"V" ABC Re-Boot - (spoilers)

That's probably a good way to look at it Tim.  She is kind of blind to certain aspects of humans and I'd guess that will be her eventual downfall.

I think the hunt for the soul is still valid. Even if they never find it, why wouldn't they look for it? If they think that this is the means to control humanity, then the logical course is to pursue the goal. I'm sure that there is a lot of science being done each day that will never reach it's desired goal, but in the search for that knowledge, new things are discovered.

Even if she never finds the human soul, she might find another means of controlling humanity. Even if she doesn't, the effort still isn't wasted because she find that it can't be found with her level of technology. I don't see how the pursuit of knowledge in something you don't understand is ever going to be a dumb move.

[Rico]

Umm, searching for "the soul" is not what I would call scientific.  Keep in mind this is a TV show - not real life.  So for me, that creates a different set of criteria related to plot, story, characterization, etc.  Again, we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Possible spoiler!!!!
I not into the soul searching part of the show but I do enjoy the show overall. I thought it was wild that one of the Priests ending up being a sleeper lizard.

[RickPeete]

What if they find 'soimething' that they think might be 'the soul', only to discover that they have this thing as well!  Then they have to deal with the reality that killing us would be against some kind of V cultural ethic.  Then Anna makes the decision to move ahead, which pushes more Vs over to join the Fifth Column to protest her decision.  Ahhh more drama ensues!   Just a thought....

[QuadShot]

I understand the whole idea of this show is kind of silly to some, and yes, the "soul searching" (yep, pun intended) Anna has set upon is maybe a weak plot, but remember, the ENTIRE plot of this AND the original if you think about it is quite stupid. I mean, a race of beings so advanced that they put their entire civilization on a ship, go from system to system, etc...WHY would they need to pretend to be our friends in order to achieve their goal? In the original it was us as food, in this version, us as breeding stock. Ok...you have the power to MAKE those things happen. You obviously don't need our cooperation - you don't care about that. So why go through all this BS in pretending to be our "saviour" and make nice-nice with us? WHY? Because it would be a VERY quick series if it played out as it would really be:
Scene One: Open on V Mother Ship entering Earth orbit
Scene Two: V Mother Ship, other orbiting ships, open fire and send shock troops to land and conquer Earth
Scene Three: (Original Version) V's begin loading humans into their grind-o-matic machines and make McHuman Burgers out of them
Scene Three: (New Version) V's begin loading humans into their baby-o-matic machines and make McBaby's
Scene Four: End credits

All 4 scenes take less than 15 minutes....:)

I kind of agree if it was the food angle, but kid making is a bit trickier.  For one, they don't seem to have perfected it.  Also, they don't seem to know what really to expect with regards to emotions, etc.  I'm still not quite sure why they need to breed with us?  Queen Anna seems to be able to pop out a lot of eggs.  Is that a rare event??  Lots of questions still to learn the answers to.

From the last few episodes...
[spoiler] we learned that it is a rare event that can't be done again. Anna is sterile now and depending on her daughter. and that they go from planet to planet breeding with the natives. Taking the good genes and moving to the next world. Kinda like the borg in that. They assimilate the race and then move on. [/spoiler]

[Rico]

Hmmm...

[spoiler]I do kind of remember the comment about the eggs now and Anna being not able to do that again.  Not sure I recall this idea they go from planet to planet breeding with the natives.  They have spent a long time working on this for Earth for some reason.  Anna's mommy has been here awhile and a few other V folks.  Still not quite sure of all the reasons behind it. [/spoiler]

In the last episode when they are talking about the subject you don't like, the mention previous worlds in a a throw away line.

[Rico]

Is it in a conversation with Anna and her mom Diana?  I need to go back and watch that part again then.

Yeah, right at 46 minutes in. The priest says [spoiler] "Of all those that we have bred with, the human soul is truly unique."[/spoiler]

Possible spoilers.
Since they can only lay eggs once or a few times maybe thats why she got so mad when the eggs got destroyed. I didn't catch how many times they can lay eggs. But if they are limited why in the world would you kill the ones that lived?? I don't know how to do that spoiler box thing.
