V - Heretic's Fork, S01E09

Despite last week's fantastic episode, the audiences did not come out in force for this episode. Not that I can blame them, as the quality and interest level dipped again. It's a shame that in all likelihood this show will get cancelled, but, since they keep missing the mark, it's hardly surprising.

Val (Lourdes Benedicto) went with Ryan (Morris Chestnut), but that did not mean she trusted him. She just couldn't seem to get her head wrapped around the danger. Then, Anna (Morena Baccarin) sent a Soldier after them, and Val figured out pretty quickly that she was in real danger. But, despite all that, she remained angry at Ryan and so his entire reason for wanting emotions and joining team "Let's not destroy all the humans" walked away from him without any warm words. Not that this is going to make Ryan revert to his original V ways, which would actually add something to the show.

I was also not at all impressed that, although Father Jack (Joel Gretsch) didn't want their prisoner to come to any harm, he answered the incoming call from Joshua (Mark Hildreth) in front of the man and named his ally on the V ship. What a brilliant plan! They couldn't have let him go at that point even if he had proved not to be a particularly bad guy. Well, I suppose he had to die from the moment he saw their faces, but really...anyone remember why it's a bad idea to monologue? Sometimes your prisoner escapes. They were just lucky that didn't happen this time.

And I am in no mood to address the Lisa (Laura Vandervoort)/Tyler (Logan Huffman) story.
