V (2009 TV series): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

A [[The Remake|remake]] of the [[V|original series]], airing on [[ABC]]. Massive spaceships appear over many of the major cities of Earth, and simultaneously broadcast images of "Anna", the leader of the Visitors. She claims that her species is delighted to find another intelligent species and want to trade their technology for water and a "common mineral".

* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: They actually speak every language thanks in large part to some sort of [[Universal Translator]] and the fact that {{spoiler|the Vs have been on Earth for decades prior to their official arrival}}.

* [[America Saves the Day]]: Inverted. The Vs go after America's support so they can screw everyone.

* [[Anyone Can Die]]:

** Didn't think {{spoiler|Georgie}} would die, did ya?

* [[Invincible Villain]]: Even called attention to by Erica. No matter what the Fifth Column does, Anna always comes out on top. Either through [[Diabolus Ex Machina]] or just good PR, every supposed win they've had is thrown right back in their faces. Manages to go [[Up to Eleven]] in the season 2 finale. The Fifth Column decides to take out Anna. Result? {{spoiler|Anna uses Bliss on pretty much all of humanity; the Fifth Column is basically defeated; Diana, Tyler, and Ryan are dead; and the queen egg hatches to replace Lisa.}} Coming back from that should be impressive.

* [[Ironic Echo]]:

'''Jack (next episode):''' You walked away from me last night! What the hell was I supposed to do? }}

** {{spoiler|John May <s>Lives</s> Was [[Dead All Along]]}}.

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: John May's stepson wasn't seen or mentioned again after ''John May''.

** And what about that {{spoiler|actual mouse transferred from Anna's mouth to Ryan's daughter's?}}

* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: A V supporter's sign reads "Give Vs a Chance".

* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Anna had Lisa injured and blamed the Fifth Column for the attack in order to manipulate Tyler and keep him close.}}
