Line 1:

* I'm a little confused by the continuity. There was earlier reference to the "first resistance", which hints at this being a more direct continuation, sooo... how did humanity forget that aliens settled on their planet? Everyone seems so surprised when they show up. I'm pretty early in the series, so this may get explained away somehow, but I'm just a little confused.
** It's not in continuity with the original version. In this version the Visitors have been infiltrating for years, and the "first resistance" refers to the origin of the Fifth Column.
Line 48:
* The Fifth Column's tactics. Not the radicals who use suicide bombers (stupid as hell on its own), but the main characters. Gee, Erica, its a great idea for an FBI agent to run around with a known terrorist. Also, there is nothing wrong with keeping an enemy prisoner in you one-room hideout, where they can see and hear everything.
* Why does all of the Vs interaction with humanity seem to be PR? I mean, [[Conservation of Detail]] can only suspend my disbelief up to a point beyond which we're still left with the question: why doesn't their reticence about providing any information about themselves - their history, their biology (not necessarily their own bodies but at least samples of alien flora and fauna that the terran scientists in the V Verse must be salivating over the prospect of acquiring), any actual science or technology with can be used by humans - ring any alarm bells?
* The secondary plan to assassinate Marcus (instead of Anna, who had been informed of a possible attempt and did not take the stage at the gala) was a huge [[What an Idiot!]] moment for Hobbes, Eli and Erica. Sure, he is her [[The Dragon|'right hand']] and a prime target for the Fifth Column, but ultimately replaceable. They should have aborted the plan instead of revealing their hand to Anna, so to speak, who will more than likely retaliate fast and hard against the Fifth Column. Public support for the Vs will rise even more, which will speed up Concordia's completion. Erica calling after Tyler and making an impromptu appearance on the stage with him didn't go unnoticed by Anna either, and seems to now suspect her (given the look she gave her as she left).
* Where are the Glenn Becks of this world, seeing conspiracies in every single thing? Is the entire Fox News viewership nonexistent in this universe? They're not known to be a particularly trusting lot that takes foreigners at their word. This is especially noticeable since it's been suggested that the Vs are supposed to be a metaphor for the Obama administration. They're charismatic, promise change, offer universal healthcare, but are sinister and have agents infiltrating our society and have secret death panels on the mothership. There ought to be a lot more people suspicious of the Vs than it's implied there are.
** My personal theory to that is that the Glenn Becks of the world are really V's in disguise, sowing disorder and paranoia in the population.
Line 58:
**** Just face it, everyone was playing a giant game of Catch The [[Idiot Ball]] .
* Now, I like Project Ares in general--it explains a ''lot'' (the humans weren't rolling over, they were avoiding provoking the lion before they were prepared), but I do have one small problem: Where the hell did that little surveillance globe...camera thing in Erica's house come from? Did I miss the scene where they put it there?
** It might be a [[Wild Mass Guessing|bit of a reach]], but it may be (somewhat) reasonable to deduce that the Visitor worker/assassin that tracked her from the warehouse to her home in "Welcome to the War" may have planted it. Due to this series having a persistingly '''wonky / bad''' case of '''[[Rule of Perception]]-itis''' (([
