I’m watching the second episode of V right now. There are some things that don’t make sense.
- The Visitors have all this advanced technology, but the only photos they have of the resistance cell from the first episode are blurry. If you can travel interstellar space, create holograms, make human skin suits… you can definitely have your flying recon drone record high quality video.
- If the Visitors have agents in the FBI, they probably have agents in all sorts of government groups. They should be able to take the recording of the 911 call they intercepted and do voice searches. (If I were doing an invasion this way, I’d definitely make databases of peoples’ voices.)
- Obviously, given that they have agents all over the place, the Visitors should have a lot more influence than the show indicates. They’ve been around for decades, most likely; that’s enough time to infiltrate relatively high levels of world governments. (Compare with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s shapeshifter infiltration of Federation and Klingon governments.)
So… yeah.
