That line, spoken by Morena Baccarin in the Season 2 finale, will go down, or should go down in sci-fi history as one of the best and most memorable lines ever. In the context of the episode's events, it was one of the greatest moments I've ever seen in sci-fi. I thought the entire finale was terrific and surprisingly shocking. The ending was mind-blowing, and it looks like a third season may be even better now that things are at full crisis levels. Morena is just so good on this show I cannot find the words. I also can't help notice she's not getting much love or support from Browncoats here at FFF, except from Haken. I don't get it. She's in the best sci-fi show in years, and her performances have been mesmorizing and ground-breaking every week.

For anyone who watched Tuesday night, I thought the Tyler demise was amazing; pure visual and psychological genius. The deaths of Diana and Ryan were equally as riveting and powerful to experience. And then the final shots of Father Jack staring with bliss into the light as the invading armada swarms Earth....man that is awesome stuff!I burned a dvd of the last few episodes this year, and I've already watched the finale three times. I pity anyone who has missed out on all this magnificence.

You have pretty much summed up everything for me, what's more to say? While I absolutely adore Morena, I do have to say that there were a couple times that her scenes were... well... lacking. Not necessarily in the season finale. And not even necessarily in this season. But overall I would have to say that I have completely enjoyed this show in it entirety thus far.

So the big question I have is, did you jump when Diana got harpooned? I certainly did. Never even saw that coming.

My second question: what does it take to be Queen V? Apparently it just takes saying it. And whoever says it last wins. I can't believe Lisa didn't just lash out with her tail while yelling, "NO! I AM THE QUEEN!!" and stick Anna in the eye. Evidently that's all it takes, or else why didn't the V's with Anna stop her from using her tail on Diana?

Ok, we'll just leave that plot hole alone. I'm having fun at one of my favorite show's expense. I really do love the show and am so proud of my friend's ability to get it revived and relived in such a way.

I wouldn't hold my breath on their even being a third season, if I were you. The ratings for the finale were tepid. It didn't even beat a re-run of NCIS.

Well, unless my friend sends word that it's not going to happen, I'm going to bank on it.

I do like the show, but it has taken a while to get going. I'll be shocked if there's a third season, but I do hope that if they do get one, they use it to get closure for this version and the humans defeat Anna somehow.

I'm really actively disliking Anna! LOL

I'm hoping Anna's daughter (her name is just NOT coming to me right now) gets her revenge...

Actually, it just occurred to me that the newly hatched queen egg might just be the undoing of Anna and that will be a whole different set of problems...that thing is psycho!

Hey, don't forget about Anna's other "daughter" Amy. She's got some powerful voodoo within her as she demonstrated by strangling her daddy to death with her tail. Her next act was putting all of Earth's billions of people into a waking coma.

C'mon 3rd Season!! Aries Project looks intriguing with original series hero leading the operation. Lisa 1 versus Lisa 2, and of course poor Erica....she can't find Kyle, and she doesn't yet know that Chad's been taken to Anna, or the unbelieveable fate of her son. I mean...hey ABC...you can't let all this just go away, can you? I have to see where all this going. To not give us another season is as bad as what the V's plan for us.

THANK YOU! That would have driven me insane!

Some sci-fi fans are even speculating that Lisa may turn out to be Erica's biological daughter — and that Tyler's the spawn of Anna. "Everyone comments on the hair color thing like this was all planned from the beginning," says Vandervoort. "It's sci-fi, so anything's possible...

Aries Project is doomed to failure...Obama killed NASA's first Moon landing and Woody Allen defeated The Leader's Nose.

Is time in the sack with Laura Vandervoort worth a life-ending chomp down on your jugular? Certainly not the worst way to go.

Also, Morena's runner-up best line from the finale was "enjoy the show", as she activated the viewscreen for Lisa to watch the Tyler event unfold.

Sorry to say….I have missed many of the “V” episodes that have played on ABC. Not that I’ve wanted to….but life…..you understand……Anyway I will be catching up. Imo, personally I think a lot of an actors success “onscreen” depends on art direction and writing….Hope ABC has seen it’s way to educating it’s “V” writers in creating more interesting story arches.

Just as I see it BP

Btw, I love Morena!

Considering the unintentional hilarity the show served the week before ("Subject appears to be blissed!"), I was very happy with the finale. If the show gets canned, they went at least out with a bang.

Required reading for writers -- The Prince. Final epp made Machivelli proud.

Protocols of Zion for extra credit. Especially for "reptilians" (wink wink nudge nudge -- explains why V is not online).
