V - Fruition, S01E11

Let's start by celebrating the fact that this exciting, interesting, and improving series about an alien invasion has been renewed for a second season! Hooray! I am looking forward to seeing how well humans are equipped to fight off an alien race bent on our destruction. And I can't wait for the season finale tonight to wrap up this season, likely with a lot of flare.

The series has greatly improved since the first 4 episodes aired in November. Then, Tyler (Logan Huffman) and Lisa (Laura Vandervoort) appeared as a Romeo and Juliet high school couple in the midst of serious adult confrontations, but over the more recent episodes, their romance has become pivotal.
Tyler has been the source of Lisa's developing emotions, so powerful that she is now immune to her mother's bliss, and committed to the cause of the 5th column. She may still be the Lizard Princess, but the Princess has lost all faith and loyalty to the Queen.

I loved the it is completely beyond Anna (Morena Baccarin) that she alienated her daughter. Thinking that Lisa was failing her, she punished the girl by making her appear to be the object of anti-V sentiment. The ploy was effective to rally the support of hundreds of sheep...I mean, humans...but not to retain the affections of Lisa. As a V, Anna has no understanding of the affection she lost, nor of the hurt Lisa feels which is now directed in anger at her mother.
Emotions may be our weakness, but the Vs lack of emotions is theirs.

As we come to the conclusion, we are again left in a panic over what is going to happen next. The V ships have entered our solar system, Anna's soldiers are about to hatch, Hobbs (Charles Mesure) may be betraying the 5th column to the V, and the only man who has any knowledge of a weapon against them is in their power.
How is a dinner for Tyler, Anna, Lisa, and Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) going to affect the outcome?
