V plot holes ruining the series a tad?
April 20th 2010 01:07
I'm a fan of V, both of the original show and this 're-imagining'. As the new show goes on though, I'm left wondering whether the gaping plot-holes are ruining this promising show.
A few spoilers so make sure you've seen up to episode "John May" before reading ahead. In this episode, Erica swears her son Tyler does indeed belong - biologically - to ex husband Joe, despite a DNA test stating otherwise some years earlier. Given Erica's adamant claims that Joe is indeed Tyler's father and that the test was wrong, the FBI agent never retook the test, an oddity to say the least. These sorts of silly decisions, fly in the face of logic, as did the previous weeks latex fake fingerprints fooling the V's amazing security systems, or the fact they didn't recognize the man put in charge of offing John May, strolling onto the ship.
These inconsistencies make no sense and actually ruin the show more than the overdone CGI. Now of course if Erica does actually decide to get another DNA test, the V's can tamper with the results to their hearts content, I mean they have access to all the phone and computer systems they like.
Maybe they will explain Erica's lack of a second opinion on V tampering back in the day, maybe they'll just ignore it, whatever the case, they need to stop with the silly character decisions, or the show will suffer in the ratings.
