? One thing is for certain, we can't wait to see what happens next season!
What did you think of the season finale? Leave your comments below!
Until next season, we leave you with a few of our favorite V quotes from the season finale after the jump!
Anna: What's happening to me?
Marcus: I believe you are feeling your first human emotion. | permalink
Jack: Let V no longer stand for visitor - let V stand for victory. | permalink
Jack: There is a war upon us. A war upon our souls. | permalink
Jack: People are worshiping them instead of God. | permalink
Kyle: And it's a clutch - not a handbag. | permalink
Joshua: You know she has a plan for Tyler - the humans. It's time for you to decide what side you're really on. | permalink

do you think that the V's have evolved so much tecnologically that thats the reason that thier emotions have become non-existent and obselete to them?
is that the point?

omg it's so annoying trying to find an explanation online..hardly anything! glad i found this..
ok so i get most of it i think but yeh i also got a bit lost with kyle and marcus's conversation but i'm over that.. I just don't understand the thing with the letter? at all!
and i hadn't thought of the possibility of Marcus being 5th column..thats so interesting, i hope it's true!

Doing some research on the original series (1980's), it seems that the "red sky" is some kind of deadly gas or something that will eliminate all life on Earth. Although since Marcus, when trying to stop Anna from activating the protocol to deploy the gas, says something about it's too early, and if they do it something will happen. In the 1980's series, it also seemed that the only hope for humanity is to send out a call for other alien races to help them fight the V's. So perhaps the fifth column manages to infiltrate a satelite dish compound and send out a signal to other races (given direction by Lisa or Joshua).
Nothing we can do but wait and see. The long wait is what pisses me off though. A WHOLE F**KING YEAR?!

I've enjoyed this show and will continue to watch but I do have a few issues.
1) Anna not only shows human emotion but all the way into the won't listen to reason mode is a bit much. Was this the first bad, albeit really bad, thing that's every happened in her life?!?
2) As others said the whole Joshua getting caught thing is a bit off. They got caught sending a message not to trust the guy who just set them up... I mean c'mon!!!
3) We don't know if he turns but Ryan seemed way to quick to listen to Anna's lies. He just explained how much of a viper Anna is before he left to protect Val.
4) Never liked Chad going from being very questioning of the V's intentions to Anna's lapdog. Nothing ever occurred that made me believe his characters sudden transformation. Finally, we're at the point we all saw with Chad being an ally to the fifth column.
5) Humanity is way to trusting of the V's and Anna's overtly manipulative tactics. Every person of power today would be putting so much s

LOL james vernon
what the hell did you write? Are you high?

This show is absolute garbage. It started out promisingly, but the writing has slipped, shining greater focus on the stilted dialogue, poor acting, and extremely one-dimensional characters.

With all the technology the V has, I wonder why they did not have at least a surveillance camera at the egg site. They would surely have seen Erica then. I think I would let Jack work for the other side. Great show!

An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception.
Those who will see it will be thought of as insane.
We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us.
We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive.
Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves.
This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur.
We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute.
We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.
We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite.
We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening.
We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air.
They will be
