V - John May, 1.7

• Rekha Sharma (Battlestar Galactica) and Nicholas Lea (The X-Files) are both on V, + Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost), Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Dollhouse), Laura Vandervoort (Smallville), Michael Trucco! (Battlestar Galactica), and Morena Baccarin (Firefly)
• LOL @ Michael Trucco starting a revolution in V. He is certainly a revolutionist. Oh, and he's a V - not only that, but the very first one to rebel! This is too weird of a typecast to be on purpose. Or maybe it is, because judging by this post, this show is definitely targeting a specific audience. I wonder if John May will be revealed to have created the V race, or something.
• Interesting that a V's natural state (sans Anna's "Bliss") is very similar to a human's, complete with emotion. Draws parallels to books like The Giver and 1984.
• Supersoldiers: The X-Files, Chuck, Fringe
• Alien/Human Hybrids as Saviors/Destroyers of Both Races: The X-Files, V, Battlestar Galactica
• V is turning out to be an excellent sci-fi show, despite a rocky start. Unfortunately, it's not drawing the viewers it needs. I'd say it's one of the top sci-fi shows currently airing - certainly one of the best on the major networks; its only real competition I can think of is Fringe (which, I maintain, is overrated... I mean, I know why I watch the show [the blood and the gore and the Joshua Jackson], but on the whole it's all been done before, and done better, in most cases) and Lost (which I simply don't watch). Flashforward? No competition at all. However, that show is also getting better but declining in the ratings like V. With Lost off the air very soon, it's a sad time for sci-fi on primetime. Fringe picks up the procedural + mythology end of it, and V tackles aliens full-on. But still, only two shows? Am I missing any?
• Logan Huffman (Tyler) looks SO MUCH like a young Sean Maher! At first I thought he looked a lot like Zefron, and the I did the Firefly connection, and voila!
