(S01E07) "Let them have this one victory, because I'm about to deliver them a thousand defeats." - Anna, before she sinks into the shiny pool with her little eggs.

Hells bells, Ryan may be a good guy now, but he wasn't always that way. In fact, he was pretty nasty back in the day. When he and the gang went to track down John May's communication device, Ryan spilled the beans to John's stepson James about what really happened ten years earlier. John May's suicide note was a fake.

Oh, and by the way, James, that girl you're hanging out with? Under that human skin, she looks like the Vaal from the planet Gamma Trianguli VI on 'Star Trek.' Hmmm...

We also learned quite a bit about the mysterious John May, including the fact that he was the first V to turn against Anna, and now every time his name is mentioned, it's like a dagger stabbed into her reptilian heart. And as mentioned, John's suicide note was a fake. In reality, Ryan killed him. That came as a blow to both James and Erica et al. What else is the team hiding (*cough* Kyle *cough*)?

Anna seems to be showing some tension, doesn't she? Maybe it's because she's gestating a whole bunch of baby aliens. It probably does a number on her alien hormones. She's also a little freaked that Chad is getting closer to the truth and her particular choices for the live-aboard program. She can't pass off the "John May Lives" hacking as a glitch in the system of old codes. He's not that dumb, although he's sort of dumb if he thinks working with Anna will help to further his career. No good can come of it. She can't be trusted. Not one bit.

Oy, I just want to smack Tyler. This "thing" -- get over it, she's not that pretty underneath her meat suit, Tyler -- has worked her reptilian feminine wiles on him, and now he's turned against his parents. What a dork. What do you think is up with his real parentage? Did the doctors do a number on Erica by saying Joe wasn't Tyler's dad, when in fact, he is? I wonder what that's all about. She certainly seems convinced that Joe is his dad.

The jig is up for Ryan, after Val found his secret safe. And really, Ryan? You hide a giant safe behind a flimsy wall? What kind of alien are you anyway? Anyway, she's figured out by now that the bun in her oven will come in handy on St. Patrick's Day.

Oh, Georgie. It didn't have to be that way. They could have gotten you out of there. But you lasted longer than most, what with those pesky scours rattling through your body and the awful memories of the V who killed your family. The whole toast to Georgie at the end seemed a little cheesy, but I'll go with it, because the storyline makes me want to know what happens next.

Another great episode directed by Jonathan Frakes. And I'm sort of in love with Charles Mesure, who plays Kyle Hobbes.
