We're apparently going to see this sometime next year if you believe the Ads that Sci-Fi (I think) are putting out at the moment.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

Alright 2nd Episode, I agree with everyones comments

[spoiler]When I saw The FBI lady(BSG Tori) Talking with Father Jack, I just screaming at the TV that she has to be a V since she was a Cylon as well. If she turns out to be a V, then she will probably be typecast as Aliens disguised as Humans. I agree when Erica first came into the office after the previous night, how she was looking at everyone and they looking at her was well done. But after that it seemed to fall apart and her credibility as an FBI agent fell for me, I just found her a bit to paranoid for me, and how she went on with Father Jack about not knowing him in front of the other agents, and then grabbing him when he came out of the interview seemed really obvious. Also at the end, her walking out with that book with all The people who had reported incidents about Aliens in the past seemed lame. First off, I would suspect the protocols to even get access to something like that would be high, and to walk out with it like she took it off someones desk I just don't buy with today's security. Also something like that would most likely be held on electronic files, and it probably is, but when I saw what she had done, had a difficult time buying it, could have modernized the way she got that list.[/spoiler]

having worked for the government in a position that required security clearance, it's not at all uncommon for someone to take work home with them. If you don't walk out looking over your shoulder or being suspicious. I'm sure you could walk out with a list of names and not draw attention.

Makes three of us.

What do you guys think of the blond Visitor who works for the Public Relations brigade? [spoiler] My first instinct is to compare her to the character played by Robert Englund on the original series-- a Good Guy just caught in an unfortunate position. But given the nature of her job, I'm not so sure...[/spoiler]

I am sure I am nit picking on this :) . I work for a large Multinational Corporation which over the past few years has placed a lot of emphasis on security and privacy. In our company, documents such as this would not be laying around for someone to pick up from a desk as we have policies against that. I suspect the FBI would probably have stricter policies then us, and most likely a document such as this would be stored Electronically with controls set on it. Probably most people, watching Erica walk out with the document is not a big deal, and I agree, once in her hand I am sure she could leave easily, just the idea that she could get it so easily from a different department made me shake my head a bit. I guess if I take the view of the writers, they probably did not have a lot of time to setup a scene where she acquired the document since they only have so much time in an hour long program, and the explanation they used would probably be sufficient for just about everyone (well except me ;) )

Just finished the 3rd episode and man is it getting good.

So many things.. first I love that the V traitors call themselves the 5th columnist like the original. Even though it wasn't a shocker it was revealed that Lisa is planning something for Tyler. And finding out that Lisa is actually Anna's daughter, didn't have a clue about that. I knew the gunman was going to be a V. I had no idea that the V doc was an 5th columnist.. that was a good OMG moment. I'm now thinking that Anna's assistant is either a 5th columnist or going to somehow save Erica since she saved him. I loved the scene with the four founding members of the Resistance meeting up in the church. I liked the people at the beginning giving confessions.. felt very real. I like that they revealed that over 600+ people died when the V's came. I also noticed that all the Captains of the 29 ships were male.. kind of like Anna being the Queen bee. So many things it was such a fun episode and it just flew by. Can't wait for the fourth and finale episode this year..

You took the words out of my mouth Kenny! 

It was a pretty good episode, I'm enjoying the show in general.  I wonder if that's it for Alan T's character?  It seemed like he was Dead/dead this time. Too bad we only get one more show before christmas...


Bryancd

Yep, this was definitely better. I would think that Ann's assistant would have known about the set up assassination attempt, no? Erica as this super FBI agent I'm really struggling with, the actress just doesn't have the chops for it, IMO. Also, the Priest playing FBI was a bit silly. But, I liked Anna's machinations and manipulations and the rebel V's are good, although they are maybe just a little TOO human in the way the interact with eachother.

Rico

I still have kind of mixed feelings on the show.  It's not really grabbing me quite yet.  I have to admit part of that is due to us only getting one more episode and then having to wait months for more.  It makes me a bit hesitant to commit.  I wonder if they are going to be changing the tone of the show much?  I know there were some behind the scenes issues between the network and makers of the show.  Time will tell I guess.

Yeah I thought about that when I went to bed last night.. it's just the way he acted... but then again it could all be a ploy... these visitors are sneaky.
