New exciting stories come up in the second season of V, following the humanity struggles against those aliens who want to invade the whole planet. In the opening we see Anna puts the world on the brink of war, she has unleashed Red Sky on the planet. Meanwhile, Erica goes on a journey to find a scientist who can give her the answers to what Red Sky is.

If this alien-adventure melodrama were any more cartoonish, you might expect the Road Runner to "Beep Beep!" behind the evil Anna the next time she's foiled.
If you relish the prospect of Elizabeth Mitchell kicking ass and Morena Baccarin being ridiculously inappropriate, with the occasional moment of squickiness or splodiness thrown in for good measure, then you'll want to make a date with V.
Do we care? Well, not really. The groan-worthy dialogue, usually spoken in a monotone by alien and human alike, is rarely credible and lacks the kind of self-aware irony that might make this enjoyable.
Worse is evil lizard leader Anna and her war on emotion that turns into a literal soul-sucking crusade that rivals the plot of Star Trek V as one of the silliest sci-fi plots of all time.
To me, this was V's finest hour: A twistedly funny, fast-paced good time, which simultaneously gave me what I want and snatched all my hopes and dreams out from under me.
