V (TV Series) Siege (2011) User Reviews

Strongest episode so far

[altec91 · 8/10 · 15 February 2011]

Really enjoyed this episode as it is probably the most emotionally touching and human of all the episodes so far. I was concerned that season 2 would take an odd pseudo-Christian turn with Anna's questions about the human soul and how to study and destroy it, but this episode "Siege" was overall well directed and has renewed my "faith" in this series. And boy oh boy with the plot twists, but I don't want to spoil for you. Just watch and enjoy one of the better sci-fi shows currently on right now.

Now to fill out the rest of my 10 required lines of text. Here in Los Angeles, it's getting disappointing how mediocre the LA Lakers and LA Clippers are doing. They seem to routinely lose even to some mediocre teams.

The "new" V is excellent. Having been there to see the original, let me say the new version is not only a remake but a new generation. The scenes, characters and props are well-thought out and stand head and shoulders over most sci-fi series available today.

The casting of Morena Baccarin as Anna was a stroke of genius. I can see the "reptile" seething inside the character. The combined effort of the cast makes the plot seem a real-life possibility, even if one was not aware that it was a remake. Now, for those of you you who claim you don't like it and don't catch on, you just aren't smart enough to make a well-supported critique let alone appreciate the interstitial plot levels. Hope you grow wiser by the next generation's production!

Here the series dies.

Totally cliche. The lack of suspense and the truism that the narrative gives the viewer makes you lose the desire to continue watching. Are Humans so stupid to do exactly what Anna wants? A civilian crosses the FBI barrier, enters the property that is surrounded and dies exactly as she wanted ?! Worst narrative.

Ugh

Flawed yeah but there was potential with this whole show.

Regardless, the one character whose pure stupidity and selfishness sinks this show further down, is the son.

I suppose he has the whole teenage thing down but OMG is it beyond insufferable.

Lots of d!ck moves in this episode but what a horrid way to pour salt on a wound by acting the way he did at the end. Wildly unfair and a significant lack of empathy.

Be angry, absolutely, but he wasn't the only one who lost someone and his mother would understand him the most at that moment. Rather, he abandons and blames her instead.

But whatever... maybe teenagers really are massive jerks or maybe the writing for the character is meant to annoy the hell out of you.

Either way, I'm a fan of Elizabeth Michelle and that's what's encouraging me to finish the series.

I'm not going to rate the episode because my own personal annoyance is biased.

this episode just got me to hate the show forever

first off, absolutely clichéd; "SPOILERS" Oded Feir's character, Eli, dies, and Nicholas Lea's character, the dad, dies. now how it plays out is even worse; the dad tries to save someone and gets shot by either the Fifth Column or the police, hundreds of feet above them, and dies in Erica's arms, who gets held back by an officer who sees him in danger and yet holds her back. Erica and her son then get in a "heated" argument and she slaps him, which leads to him going to the V's in the end. Terrible. all of it. horrible acting, script, plot, and just overall deliverance. I'm definitely not going to watch this show after they failed miserably with this episode, also not giving the two best characters time to develop in the show (the dad and Eli). don't even waste your time with this, it's gonna get even worse as the show progresses.

1/10 Stars

Pure trash. Beginning of the end of this show.

I see why this show was canceled. I'm watching this a few years after it was broadcast. This show was pretty lame from the beginning but watchable until this episode. Enough holes to drive a truck through. Think I'll pass on the last few episodes.

It's so stupid.

Erica mouth looks like it can never close, her son is the dumbest person in this show. And everyone is threaten, either always saving family or gf, who cares? They are at war and Erica somehow thought sacrificing a few lives isn't worth it? But suddenly someone dies from her side and she starts being ok with it. Dumb show.
