I get the whole thing about human emotions being both a weakness and our greatest strength. Star Trek pulled that idea out every few episodes it seemed. But I don't get why an advanced alien race would believe in the power of the "human soul" as a real and independent entity. Why does Anna's mother believe in it? Why does Anna believe her mother without question despite no facts or logic to back her up? If the V don't believe in the human's god, they shouldn't be believing in abstract concepts like the soul.
This episode came off as sounding preachy and sanctimonious. Human souls aren't going to beat the V but human perseverance, passion, and ingenuity just might.
