Who is a Visitor?

On Tuesday night the second episode of the new series V was on. This episode started off right where the first episode ended. At the very beginning a team of V's were sent out to clean up from the fight between the V's and the resistance. The way this episode went was very good because it helped the audience connect the first episode and the second because so much happened in the premiere that it might have been hard to keep track. i liked this episode because it showed how the lives off all of the main characters have changed since the arrival of the Visitors.

This episode mainly focused around the aftermath of the resistance meeting for Erica Evans. Since her partner turned out to be one of the Visitors she did not know how to react when he attacked her at the resistance meeting. She ended up killing him at the end of the first episode and was called by her boos at the FBI and he told her that her partner was missing. Throughout the entire episode she stuck to her story that he was a rouge agent who started to fight for the terrorists and that she had figured it out and that is why he has disappeared. She convinced her boss that they will never see him again. She has joined forces with Father Jack to form a new resistance to take down the V's. Her son Tyler at the end of the first episode join the Visitor Peace Ambassador program against his mothers wishes. He was cut off from the Visitors during his time with the peace ambassadors. The Visitor who watched over him and helped him with becoming a peace ambassador was Lisa. Lisa was trying to get Tyler to act more like a Visitor and the entire time Tyler was trying to get Lisa to go out on a date with him when the V's where allowed into the public. When Tyler hit one of the protesters Lisa was very disappointed and now both of them are in trouble and he will most likely be kicked out of the program. Anna finally convinced the American government to allow Visitors to obtain visas to allow them to enter the genera population to see human culture up close. This is what cause Father Jack to agree to build a resistance with Erica. The was not much that happened with the other characters on the show during this episode because it was mainly focused around Erica trying to not be arrested for her partners murder.

I liked this episode and I will watch the rest of the season. I think that this show is good because it is not like anything else that is o television right now. I think that it is good that the characters are not all in a little group and are always interacting with each other because too many shows do that and it is not longer entertaining for most people. I think that this was a great episode and think that it will be interesting to see how the people in the show react to the Visitors being allowed to ;eave their ships and embassies and go not the regular population. I think that the only problem with this will be that once they enter the regular population how will people be able to tell the difference between humans and Visitors. i think that what Erica told Father jack was correct, that "anyone could be a visitor" because they look the same and can obviously assimilate into regular society quickly and discreetly like the Visitors that have built lives and have been on Earth for much longer than people realized. I think that this episode of V would be a 3 out of 5.

The Arrival

Tuesday night was the series premiere of the new show V. It is a remake of another show from 1983, which was also called V. I thought that it was great and I liked the idea of the show. The plot in the show is that aliens, call themselves the Visitors, come to Earth seeking a relationship with humans and some people embrace the "V's" and others don't trust them. I thought that it was a good show and was different from other shows that are on TV, even though this is a remake.

The show V started by showing the main characters starting their day and where they are in life when all of a sudden little earthquakes start throughout New York City. After all the human characters are introduced there is a big earthquake and people start to notice that there is a spaceship over downtown. It later turns out that there are 29 spaceships over major cities throughout the world. Everyone was nervous and panicking after the arrival of the spaceships and the on the bottom of the ships a screen appears with the leader of the Visitors, Anna, addressing the people of Earth telling them why they have arrived on Earth. Anna told the people that all they wanted was to use a common mineral found on Earth and use it to fuel their ships so that they can leave and in until then they will share their advance technology and medicine with the world. There are many people who accept them with open arms, like Tyler Evans, but there are others who are secretly leading a resistance against the Visitors for many years, like Georgie.

There are 16 main characters on the show V. The human characters are Erica Evans, Father Jack , Chad Decker, Tyler Evans, Valerie , Brandon, Georgie, and Roy. Erica Evans is the mother of Tyler Evans and is a FBI agent who is skeptical about the Visitors which causes her to eventually join the secret resistance. Father Jack is a priest in New York who thinks that the Visitors wail cause more problems for humans than good by causing them to turn away from god and become devoted to the Visitors, he also joins the secret resistance along with Erica. Chad Decker is a news anchor who has been chosen by the visitors to be their voice in the human news world, he works closely with Anna and she seems to trust him more than other humans she has met with. Chad was also the first human to have an interview with a Visitor. Tyler Evans is a 17 year old boy who after going onto one of the Visitors motherships meets Lisa and decides that he is going to become one of their Peace Ambassadors, Tyler is one of the people who welcomes them completely. Brandon is one of Tyler's friend and is the reason that he gets onto the mothership in the first place. Roy is one of the people who goes to Father Jacks church and is one of the people who welcomes the Visitors because they used their advanced medicine to cure him of his disease that confined him to a wheelchair. Georgie is the last human main character on the show. Georgie is the leader of the mysterious secret resistance against the Visitors, he says that the Visitors have been on Earth for decades and just now revealed themselves, he turned out to be right by the end of the episode.

There are not many main characters who are Visitors, there are only three so far. The leader of the Visitors is Anna. Anna is the face of the Visitors, she is the one that is the face of the Visitors. Anna also comes to trust Chad Decker to be the only human that she will talk through, all of the important things that Anna has to say to the humans she wants to say it through Chad. Lisa is another character who is a Visitor. Lisa is the leader of the Peace Ambassador program in New York. Tyler seems to have a crush on Lisa and she uses it to make him join the ambassadors. The peace Ambassadors are people who spend a lot of time with the "V's" and then go back to the neighbourhoods and spread the message of the Visitors. Marcus is the last main character who is a Visitor. Marcus seems to be Anna's assistant or her secretary or something. Marcus did not have a big part in the first episode and might not be such a big deal in the show.

I thought that the new series V was great. I think that it is a good idea and is different from other shows on right now. I like the idea that the aliens look like normal people and seem to want to help humans. I think that the helping of the humans might not last that long because I don't think that there would be a need to have a resistance if the Visitors are going to help. I thought that is was strange that the Visitors kept saying "We are of peace, always.", i thought that they might be trying to convince the humans that they are peaceful so that they will not attack them and they can try to earn more trust from the humans for some reason.I look forward to seeing where the story goes and how the characters will react to the events of the last few minutes of the episode. I would rate the new series V 4.5 out of 5.

This is ABC's promotion for their new series V
